[Newbie] What Makes A Hack Saw High Tension?

[John Hasler]

Never heard of rating a hacksaw in psi. Considering how low the prices are on 'high tension' hacksaws its a wonder that they make any other kind.

I wonder how high the tension really is on the cheaper ones.

I have a hacksaw that I use 5/8" wide blades on it instead of 1/2" wide blades. It cuts a little wider knerf than regular blades do, but it don't flex. The hacksaw blades I use are labeled "power hacksaw" blades, if you are wondering what I use.
