EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. — LENOX, inventor of the bi-metal reciprocating
saw blade and a leading manufacturer of premium power tool accessories,
hand tools and band saw blades, announces the launch of LENOX Gold
Reciprocating Saw Blades, an innovative new line of engineered bi-metal
blades with a unique coating. The LENOX Gold reciprocating saw blade’s
new patented tooth design and specially formulated coating work together
to make it the longest lasting reciprocating saw blade ever and the
fastest cutting blade on the market. These advances in tooth technology
and coatings promise increased productivity and a drastically lower cost
per cut for electricians, plumbers and anyone who uses recip blades on
the job.
The LENOX Gold reciprocating saw blade lasts longer and cuts faster than
any other blade available thanks in part to the unique TiN-based coating
along its edge.
“Hard coatings have been widely used in the drilling industry for many
years,” said Nick Morrisroe, LENOX director of marketing, power tool
accessories. “Over time these coatings have been improved through the
use of exotic metals and special formulations to produce better results
in a given application. LENOX has harnessed this technology to improve
the wear resistance of reciprocating saw blades.”
This improvement, coupled with the improved tooth form geometry and
optimized blade geometry, creates a blade that cuts faster over the life
of the blade. Independent testing has shown that LENOX Gold recip blades
last more than twice as long as competitive blades. In fact, the blades
were recently put to the ultimate test by Lee “HACKMAN” Breton of TEAM
HACKMAN®, a team of master cutters who travel the world demonstrating
the strength of LENOX blades by cutting cars in half. Breton
successfully cut three cars in half with a single LENOX Gold
reciprocating blade.
“LENOX Gold is the direct result of our commitment to simplifying our
customers’ jobs by providing them with the longest lasting, most
cost-effective blades available anywhere,” said
Morrisroe. “Gold offers a level of performance that surpasses every
other recip blade on the market — so much so that jobsite productivity
is improved. Cutting goes faster, blades won’t have to be replaced as
often, and as a result, users won’t have to carry as many replacement
blades with them when they’re on the jobsite. There is no reciprocating
saw blade on the market that comes close to matching the life,
durability, speed or value of LENOX Gold.”
Wood cutting, metal cutting, LAZER™ heavy metal cutting and demolition
reciprocating saw blades are currently available in the LENOX Gold range
in varying sizes and pitches (TPI) at electrical, plumbing, and general
construction distributors nationwide.
