WHAT A HANDY TOOL A RECIPROCATING AIR SAW IS

Introducing the latest innovation from Laser Tools: a handy and versatile reciprocating air saw (part number 8788). This cutting-edge tool (see what I did there?) is equipped with user-friendly features, including a safety lock-off throttle lever, adjustable-position rear exhaust, and a built-in two-speed design that significantly prolongs the lifespan of the blades.

 

This air saw incorporates a vibration-damping system that minimizes user fatigue by reducing vibrations to a low level, in compliance with EN ISO 28927-8 standards (3.3m/s2). The rear exhaust port is fully adjustable through 360 degrees, ensuring that exhaust air is directed away from the work area.

It’s a technologically advanced vehicle featuring an all-aluminium monocoque tubular hybrid with billet machined suspension mounts. As such it was a clean-sheet, modern car More >

PennGrade 1 High Performance Motor Oil has strong detergents, dispersants and ZDDP anti-wear additives to protect critical engine parts from deposits in highly stressed engines. More >
