Don't press on so hard. You won't get any much better than Bahco.
yours, Pete
I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I find that using cutting fluid extends the life considerably, same with drills. When I made my chassis I think I used five hacksaw blades, (Eclipse),
which I thought was pretty good. Ray
To make a car go faster, just add lightness. Colin Chapman - OR - fit a bigger engine. Chippy

I use Eberle Duoflex (sp?) when I can find them. That last ones I found were a fiver each on some market stall and I still have them both and they are
as good as the day I bought them 5 years ago!!!

Really a matter of practice -- learn to relax and don't try and cut to fast.
I cut most of my chassis's 1.5mm rhs with a single Eclipse 18tpi HSS blade -- a 24 tpi would have been better, in fact essential if cutting
1.2mm rhs.
If you still find you are breaking a lot of blades switch to cheaper bi-metal blades -- the teeth blunt quicker but they are harder to break.

Make sure they are tensioned correctly , do not force and use about 60 cutting strokes per minute . At work the blades they supply are crap , at home
I use some blades I got in exchange for some work best part of 20 years ago that seem to last forever
