I spent the better part of a year trying to come up with a substitute for a
Biax. The Sawzall would be perfect except for it's fixed stroke which is
too long. Even the $99 version has a 7/8" stroke. I still want to conjure
up a variable stroke (a must!) attachment for the Sawzall but unless I fry
the Biax its a low priority.
