New tools have never been opened and have never been used. These are brand new tools.
A Reconditioned Grade A
Grade A Tools are restored or rebuilt to factory specifications then fully tested and inspected to make sure they operate properly and safely. Grade A tools have a cosmetic condition of very good to excellent, having no more than light scratches or other minor blemishes.
C Reconditioned Grade C
Grade C Tools are restored or rebuilt to factory specifications then fully tested and inspected to make sure they operate properly and safely. Grade C tools will have pronounced cosmetic imperfections.
Hitachi's CR13VBY 12 Amp reciprocating saw features a patented technology called UVP (User Vibration Protection). The adverse health effects to a user from vibration produced by power tools is a hot issue being addressed at this time. Hitachi's UVP technology reduces the overall vibration produced by the motor and therefore drastically lessens the vibration transfer to the user of the tool. A counterweight mechanism reduces full-load triaxial vibration by over 65%. A swing cutting mechanism located near the blade lessens the "rebound" effect that is normally created from a traditional orbital action cut. In addition to less vibration, the CR13VBY produces a faster cut in steel and wood as compared to competitive models.
User Vibration Protection (UVP) technology incorporates a counterweight mechanism that reduces full-load tri-axial vibration by over 65% significantly reducing vibration transfer to the user
12Amp motor provides aggressive power thanks to 1370 Watts, resulting in a faster cutting speed and higher efficiency on the job
Variable speed dial and trigger allow the user to adjust the cutting speed optimally for the application for less waste and more control
2 mode cutting mechanism- straight mode and "swing" mode that produce significantly less rebound effect as compared to traditional orbital action for a more efficient cut in wood materials
Tool-less blade change with a simple press of a lever for quick replacements
Stroke length of 1-1/4" at 0-3,000 SPM resulting in rapid cutting performance
Constructed with a triple seal design to protect from dust and debris generated during use- also protects from water waste when cutting into pipes
Durable front cover is made from double molded elastomer and plastic to protect from heat and prevent slippage
Ergonomic shape and slip/heat resistant grip are easier to handle and make it easy to use all day
