Today is a good day to consider a reciprocating saw โ particularly if you prefer Porter-Cable and donโt want to spend a lot of money. The company announced the launch of two new reciprocating saws โ a 7.5 AMP non-orbital model (PC75TRS) and an 8.5 AMP, more aggressive orbital unit, which the company is dubbing the โTigerSawโ (PC85TRSOK). The two saws offer users the speed of cut they require for many applications, including wood cutting, metal cutting, masonry cutting, demolition, fire and rescue, plunge cuts, and more.
Orbital Model โ PC85TRSOK
The PC85TRSOK features an efficient crank arm mechanism to obtain a compact footprint and robust design. With an 8.5 AMP motor and 1-1/8โณ stroke that delivers 3200 SPM and an orbital dial selector, the PC85TRSOK is intended for aggressive cutting applications. The orbital setting helps users cut in demolition applications where final cut quality is not a concern.
The orbital unit features a tool-free shoe adjustment and twist lock blade clamp for fast and easy blade changes. For comfort and durability, the PC85TRSOK includes an overmolded handle and an overmolded clamshell boot for a soft grip and easy control. Additionally, the 7.3-lbs. reciprocating saw features an efficient two-finger variable speed trigger and 6-foot rubber cord that provides durability and flexibility in cold weather conditions.
