sawsall with 2 blades

Geo-TH,In · Jan 11, 2015

I saw a $79 sawsall at Menards with 2 blades that are to work opposite of each other. They claimed it was smooth operating. I posted a link to Menards. Currently my Menards web page is down.

I don't have a sawsall like this. Does anyone have one? I never heard of one before. Are there other brands like this one?

Looks like an $80 gimmick to me.
It's sad to see a pos tool like that called a Sawzall®

It might be useful, I know I sure love my electric fish filet knife! That's a quite a bit of money for a gimmick tool though. I have a single blade saw (I won't call it a Sawzall) from HF that has always done what I need.

I stand corrected, Reciprocating saw not Sawsall. Everyone, I know either doesn't know or doesn't care, they call reciprocating saw a sawsall.

I think Skill made the first circular saw. For years many people would called a circular saw a skill saw.

Be very honest, was anyone confused because I didn't use the correct terminology?

So far my post has gone sideways over terminology. Please get back to my question, does anyone have a 2 bladed saw? Does anyone else make one?

I could lend you some facial tissue....I keep it in a toolbox on my haybine. , which is parked next to the frigidaire in the shop.

Looks like a good idea! Would probably work best with thin material in awkward areas, Would stop the jerking toward the heel. It's probably a little light for regular use, be best for delicate jobs. The blades are cheap, probably be a little hard to find other than the dealer that sells the saw.

I noticed they use special blades.
I have many conventional blades. I wish my Dewalt
cordless didn't shake so hard, it rips loose
electrical connections between cells in battery.
I've had to repair many batteries because of the
shaking. Been thinking of adding extra weight to
the saw, inertial mass, to dampen vibrations. So
far, I've haven't come up with a good way to do it.

If your saw is shaking then either you are not holding it firm enough, trying to cut too much too fast or your blade is wore out.

Geo-TH,In · Jan 11, 2015

It shakes even with new blades. I buy good moorse blades. I press the foot firmly. It's varibale speed. Sometimes the faster the less it shakes. I use 18v 3000ma Ni-Mh batteries. If you use a dewalt cordless you will see what I mean. It's one strong saw that shakes my batteries apart.

If Dewalt made a 2 bladed saw cordless saw, I would buy it in a heart beat.

Greg1959 · Jan 11, 2015

Ihave the corded and cordless(18v) DeWalt saws. They don't shake unless I get the blade in a bind, get in too much of a hurry.
You are right, they are good saws.

Geo-TH,In · Jan 11, 2015

Perhaps I'm not holding it right. Do you damage batteries like I do? Do you use the Ni-Mh battery? I never damaged the old Ni-cd, they weren't that strong. It could be my strong battery is causing my problem.

You have to hole the foot up tight against the material you are cutting.

Geo-TH,In · Jan 11, 2015

I know that, I've had a recripricating saw for 30 years. I have a corded and cordless one. Sometimes I use my saw to cut studs out of a wall. So cutting the stud at the top plate or bottom plate, cutting nails, blade gets pinched, there is a lot of shaking going on. Can't always have foot against what you are cutting.

I think the 2 bladed saw may be what I need. Wish it was made by a brand name like Dewalt.

Let's get back to the question. Does anyone have one and who else maked it? Why does this post seem to go sideways?

I wouldn't get too excited over people giving you crap about nomenclature. Just listen to all of them on here calling a battery ign unit a distributor. Sure it has a distributor but so does most every magneto. Tough to get that spark distributed to multiple cylinders without a distributor. Now, as far as the double bladed reciprocating saw, I know nothing like Schultz would say.

GordoSD · Jan 11, 2015

Dewalt saw doesn't shake. Get a friend to show you how to run it.

GordoSD · Jan 11, 2015

It will shake badly if the material you are cutting isn't held firm. Like a tree branch near the middle. Move to the trunk and all is well. Try holding the material being cut much more firmly.

Geo, lots of things seem to go sideways on here. But, that might be something to look at when I get to Menards, haven't seen anything like that by anyone else. Now for my sideways part, oldest son has 18v Dewalt, shakes like crazy, has bad teeth in drive gears. Got a new 20v one, and it is smooth as silk.
my 2 cents.
