A hacksaw is built as a handheld frame with a replaceable blade whose fine teeth are designed for cutting metal and other non-wood materials. The key feature is the tensioned, replaceable blade, which makes it ideal for straight, controlled cuts in metal when you swap in the appropriate blade. Coping saws are geared toward intricate woodwork and use very flexible blades; back saws are woodworking tools with a stiff back for precise wood cuts; jig saws excel at curved cuts in wood (and sometimes metal) but aren’t the standard handheld tool made specifically for metal cutting with interchangeable blades. So the tool that best fits a handheld, replaceable blade design for cutting metal is the hacksaw.
