hacksaw definition and meaning

What is a "hacksaw"?

A hacksaw is a type of hand saw designed for cutting through metal, plastic, and other hard materials. It consists of a thin, serrated blade stretched between two metal frames, with a handle for gripping. The blade is replaceable and can be adjusted to different angles for precise cuts. Hacksaws are commonly used in plumbing, metalworking, and DIY projects to cut pipes, rods, and various materials that are too tough for standard saws. The fine teeth of the blade allow for smoother, more accurate cuts.
