Those are 62-64 HRC and 32 TPI. I'm thinking of getting those and the saw to go with them, would you guys consider that good quality or should I be looking at other brands?

In an older thread Stacy mentioned "good high tension hacksaw frame and a pack of 24TPI lenox Bi-metal blades".

Are the different brands the same length blade? As in if I buy the lenox blades will they fit the dewalt frame?

Also 24 TPI vs 32 TPI, is 32 too fine?
