Sabre Saw??'s

[JIMRPT@aol.com]

et al;
  I am getting ready to purchase a replacement for my sabre saw....the small
kind not the large ones for cutting timbers.......  Since this one lasted 17
years and cut, probably, numerous thousands of board feet of
maple/mah/birch/oak, etc., I am not familiar with what is currently available.
My records indicate I paid 37.95 for it back in 1981 so I suppose I can't
complain about its longevity or economy huh? ( I had to buy this one to
replace a four thousand pound :-), seemed like it anyway, Milwaukee that could
not stand up to the challenge of being dropped off of a thirty five foot
scaffold onto bare concrete.)
 Any suggestions?
