9225-01 Orbital Action Reciprocating Saw
Most woodworkers end up doing occasional remodeling projects, too. For those pipe-cutting, stud removal and general demolition jobs, few tools are more handy than a reciprocating saw. With the right blade, you can even use these saws for trimming shrub and tree branches. Skil's 9225-01 model 9.5-amp saw comes packed with all the features you'll want from a good recip. It includes orbital cutting action and variable speed so you can adjust the tool's performance to suit the material you're cutting. No matter how aggressive the cut may be, Skil improves user comfort by way of vibration control and soft overmolds on both the handle and boot. Other niceties include a Power On LED indicator, on-board blade storage, two finger trigger and an EZ lock blade change system. The 9225-01 saw and carrying bag sell for $79.99.
5680-01 7 1/4 in. Skilsaw
Skil, a brand synonymous with circular saws, continues to refine this venerable power tool. Its new 5680-01 7 1/4 in. model ($69.99), which is lighter and more compact than previous saws, has several other updated features. The saw now has a single-beam laser light to help ensure straight cuts as well as a wider foot for better stability. A 2.5-HP, 14-amp motor ensures that cutting will be quick and up to task. You'll appreciate several important safety provisions that include a Power On LED indicator, Skil's patented Anti-Snag lower guard and a guarded, safety lock trigger. And, when it comes to heavy cutting tasks, this saw will cut material up to 2 7/16 in. thick at 90° or nearly 2 in. when tipped to 45°. A carbide-tipped blade, wrench and carrying bag are also included.
