Engineering Details That Set IR Apart
Ingersoll Rand doesn't just build powerful air saws — they engineer critical safety and longevity features into every model. These saws contain a unique system that prevents accidental throttle operation by utilizing a spring-loaded latch that resets each time the lever is released. With an inline configuration, they allow for easier access in tight spaces, so even the toughest jobs can get done.
Blade life and cutting efficiency are equally considered. Ingersoll Rand's reciprocating saw blades employ advanced bi-metal technology that bonds high-speed steel to both edges of the backing material, enlarging blade contact area by 170%, while a new tooth profile generates smaller, more efficient chips — minimizing frictional heat during cutting and enhancing blade performance.
Air-powered reciprocating saws make straight and curved cuts in sheet metal, plastic, and other materials, and are smaller and lighter than corded or cordless saws so they can access smaller spaces and be operated with one hand. This combination of compact form and pneumatic power is the hallmark of every IR air saw in the lineup.
