Gas-Powered Shop Tools
 |
Both tools have built-in 2 cycle, air cooled engines for go-anywhere portability without having to worry about batteries or electricity.
The variable speed Piston Drill is no heavier or larger than a conventional 1/2-in, electric drill, yet does the same job on its own power. And, unlike an electric motor which develops full torque when the drill stalls, the Piston Drill develops no torque. It weighs 12 lbs. and is available with an angle-drive adapter for right-angle
drilling. The gas tank is built right into the combination protective ring, carrying and push handle.
Weight of the Super Saw is also 12 lbs. It reportedly takes less fuel to operate for the duration of a cut than it does to run a generator to provide power for an electric saw. Makes up to 150 cuts through a 2 by 4 on a tank of fuel. Blade diameter is 7 1/4 in.
