Hilti WSR 1000 Offers Quality and Productivity In a Slim, Lightweight Package

For Immediate Release:

TULSA, Okla. - February 25, 2008 - Delivering high productivity with less weight, the Hilti WSR 1000 Reciprocating Saw offers quality and productivity in a slim, lightweight package.

Hilti WSR 1000 Reciprocating Saw

Able to fit in hard to reach areas, the Hilti WSR 1000 is ideal for applications such as creating openings in walls or floors; cutting pipe, strut, threaded rod and bracing; making openings for electrical boxes; and cutting framework or formwork.

With a powerful 1,000 watt motor and a 1 1/8-inch stroke length, the WSR 1000 cuts quickly through tough materials and features a more efficient cutting action for less wear on the machine. A Constant Run switch also is provided for continuous cutting to help reduce user fatigue, which results from holding the trigger for long periods of time.

To ensure maximum convenience, the "Kwik Click" chuck makes blade changes quick and easy without the use of additional tools. The WSR 1000 is also equipped with rubber cladding for solid gripping of the tool.

Under Hilti Lifetime Service, if repairs are ever needed on the Hilti WSR 1000, it will be serviced quickly and reliably with no additional cost for one year. During the lifetime repair cost limit, which begins after the one-year no cost period, the tool will have a maximum repair cost of no greater than 30 percent of a new tool's list price. Once the tool is repaired, it receives an additional six months of no cost service. The lifetime manufacturer's warranty covers the tool against manufacturer defects for the life of the tool.*
