I need to cut some steel rod.

Should a hacksaw blade be placed in the saw so as it cuts on the push or
pull stroke or is just the users choice ?

Use a jigsaw with a metal blade.
==================

Or a recip saw.

And a jigsaw doesn't reciprocate? Huh? HUH? H U H ?

Ohhh.. I get it...a jigsaw goes up and down and a recip goes back and
forth.... LOL

Actually... a metal blade in a bandsaw works nice too...if the size
permits.
But the hacksaw takes only seconds per cut,oesn't need to be plugged
in or use batteries, and gives you a mild workout at the same time. If
you are cutting a dozen or so, use the power saw.
