Sawzall
Reciprocating power tool
Sawzall is a brand name for a reciprocating saw made by Milwaukee Tool, though the term has become genericized to refer to any powerful handheld saw with a blade that moves rapidly back and forth.
These tools cut through wood, metal, plastic, and drywall, making them essential for demolition work and rough carpentry.
We used the Sawzall to cut through the old plumbing.
The name plays on "saws all," reflecting the tool's versatility.
