Use Tape to Make a Flush Hacksaw

One tool that everyone should have in their toolbox is a hacksaw. This hand-powered tool is great for those who want to trim metal, cables, and wood - and it's even a good option when you want to cut something flush to the surface. However, you'll need to make a few adjustments to your saw if you intend to do this, as hacksaws can sometimes damage the surface of the material you're cutting.
