18 TPI | High Carbon Steel | Cuts Aluminum, Steel, Copper | Universal Fit | Contractor Grade | 2 Blades Per Pack
Keep Spare Blades on the Truck — Cut Aluminum, Steel, and Copper Without Stopping
Gutter contractors know that a dull or damaged blade stops the job. The Black and Decker 12 inch hacksaw blade 2-pack — also called replacement hacksaw blades, metal cutting blades, contractor saw blades, bi-metal blades, and hacksaw refills — provides high carbon steel cutting performance at a value price point. The 18 TPI tooth count delivers the versatility contractors need for cutting aluminum gutters, galvanized steel hangers, copper downspouts, and PVC drain fittings without changing blades between materials. The 2-pack format means contractors always have a spare blade ready when the current blade dulls or breaks mid-job. These 12 inch blades fit all standard hacksaw frames including Milwaukee, DeWalt, Stanley, Lenox, and Black and Decker hacksaws — universal compatibility that simplifies inventory and purchasing. High carbon steel construction provides the hardness required for clean cuts through gutter materials while maintaining enough flexibility to resist snapping under pressure. GutterAll supplies Black and Decker hacksaw blades to gutter contractors, roofing professionals, and construction crews throughout the Pacific Northwest and nationally from the Damascus, Oregon location.

Why Contractors Stock Replacement Hacksaw Blades
Every gutter job involves cutting, and every cutting job eventually dulls the blade. Contractors who carry replacement blades — also known as hacksaw refills, metal cutting blades, contractor saw blades, bi-metal blades, and replacement hacksaw blades — never lose time driving to a hardware store mid-project. The Black and Decker 12 inch hacksaw blade 2-pack provides two high carbon steel blades at a contractor-friendly price point, ensuring a fresh blade is always available when cutting performance starts to decline. The 18 TPI tooth count represents the sweet spot for gutter work — enough teeth for smooth cuts in aluminum and thin materials, but not so many that the blade clogs when cutting thicker steel or copper. This versatility means contractors can use one blade type for most gutter materials instead of carrying multiple TPI options.
High carbon steel blade construction provides the hardness required for clean, efficient cuts while maintaining enough flexibility to resist the snapping that plagues cheaper blades. The teeth are heat-treated and set to cut on the push stroke, removing material efficiently with each forward pass. Unlike bi-metal blades that combine a flexible back with hardened teeth, high carbon steel blades offer consistent hardness throughout — making them ideal for the straight, controlled cuts gutter work demands. The 12 inch length is the industry standard for hacksaw blades, fitting frames from Milwaukee, DeWalt, Stanley, Lenox, Black and Decker, and virtually every other hacksaw manufacturer. This universal compatibility simplifies purchasing and ensures these blades work with whatever hacksaw the contractor already owns.
For contractors making dozens of cuts per day, blade sharpness directly affects productivity. A sharp blade cuts faster with less effort, producing cleaner results that require less finishing. Keeping fresh blades available means never struggling with a dull blade that binds, wanders, or requires excessive force. The 2-pack format provides the backup blade every contractor should carry while offering better per-blade value than single blade purchases.

Technical Explanation — Why 18 TPI Is the Contractor Standard
TPI — teeth per inch — determines how a hacksaw blade performs on different materials. Lower TPI blades (14-18) have larger teeth that remove more material per stroke, making them faster on thicker materials but leaving rougher cuts. Higher TPI blades (24-32) have smaller teeth that produce smoother cuts but work slower and can clog on soft materials like aluminum. The 18 TPI specification in these Black and Decker blades represents the optimal compromise for gutter contractor work. At 18 TPI, the blade cuts efficiently through aluminum gutters and downspouts without the teeth clogging with soft aluminum chips — a common problem with finer-tooth blades. The same 18 TPI count handles galvanized steel hangers and straps with enough teeth engaged to cut smoothly without skipping or chattering. For copper gutters and downspouts, 18 TPI provides clean cuts with minimal burring. This versatility means contractors can use one blade type for essentially all gutter materials instead of carrying and switching between multiple TPI options. The general rule for hacksaw cutting is to keep at least 3 teeth in contact with the material at all times — 18 TPI achieves this on materials as thin as 1/8 inch while still cutting efficiently on thicker stock.
Work Applications — Where 18 TPI Blades Deliver Value
The Black and Decker 18 TPI blade addresses five primary cutting applications for gutter contractors:
| Application | The Challenge | Why It Helps |
|---|---|---|
| Cutting Aluminum Gutters | Fine-tooth blades clog with soft aluminum chips | 18 TPI clears chips efficiently without clogging |
| Sizing Downspout Sections | Tubes require straight, clean cuts for proper fit | High carbon steel holds edge for accurate cuts |
| Cutting Steel Hangers | Galvanized steel dulls blades quickly | Hardened teeth maintain sharpness through steel |
| Trimming Copper Components | Copper requires clean cuts to prevent patina issues | 18 TPI balances speed and finish quality |
| Cutting PVC Drain Fittings | Plastic melts with slow, high-friction cuts | Efficient cutting prevents heat buildup |
TPI Selection Guide — When to Use Different Tooth Counts
| TPI | Best For | Gutter Applications |
|---|---|---|
| 14 TPI | Thick materials, fast rough cuts | Heavy steel, thick-wall pipe |
| 18 TPI (This Product) | General purpose, multiple materials | Aluminum gutters, steel hangers, copper, PVC |
| 24 TPI | Thin materials, precision cuts | Thin steel, stainless components |
| 32 TPI | Very thin materials, smooth finish | Sheet metal, delicate trim work |

Blade Change Guide — Replacing Hacksaw Blades Properly
- Release blade tension: Loosen the tensioning mechanism on the hacksaw frame. On Milwaukee high-tension saws, pull the blade change lever. On standard saws, turn the wing nut counterclockwise.
- Remove the old blade: Once tension is released, lift the blade off the mounting pins at both ends of the frame. Handle carefully — even dull blades have sharp edges.
- Inspect the frame: Check the mounting pins for damage or debris. Clean if necessary. Verify the tensioning mechanism moves freely.
- Orient the new blade correctly: Hacksaw blades cut on the push stroke. Mount the blade with teeth pointing away from the handle — toward the front of the frame.
- Install the new blade: Place the blade holes over the mounting pins at both ends of the frame. Ensure the blade seats fully on both pins.
- Apply tension: Tighten the tensioning mechanism to pull the blade taut. On lever-release saws, release the lever to apply tension. On wing nut saws, turn clockwise until blade is tight.
- Check blade alignment: The blade should be straight and centered in the frame. Misalignment causes binding and premature blade failure.
- Verify proper tension: Pluck the blade like a guitar string — it should produce a clear, high-pitched tone. A dull thud indicates insufficient tension.
- Make a test cut: Cut a scrap piece of material to verify the blade tracks straight and cuts efficiently before starting actual work.
- Store the old blade safely: Wrap dull blades in cardboard or place in a blade sleeve before disposing. Never leave loose blades in tool bags where they can cause cuts.

Safety Notice
HACKSAW BLADE SAFETY. Always wear safety glasses when using a hacksaw — metal chips and blade fragments can cause serious eye injury. Handle blades carefully — teeth are sharp and edges can cut skin. Do not use cracked, bent, or damaged blades — they can break under tension and cause injury. Ensure proper blade tension before cutting to prevent blade breakage. Store loose blades in sleeves or wrap in cardboard to protect teeth and prevent accidental cuts. Dispose of used blades safely — wrap in cardboard or tape before discarding.
