All I can say, is that usually, cheap tools let you down sooner than good ones. It may sound a bit odd to you, but you get accustomed to how tools work and the tools adapt to the way you use them.
If you use a large hacksaw you usually find it cuts in a specific way, so you compensate for any off line movement by biasing the pressure you apply as you cut. Eventually the tool wears and biases to the way you use it.
The thing is, if your mate lends you his or her hacksaw you soon find it cuts all over the place as you have probably become accustomed to exerting pressure on the tool in a different way than your mate.
Try asking a "Chippie" if you can borrow his or her saw? Usually you get a big NO!!!!! for the same reason.
It doesn't only apply to saws either it applies to nearly all tools.
So its better to buy good quality tools that you can use for ages, than to have to go through a new learning process every few weeks on tool replacements.
