Skilsaw announces its entry into the linear cutting market with a 13-amp reciprocating saw with patented Buzzkill™ technology.
This saw joins Skilsaw’s legendary lineup and features Buzzkill technology, a patented full-frame counterbalance that suppresses vibration up to 35% over the competition. That means comfortable, controlled cuts that won’t wear out the user or the saw, as well as superior cut control and faster cutting.
While some tools on the market feature a rotational system, which transmits vibration in multiple directions, Skilsaw features a linear system, which simplifies the counterbalance to maintain superior vibration control with fewer wear points. The reduced vibration makes the tool more durable, increasing its lifespan and providing greater comfort for the user.
Skilsaw also developed the patented single-wobble drive train, which reduces friction to slow down heat buildup for a longer tool life. In addition, the 13-amp reciprocating saw features a unique clock spring brush system. The constant spring is designed for durability and optimal motor performance as the saw pushes through the cut, regardless of heat or dust flow.
Other notable features include a variable speed trigger for cutting specialized materials, a secure tool-less blade clamp that holds up to harsh jobsite demands, and an oversize trigger for flexibility in multiple cutting positions.
While the 13-amp SPT44A-00 reciprocating saw is a compact model with an ergonomic design for lighter use, its tough motor still provides enough power for any application. It is the only reciprocating saw in the compact market with both counterbalance and a single-wobble drive train. The 13-amp reciprocating saw is priced at $99.
A 15-amp heavy-duty reciprocating saw, which is priced at $179, will be available later this year.
