Stanley FatMax 6-Inch Jab Saw and Scabbard, Model 2-20-556

The Stanley FatMax is a 6-inch jab saw, a specialised hand tool designed for making precise cuts in materials like plasterboard, wood, and plastic. It is supplied with a protective scabbard for safe storage and transport. The saw's primary function is to pierce and cut through sheet materials quickly and cleanly, making it a staple for construction, renovation, and DIY projects where accurate internal cuts or notches are required. The tool's key feature is its hardened and tempered bi-metal blade, which offers enhanced durability and a long service life. It incorporates SharpTooth technology, meaning the teeth are designed to cut efficiently on both the push and pull stroke, which can significantly improve cutting speed. The aggressive triple-bevelled tooth design (7 teeth per inch) ensures a fast, clean cut. The sharpened tip allows the user to puncture plasterboard easily to start a cut without needing a separate tool. For user comfort and control, the handle is moulded from a combination of high-impact plastic and soft-touch inserts, with a large end pad to facilitate pushing and twisting the blade through material. This jab saw is best suited for tradespeople such as carpenters, plasterers, and electricians, as well as serious DIY enthusiasts. Its compact 355mm overall length makes it easy to manoeuvre in tight spaces, such as between wall studs or when installing electrical boxes. The included scabbard protects the blade when not in use and makes it safe to carry in a tool belt or bag. It is a practical, single-purpose tool that excels at the specific task of making plunge cuts and intricate shapes in drywall and other soft building materials.
