Second the good hacksaw frame; I like the style with a tension rod above

I'm planning to buy a good hacksaw tomorrow. Searched for good hacksaws,
found mention of one company I don't know about: Klein. I don't like the
tubular top bar, but it has the top tensioner you mention. The
Cooper/Nicholson high tension hacksaw looks like it's reasonable. (Not
the 4-in-1 Nicholson gewgaw.) The Stanley and cheap clones won't do: the
tensioning screw bottoms out too soon. Readers' favorites?

The top two on this page...

There are quite a few other makers of frames with the
tensioner below the handle like these - much nicer than
those with the tension rod on top that I'm familiar with. I
have similar Starrett that's pretty good, but I prefer the
Lenox.
