  • Publication number: 20150020392
    Abstract: A hand saw including a blade, a frame that supports the blade, and a tensioning mechanism. The frame including a first leg having a first blade support, a second leg spaced from the first leg, a cross member extending between the first leg and the second leg, and a handle. The tensioning mechanism including a bracket having a second blade support, the bracket pivotable with respect to the frame in a first direction to increase a distance between the blade supports and in an opposite direction to decrease the distance between the blade supports, a lever actuatable between a tension position and a release position, and a linkage that couples the lever to the bracket such that movement of the lever towards the tension position pivots the bracket in the first direction, and movement of the lever towards the release position pivots the bracket in the second direction.
