Corded hacksaws plug into a wired power source to provide consistent power output and long run times when cutting pipe, steel, cast iron, and other materials. The straight blade is attached inline with the tool and moves back and forth across the workpiece to make the cut. Power hacksaws have a slower speed and longer stroke length than reciprocating saws, which slows cutting speed but leaves a better edge. Cutting fluid can be used to lubricate and cool the blade when cutting metal to extend the life of the blade.
