Hilti WSR 1250-PE reciprocating saw

Date Published: 5/3/07

If you need a saw with commercial-grade features and power, the WSR 1250-PE reciprocating saw from Hilti is a top option. The tool is powered by a 12-amp motor, and its Smart Power system monitors the load and automatically makes adjustments to maintain a constant blade speed. It also features a variable-speed trigger and a six-position contact shoe for increased cutting depth control.

The Hilti WSR 1250-PE reciprocating saw is an ergonomically designed tool, with a full-hand trigger for comfort and an effective anti-vibration system to cut down on user fatigue. It also comes with a side handle that absorbs even more vibration and lets the user keep a nice amount of control of the unit. The keyless blade clamp makes it easy to change blades quickly.

Because this is a professional tool, it's covered by Hilti's 1-year full-service program, an elaborate program that includes maintenance, repair or replacement, and shipping for a full year.


Pros: Automatic blade speed adjustment
Cons: Price



Warranty
1 year, full
