High tension hacksaw frame

A hacksaw comprising:

• a blade tensioning device having a lever head connected to a lever to form an angle;
• a pistol grip assembly having a pistol grip connected to a first end of a bar;
• a pivot connected to a second end of said bar and to said lever head, said pivot allowing pivotal movement of the lever head and lever with respect to the bar;
• and,
• a saw blade having a first end connected to said pistol grip and a second end connected to said lever head so that as said lever head is moved said lever head rotates about said pivot putting tension on said saw blade.

A hacksaw comprising:

• a blade tensioning device having a lever head connected to a lever to form an angle;
• a pistol grip assembly having a pistol grip connected to a first end of a T-bar, a pivot connected to a second end of said T-bar and to said lever head;
• a saw blade having a first end connected to said pistol grip and a second end connected to said lever head so that as said lever head is moved said lever head rotates about said pivot putting tension on said saw blade;
• and
• a plurality of storage compartments formed by a space between said lever and said T-bar in which at least one additional hacksaw blade may be stored.
