Quick Cutter Hand Saw - Equivalent Product

[CGarage]

Is there a NON-Snap-On equivalent to the Quick Cutter Hand Saw?

Thank you!

Just a handle for recip blades, right?

Folding Jab Saw

The Milwaukee® Folding Jab Saw allows for quick cutting into multiple materials using standard SAWZALL® recip saw blades.

Is there a “best in class” recip saw blade handle?

I just bought a Nicholson universal handle to try out.

Thanks in advance.

I have that Milwaukee handle... there's a little bit of play / wiggle in the blade but in practice cutting things it's not an issue. Most depots seem to have em in stock. $20 ?

I've had that Milwaukee for 5+ years, but I also almost never use it. But it's well made and works fine. Can't see a reason to buy something like this from Snap On.

I have a couple close quarters saws that take hacksaw blades, and I have drywall jab saws.

I would buy one of these if I found it at an estate/garage sale. I can’t justify buying it at anywhere near retail.

I like the way they look, and I like hard handles, though.

Lenox had a metal folding saw. I had one at one time, but I haven’t seen it in years.

The Dewalt version takes recip or hacksaw blades.
I have one.

Snap-On is pretty proud of their handle…

For as much as I would use it, I can’t justify the ~ $90 they want.

Ridiculous.

I rarely pay any attention to Kobalt tools but I was in store one day & this caught my eye so I bought it. Got it last year, was about $15 IIRC. Still haven't needed to use it though.

Had a saw handle like this cost more than $20 I wouldn't even consider it. Better come with blades too!

I've been hanging out at my buddy's shop recently. Last week Snap-on started coming around again. Turns out the new SO guy is my buddy's (the one who owns the shop) son's friend's father.

I haven't been in a SO truck in years, I can't believe how expensive stuff is these days. I thought they were expensive back in the early 00s when I used to work at a shop, I did buy from them though. But man, these days I cringe at their prices & can't justify buying anything from them. At least I was able to get one of my sockets warrantied.

I have a Lennox branded version.

Same here, the lennox came with 2 recip blades I have only used the course one I only bought it because I can’t find a blade for my 30 plus year old Stanley handle
