Default reciprocating hacksaws

Hello,

Can you get hacksaw blades for sabre/reciprocating saws and if so, how
effective are they?

I have a rusty (beyond repair) wheelbarrow and barbeque to chop up and
dispose. Would such a saw cope with these or do I need to use an angle
grinder? The cutting discs never last that long; I thought the saw
blade might have better longevity?

I read through some old posts here and the Aldi model was recommended
as good for a beginner but I could not find any left in my shops;
that's what comes from reading old posts! The Screwfix Titan was also
recommended but that particular one has been discontinued too ;(

IIRC the advice was to get one that needed a spanner rather than a
quick release blade change because the latter would let the blade
loose. Is that still the case?

TIA
