Porter-Cable announces the launch of a new 18 Volt ClampSaw Reciprocating Saw (PCC475B) that offers the power, speed and innovation professionals demand for ultimate performance. Its innovative tool free clamping shoe makes it ideal for contractors who cut pipe, strut, threaded rod or rebar.
“We wanted to give our users a tool that has the power to perform tough applications while providing controlled cuts when working with smaller material,” said Wil Granger, group product manager, Porter-Cable. “Based upon our research a lot of users express frustration with starting and completing cuts in smaller material such as pipe or strut. The issues with material movement when cutting are threefold: lower productivity; reduced accuracy; and marring the surface of the material. The PCC475B reciprocating saw greatly reduces these frustrations with a tool free shoe that extends around the material and clamps it into place for a fast, accurate and clean cut.”
A three-position pivoting handle allows users to fit the saw into tight spaces. In the off-set position, the saw is just over 12” from front to back making it easy to get in between rafters. When the user needs to minimize the height of the tool, they can extend the tool to the inline position so that the distance from top to bottom is less than five inches.
The PCC475B features a one-inch stroke length that delivers up to 3,000 strokes per minute (SPM). It also has a tool free blade change and a slip-resistant over molded handle and gear housing for comfort. An LED light illuminates workspaces in dark areas.
Weighing just 4.4 pounds, the PCC475B ClampSaw reciprocating saw is compact and lightweight.
The 18 Volt ClampSaw will come with a three-year limited warranty, one-year service contract and 90-day money-back guarantee.
