HANDY TOOL to carry

It is amazing how often I use mine. With a couple of different blade selections it is a great tool.

That one looks better than the cheap ones usually found in stores which are just about worthless.

Took awhile for me to see it. Kept tapping the computer screen to start a video. Geezo.

Me too- what's the point of linking us to the Oliver trailer website with a pic of the trailer on a computer screen????

Here's a no-frills pic of the one I carry- it is a very handy tool:

Well, I for one must be computer illiterate, because I never saw a hacksaw on that web site. If the above photo is what the thread is about, those have been around for years and decades! Its not a new invention, maybe there's just renewed interest in them. Just went out to my garage and sure enough, there it was hanging on my peg-board. Blade rusty from lack of use, but still in good shape! It's a "Stanley". I had this little tool as long as I can possibly remember, and I'm almost 60 years old now. But because it's got a plastic handle, it's probably manufactured in the last 1970's. That's about the same time I started accumulating my own tools.



EDIT: OK, I'm really blind! Now I know it's old age. Went back to the web site and looked at the computer image. It's laying on top of the keyboard! I was looking for a link to click or something. That photo is not the best. I suppose the poster is trying to show his support for the camper.

I'd bet you've gotcherself a real collector's item there, Dutch- looks like it has the gen-you-wine original blade!

Had one in my tool box in the garage and use it a lot. Never thought of getting one for the trailer, but that will be changing.

I have one of these also. Another similar tool I used a lot in my job is a folding blade holder that accepts Milwakee (sp) style blades.

I have one just like yours and have also had it for years. I still use it often but found one I like even better at a flea market a couple of years ago. It is a handle that a sawzall blade will snap into and the handle pivots so it can be used straight like the saw shown or at 90 degrees for a pistol grip like saw. Added advantage is all the types of blades available for sawzall.

Oh...., yeah. Pretty sure that's the Bad boy RJCarazza mentioned, post before yours. Got one of those in my kit, too! (See below pic).
Between the two of these saws I could build a house, beginning with harvesting the trees myself!
If I had to.
Assuming I'd lost my credit card or the world was otherwise coming to an end or something. ;)
