Milwaukee Electric Tool introduced new Sawzall reciprocating saws. Available in a 1 1/8-in. stroke length (6519-31) and 3/4-in. stroke length (6509-31), Milwaukee says the new saws cut up to two times faster and last up to two times longer. Both are powered by a 12A motor; a patented gear-protecting clutch extends gear and motor life by absorbing high impact forces. The Quik-Lok blade clamp offers fast tool-free blade changes. To provide greater user comfort, a counter-weighted mechanism reduces vibration for smoother operation, and a redesigned front grip area provides better ergonomics. The tools have a five-year warranty. (Appeared EBMag August 2010, Products)
