Sometimes the only way is to do it by hand. This is true for lots of tools, and definitely true with saws. That's why the DWHT20542 was made: for flexibility, versatility, and especially reliability. You get total control and the ability to fit into places where no reciprocating saw or traditional hacksaw can go, but you can use their blade on its unique handle with tension nut and ergonomic shape. It's smart to have as a backup plan, but you'll see, you will be grabbing it first for lots of jobs. It packs easily, is super versatile and will never let you down! Get one for the tool kit and one for the survival kit so you can be ready for the worst and hope for the best. With Murdoch's and DEWALT, you never have to hope - quality is guaranteed, every time. Now that's reliability. Works with most standard reciprocating saw and handsaw blades. Quick blade change with tension nut. Ergonomic bi-material handle for extra comfort. | DEWALT Multi-Purpose Saw DWHT20542
