I have two of them, my favorite is an older, essentially identical

The one piece die cast aluminum handle and frame end have good feel,


That's the best hacksaw I've found as well. Note the bulge in the hand

comfort.

Lenox bi-metal blades are also far better than Starrett blades, though
they are relatively expensive.
