Works really well for cutting thin metals (autobody) in tight areas. An extra benefit is that it’s quick and easy to modify standard hacksaw blades to use in this tool. Get a swivel air fitting for it to make it more useful…

Got this for doing some auto restoration work, duh. BUT Wait there's more. Turns out it is really handy when you just need to zip something off like metal-plastic-wood. The uses are endless, anything you need a small saw for this one rocks! Blade has lasted through way more metal sheet trimming than I thought was possible and still was used for cutting some pulleys off of an old junk engine we couldn't get to the bolts, blew threw 3/8" steel like it was butter and this was the proverbial hot knife.I'm really impressed with just how handy it has become for just about anything we need to trim or quickly cut off as long as the blade can span the material it seems to cut it all. Haven't tried it on thick stainless yet but mild steel, aluminum, wood, plastic's all are easy to cut and the tool just seems to run. We do keep it well oiled as with any phenumatic tool.For the price even if it breaks tomorrow I'd buy another one of these, it's that good. But I expect it to last a long time. Quality is very good, fit and finish is very good.Get one you probably won't regret it. And you will probably find 100's of uses for it you didn't think of before you have one.

I use this thing for cutting holes for buttons and controls in dash, door and interior panels. Works great and feels like a solid tool. Im liking Astro stuff more and more, especially after paying snap on and mac tool prices all my life.

Started to buy the Ingersol Rand 429G low vibration again to replace my broke one, but wanted to try the semi look alike probably normal vibrating Astro version. Ingersoll Rand definitely feels smoother/less vibration on the hands than the Astro. 35-40% more vibration than my old 429G ingersoll file saw. I fabricate signs for big chain stores, banks,gas stations,hotels,etc and this Astro tool has did me well with such jobs trimming corners and fine cutting raised 1” edges lips. 90% of my work is aluminum 1/8”-1/4” thick angle and same thickness in tubing so it works well. To some of the comments about the blades, yes they are not great and dull fast, but good enough for thin small projects. Trying to avoid Amazon denying my review…👉🏻I use either “red brand/red blades” at work since I can get them at discount. Yes the red blade brands will work in this Astro tool. Keeping a film of tool grease on the blades will extend life AND keep aluminum from melting between teeth. Pics above show the tool grease I use and the lip edges (pic is of a 1ft long lip & 1/8” thick). Air file saw allows me knock the lip height down with very little dust so little time is needed on the grinder/sander and avoiding more of a mess to breathe and be covered in. This Astro version works 85% as good as the Ingersoll and has lasted 5 months now with pretty moderate use. I’m liking this tool’s test run so far and would buy again, but still liked my low vibration Ingersoll due to my usage of an air file at my job. If your buying this tool for small jobs or carving shapes for house projects, it’s more than capable of such, or at least the one I purchased is. Don’t over tighten the two side allen screws that hold the blade and just firm them up decent.

Have used it on mild steel , very precise. Need coarse blades for aluminum sheets, less than 18 TPI. Good value so far.

Ran this with a 2.0 hp compressor with a 10 gallon tank. I got this saw to cut sheet metal for auto restoration, but the first job I used this on was cutting the tubular frame on a set of bucket seats for custom mounting.The saw cut through the double wall steel tubing without much problem. It didn't stall out, and absolutely sips air. The supplies blades cut cleanly and fairly quickly through this steel and stayed sharp through multiple cuts. The tool doesn't vibrate as much as some others, so I was able to use it without discomfort. The blade guard is adjustable, and the blades are nice and thin.I can't speak to the tool's durability, as I've only used it once, but it is a great value for the casual user. If you need one, you could do a lot worse than this one.

Used this to cut fenders and floor pans in my project car. Cuts VERY fast, and clean. Doesnt shake the hell out of the metal like a sawzall would and distort body panels, and doesnt bubble surrounding paint like a grinder would. Use a good air compressor and you'll be laughing.Order a 32tpi blade pack, it makes the cuts EVEN better. Able to to tight turns/corners with ease.Nothing bad to say about this, it worked awesome for my application. Just dont expect it to cut 1/8" or larger plate steel without chewing through blades. This is for sheet metal and automotive bodys, not frames/thick metal.

Saw this tool listed with good reviews and noted that it would be perfect for some projects I have "in the works." Therefore, I had to have one. Nicely made and with 5+1 blades and two hex wrenches included, you need only a hose fitting, a few drops of air tool oil and you are ready to go. The wrenches allow blade changes and blade guard adjustment. As with many air tools, the operating lever is pretty much either off or on. After a few minutes cutting, I was used to it.As to its purpose, there are jobs in which a handsaw is too bulky, clumsy, or cannot start a hole on an inside cut. By the same measure, a jigsaw may not be able to access the cut or the material is too heavily contoured. This mini-Sawzall solves that. I wondered about the 1/4" stroke but the bi-metal blades that are included pretty decent and cut the appropriate material quickly. Curves are easily cut. Sometimes too easily for my hands. The blade flexes and one must watch any precision cut closely and progress slowly. Vehicle exhaust tubing, excess material or other non-precision cuts go very quickly. The exhaust collar may be rotated to direct the air and shavings away from you.The only thing I wanted was a blade guide which would control the side-to-side flex. I pondered for a bit and found that the "straw" from inside an aerosol brake cleaner can fit nicely over the blade guard. With a little hair dryer heat and twisting, the 1" polyethylene straw sections slid into place on the guard, straddling the blade. But their thickness left too much gap. So, I cut two 1" sections of vacuum tubing and slid them over the straws. Now, the blade still has room to flex, but is more controllable as you cut.Overall, a very handy, well-made-in-Taiwan air tool that should last a good long time.
