Reciprocating saw

If you translate it to english from the language of heroes and glory it becomes "thief saw"

>>1241328
>harbor freight

i call it garbage

>>1241361
I always thought it was

saws-all

>>1241372
>bobcat
I work with a Bobcat retailer. They correct you if you call them that. They are a skid-steer. Probably because they have a bunch of other stuff that is branded Bobcat these days.

bayonette saw

>>1241376
bullshit. Nobody says "can you hand me the reciprocating saw." Everyone call it a saws-all. 4 fewer syllables and everyone knows what you're talking about.

>>1241443
Too many big words, eh? I can understand it. Your type can't be bothered to spell "Rigid" correctly so no one expects you to call a tool by its proper name.

>>1241443
Sorry gringo. Your kind is losing in the poll.

>>1241372
Kleenex. Thermos. Tarmac. Dumpster. Polaroid photo. Bubbler. Channel locks.

>>1241443
We call it recipro here for short, but it's the other side of the Atlantic.

wut?

>>1241443
I just tell them to hand me a saw. If they don't know which one I need then they haven't been paying attention and shouldn't be touching my tools anyways. Back to carrying tool boxes and materials for them.

>>1241328
Caladora

>>1241443
True but i call ot a reciprocating saw anyway purely because it annoys people. I also call Dremels 'rotary tools', skilsaws 'circular saws', and so on.

>>1241328
It's a jiggle saw

>>1241328

I don't know, but they make quick work of the 8 year olds in the basement of my pizza joint.

>Channel locks.

One of those times you want the real McCoy, though. Channel-Lock brand channel locks are fucking perfect.

>>1241443
We call them recip saws

>>1241621
>tripfag shilling
That's how you get paid right?

>>1241623

Channel-Lock® does not engage in shilling practices. I promise, this is a totally natural suggestion.

>>1241628
Perhaps the issue is the tripfagging. If you look around, there really aren't any on this board. Not part of our culture. Not well received here.

>>1241621
They're good, but if they were perfect, there wouldn't be a better version.

>>1241630
>If you look around, there really aren't any on this board. Not part of our culture. Not well received here.

I love this.

I actually have a CSS script that someone on /g/ gave me to hide trips and names. they all show up as "anonymous" so I don't get triggered.

>>1241621
Slip joint pliers are trash

>>1241645

We didn't fight the Nazis to use their tools. Absolutely disgusting.

>>1241630

I know, but I'm a crossboarding tripshitter. I also like good tools. Sorry.

>>1241674

Categorically wrong and eat shit.

>>1241680

>>1241682

People who drive nice cars don't have to do their own work.

>>1241684
Its a catch22 isnt it, because they are the only ones who can afford nice tools and dont have to settle for channel locks

>>1241680
>thinks the nazis were the bad guys
good goy

>>1241685
>settle

sure thing.

>>1241686

Merely joking. Knipex makes good tools, I just don't have any yet.

We call angle grinders "flex" in germany (i think flex was the inventor of angle grinders). Also there's the verb "kärchern" for pressure washing.

>>1241689
A German company called Ackermann + Schmitt claim to have invented "angle grinders" in 1954. They are now part of FLEX. The tools themselves are no different than the standard angle sanders and polishers that had been available long before that. They basically took an angle sander, put a grinding disc in it and attached a guard. See attached. It is a page from B&D's 1949 catalog. I have one of these exact tools. I used it for grinding all the time.

>>1241328
Germanfag here.
We call ist Reziproksäge (Reciprocating saw) or Tigersäge (Tiger saw).
Sometimes Säbelsäge. (Saber saw)

Also, i own a 550 € Würth one, made by BOSCH blue. Your cheapo fuck is like your Country: build with cheap materials, blown away from any heavy wind. (irma)

>>1241510
Aufm' Bau wo ich gearbeitet habe nennen das alle Säbeltieger.

>>1241718
>or Tigersäge (Tiger saw).

Not surprising, thats a genericized term just like calling it a Sawzall. Porter Cable made a really decent one under the name Tiger Saw.

Also inset a joke about german patriotism and scat porn.

>>1241328
I know the generic term is reciprocating saw and I've used that in conversation., but I grew up calling it a Sawzall. My dad had a Milwaukee, still works after like 30 years of use, I have the cheap harbor freight OP version because I hardly ever use it.

>>1241328
A yankety-slice!

>>1241587

I do this because I didn't grow up or work around people using the branded terminology. I learned from books and the internet, where a given tool is almost always referred to by its actual name.

>>1241372
vise grips?

>>1241876
You mean locking pliers?

>>1241881
Hey Mike pass me the grip-lock pliers, I need to change this heated blade on my reciprocating saw.

>>1241645
>Its another knipexfag overspending on tools that he barely even uses episode

>>1241886
>willing to pay $17 for channellocks
>unwilling to pay $25 for objectively superior Knipex

>>1241912
What kind of fucked up currency do you have where new channellocks are $17?

>>1241915
Where exactly are you going to get them cheaper?
They dont ever go on sale, standard 10" pair on amazon right now is $14.88 + tax

Hop into a menards right now and the 10" Cobras are on sale for $22.00 + tax.

The idea that Knipex are some unobtainable and ultra expensive tools is fucking stupid.

I've heard em called sabre saw more than anything .

>>1241680
>didn't fight the Nazis to use their tools
Might want to look up where most modern technology originated from then.

There are dozens of trip fags and a handful of autists that get triggered by people keeping track of what they posted.

>>1241328
My reciprocating saw is a makita and its the only makita i have, so i say The Makita

>>1242183
I also do this. Especially with my sanders as each sander i own is a different brand.

>get the thundergun/hammergun/dustgun and make some thunderstud holes
>use that spark wheel and slice some square pipe, 10 and three quarters

>>1242949
Spelled wrong, but you may be the only American on the board that has ever been to a jobsite. I have never heard a soul call that a reciprocating saw IRL. It is either a "Sawzall" or a "demo saw."
