Ingersoll-Rand Sawzall

[Mb4]

Anyone familiar with the Ingersoll-Rand/Millers Falls super saw? I rarely see these things around. Were they homeowner or contractor grade saws?

The old, original Miller Falls Tools weren't homeowner class. After IR sold them, well they didn't really survive very well and anything today with a MF on it, is from china

I found this Ingersol Rand reciprocating saw at an Estate Sale this weekend
It's not a Sawzall darn it.
Sawzall's are made by Milwaukee

Real interesting piece
Cool as shiznick
So....
What the heck?
I just couldn't pass it up

Genog, does it work?

Kinda looks like a big ray gun from a 60's movie.

Genog, does it work?

Seems to run well.
I'll put a blade on it and run it under a load.

Just an amusing thought..... my darn neighbor four doors down has a CRUMMY broken down fence that I would love to run over and cut down
