Re: Please help me find
I have a Green Ryobus ONE+. I bought it at a garage sale for five dollars years ago. I popped a battery in it and a new Freud saw blade and it ran like a champion. The story of a Milwaukee sawzall burning up is an odd one and I would say rare. Because we wouldn't even call other brands of reciprocating saws SAWZALL if it wasn't for the Milwaukee brand. Jerome Schnettler or Edward Ristow in 1951 created the Sawzall reciprocating saw, and it was such a hit we now call EVERY reciprocating saw a SAWZALL, no matter what manufacturer produced it. Same goes for the circular saw, while (I think) Porter Cable was the first to place a circular saw in the hands of carpenters. It was Skil who made them popular all across the world. When you are on the job men who have DeWalt, Makita, Milwaukee, or Hitachi will call their saw a Skil saw.
I used my father's Milwaukee sawzall for years, it was from the 1960s, but changed it out for Mikita because of the weight issue. No reason to use a 20 lb saw opposed to the new light 7 lbs saws of today.
