Handle for reciprocating blades?

[PT Doc]

I'm wondering if there is handle that will accept reciprocating blades so they can be used manually for finer or close quarter work.

Thanks

Snapon has one, will look for the part number.

Here is a cheaper option, possibly Chinese, but it gets good reviews.

Could use a piece of wood and shape it too hot hand and add a metal latch to fit in the blade. Or wrap a long blade in paracord.

Craftsman has one that is super handy, will take hacksaw blades as well.

The Milwaukee one is very nice. I have used mine a couple times and it was only like 13$

DeWalt makes one also. Snap on is crazy over priced.

I have this one. I love it. I've used it for small drywall work, but I use it mainly for cleaning up my banana trees.

I got this one at Home Depot the other day on clearance for under $5. I can't find it on their site now but definitely worth checking. Even comes with 2 blades.

I have used the Milwaukee and the lenox one, Milwaukee felt a little better in my hand but both are decent.

 

[PT Doc]

Sweet. Thanks for the help. I love gj for the help and the love of tools you guys share.

I've got a couple of the Milwaukee handles with different blades for bush and shrub work.

I've got the Milwaukee, I use it to cut out dash plastic for fitting double din radio's. Just like the other Milwaukee tools I've got, seems very well made.

Bosch and Stanley both used to make them.

I used to have one made by Stanley. It broke one day and I was happy to toss it in the trash. The Milwaukee is so much better.

I just use duct tape. But most of the guys around here have one. All sorts of brands of various quality.

My Stanley is a large cushioned rubber grip similar to the old style fat max (before the black/yellow). I've had it for years with nary an issue, tho it's normally got a hack saw blade in it. Sound like yours?
I've got a bosch that holds jig saw blades and recip blades - looks nothing like the one posted above - but it's also over 12 years old. I prefer it's svelte shape.
Pretty sure neither was made in China either.

This one looks good, and it holds a hex bit too.

 

[Jason280]

I have the Snap On version. It's a bit pricy new, but can be found much cheaper if you know where to look...

 

[BFHtime]

I user tape or a glove or both. You could make something. Piece of metal for a handle, washer, nut and bolt.

GreatNeck SS100. Fantastic little saw. The handle reminds be of the older generation Matco screwdriver handle. Very nice to grip. Made in USA too.

That wasn't mine. I guess I had the budget model - uncomfortable grip and a thumb screw up hold the blades in.

Just bought two of these! Takes hex and recip both and bends into an L shape too. Closeout. Made in Germany. Anyone know who made these for Craftsman?

Also Cripe has a ton of really neato special blades to put into it under Milwaukee, here are some:

I want to see if some of the blades will work in my 1/2 stroke mini recip saw too - they should.


Merry Christmas! - Paul

The one I use is made in Germany. Pretty high quality and was about $10 shipped on amazon.... Link Here

Yes, that's the same one I just linked to above. Looks to be good. - Paul

Actually I am pretty sure you were the one that caused me to get it months ago... you beat me in this thread while I was searching for the link as well.

I've had a previous version of the Milwaukee for several years. There are some times when you just can't beat a versatile hand saw. With that being said, does anyone know of a handle that accepts T-shank jigsaw blades?

 

[kgorman]

I have the Stanley one in the truck, and it's awesome. I want to try the Bosch one for the shop..

Has anyone tried the armstrong one? Looks very similar to the snap on version.

I have this same one and it works. I don't know about the Milwaukee, but the Lenox one allows the blade to fold into the handle.

The Milwaukee does the same.

All true but when you can get the German made Craftsman for just over $10 why not live a little?

 

[defektes]

Napa sells USA made ones for about 16 bucks.

That looks like a very good handle.

Nice to see that Cripe's finally has a website that works, instead of going through eBay.
