Forearm mount for reciprocating saws. (Commonly known as sawzalls)

摘要

The purpose of the “Forearm Mount” is to allow the reciprocating saw, or sawzall, to be used with one hand. “The Forearm Mount” transfers the weight of the saw to the operators' whole arm so support and thus control of the saw becomes a function of the hand, wrist, elbow and shoulder. The sawzall becomes an extension of the operators' whole arm. In many situations “The Forearm Mount” provides superior control of the saw, which allows for more accurate cutting and greater safety. Safely controlling the sawzall with one hand while freeing the other hand to hold on to a ladder or other support when working overhead or to steady a work piece like PVC pipe or other things that are not secure is the purpose of the invention. The one armed overhead cutting capability of “The Forearm Mount” allows the operator to move to one side and avoid getting the sawdust in the face.
