Nov 27, 2016 Sears Sable Saw by: Kenny McAfee I came across one myself just over Thanksgiving week...while trying to see what year and other info I could about it I came across this site. I remodel houses and custome build furniture and boxes for every need... I had to replace my tools that I had and while doing so I got the same saw. I wanted to see if anyone is interested in purchasing it,cord has small fractures but runs great. I am not sure where to start on pricing.. make an offer and we will go from there. Thank you Kenny

Feb 14, 2016 THE WIDOWMAKER by: Anonymous As my Dad was clearing out his tool collection in his aging years, I asked him if I could have the sabre saw. It had sentimental value since I had often used it making various projects (gokarts,tree forts, and such) as a kid and "wasting all my wood" as my father would say. I continued to use it for many years despite the fact that the body of this thing would heat up to an ungodly temperature after extended use, requiring me to wrap a damp cloth around my hand to prevent burns. I finally broke down and bought a modern version and couldn't believe how comfortable cutting would actually was. I am passing my Sears Sabre Saw on to my nephew in hopes that in future years he looks back on this tool (and his blisters) as the watershed event that defined his rite of passage into manhood.

Nov 14, 2014 Old Sabre Saw by: R. Erp Just bought mine at a estate sale for 4.00 $, would like to know how old it is, Serial No. 5718. I work in a prison and I showed it to our wood working instructor and he has never seen anything like it.

Jul 23, 2014 happy person ! by: pfrancis Bought it at a yard sale. I think that it's a lot better than the other sabre saw that I have. The sabre saw is older than me ,but works very well. I wouldn't get rid of it for anything in the world. When something happens to me, I'll pass it on to my step son.
