Thanx, guys. Banging the blade tip on a big rock, and trying to twist the chuck worked! The red 'collar' must be rotated to release the blade. I once tried to shake the saw to release the blade while turning the collar while the saw was plugged in. Touchy trigger!

The saw blade is stuck in the 'chuck', of my Craftsman LED Sabre Saw, Model 320 17255, 506H015927. I have tried all kinds of stuff to get it out. Any hints????? I really like the power of this tool, and do not want to replace it.
Thanx,,,,
