| RALEIGH, NC –
MARCH 2005 – Cooper Hand Tools has introduced
its Nicholson® Pro Series 4-In-1 High Tension Hacksaw.
This new product features blades and a frame that can be configured
in four distinct ways: one for general use, another for making
flush cuts, a third for work in tight spaces, and a fourth
for making a variety of inside cuts as a sturdy jab saw.
The versatile tool in standard configuration
is a 90¾ hacksaw featuring high tension technology which allows
the user to tension the blade to as much as 30,000 PSI. The
blade can be quickly positioned to a 45¾ angle for making
flush cuts. When working in tight spaces, the front section
of the frame flips up out of the way and the blade is repositioned
to provide a low profile configuration. Finally, the hacksaw
converts into a sturdy jab saw for making inside cuts. The
hacksaw offers increased durability by utilizing a heavy duty
reciprocal saw blade (included) which is much stronger than
hacksaw blades typically used in convertible tools.
The 4-In-1 Hacksaw also provides magnetic blade
storage for an extra hacksaw blade or for the reciprocal saw
blade. It also features cushioned rubber grips for better
control and comfort and reduced slippage.
The new hacksaw is expected to retail for approximately $25
and will be available at participating independent and chain
hardware stores, at specialty stores and other retail outlets
including Internet retailers, and through industrial distributors.
