The "hacksaw tool" is called a growler. Sets up a magnetic field around the armature and checks for shorts with the hacksaw blade held just over the armature body. Turning the armature on the fixture makes a growling sound hence the name. The hacksaw blade will vibrate when it senses a short. A must-have when working on motors.

Yeah that!
@50lbbrain You're getting so big! Nicely done!
Thank you!
Starter looks good did you check the engines not seized
I drove the car home after the starter failed.
And I found evidence of arcing on the stator casing and field windings.
