    Mini hack saw handle from exacto handle

    Exacto knives in my shop are some of the handiest little tools but there are times when a knife blade is not what I need, and a saber saw or saws-all or even just a hacksaw blade in a mini handle will not do the job even a 1 1/2" circular saw blade in a die grinder is not convenient
    So what I did was to spread the collet of an exacto knife handle open enough to accept a saber saw blade

    I have a close-quarter hacksaw with a good handle and very fine toothed blade. I use it much more than a regular hacksaw fir small projects.
