Chicago Pneumatic 8941079000 Air Reciprocating Saw

Product Description

The CHICAGO PNEUMATIC 8941079000 is a pneumatic reciprocating saw built for cutting tasks in mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, and general trade work. It operates at 10,000 strokes per minute with a 3/8 inch (9.53 mm) stroke length, delivering fast, controlled cuts through pipe, conduit, sheet metal, and similar materials. The tool requires a 3/8 inch air inlet and consumes 5.5 SCFM at 90 psi (6.2 bar) operating pressure. Overall length is 8.5 inches. Weighing 4 pounds, it is compact enough for confined spaces. Three replacement blades are included in the package: one 18-tooth, one 28-tooth, and one 32-tooth blade.

This air reciprocating saw is suited for residential and light commercial trade applications where a compressed air supply is available. Typical use scenarios include cutting copper or PVC pipe, trimming conduit runs, removing rusted fasteners, and general demolition cuts during service calls. The ergonomic handle design and robust housing make it practical for extended use in tight mechanical rooms, crawl spaces, and overhead installations. The adjustable guard guide adds control during precision cuts. It ships as a single unit with three blades, making it ready to deploy from the bag on arrival.

Installation Notes

Installation and blade changes should be performed with the air supply disconnected and all pressure bled from the line. A licensed or experienced tradesperson should match the correct blade tooth count to the material being cut before beginning work. Ensure the air compressor output meets the minimum CFM and pressure requirements to maintain consistent tool performance. Follow applicable OSHA safety standards for pneumatic tool operation, including eye and hand protection.
