Ultralight saw with heavyweight capability.
The Lite Saber can be assembled in seconds and the blade stores safely in handle when not in use. 1" diameter handle offers a secure, comfortable grip, yet packs away easily. Uses standard sized reciprocating saw blades - Replacements can be purchased at most hardware stores.
Ships with a second red cap that can be used to make the saw buoyant.
Bi-Metal blades are lighter, more flexible and less expensive to replace. Carbide blades are slightly heavier, but the blades are more rigid and typically last much longer.
There are two methods for storing blade in handle:
- Capped: Red cap used to retain blade inside handle
- T-Handle : Ditch the cap (0.11oz) and use tension to secure blade in handle
