Milwaukee Tool 48-22-0307 Folding Jab Saw

Yes. The 48-22-0307 folding jab saw accepts all 6 inch SAWZALL blades, and the blade change is a quick-release style, so you can swap between a drywall blade and a wood or metal reciprocating blade in the same handle. That means the handle doubles as a manual holder for blades you already stock on the truck.

That's what it's built for. The 48-22-0307 has a large piercing tip and fleam ground teeth, so you punch it straight into the board and cut. Fleam ground teeth are what give the cleaner edge on gypsum instead of tearing the paper face.

No exposed blade to worry about. The blade folds into the handle on the 48-22-0307, so it stores flat in a pouch or bucket without a sheath and without catching on other tools.

Yes. The 48-22-0307 has a tether ready lanyard hole in the handle, so it can be tied off for elevated work on scaffolds, lifts, or ladders where a dropped tool is a real hazard. That matters on commercial jobs with a drop prevention policy.

For a handful of box cut-outs, patch work, or a service call, the 48-22-0307 folding jab saw is the faster pick: no cord, no dust cloud, and you can plunge and cut right at the box. A rotary cut-out tool makes more sense when you are hanging board volume all day and cutting dozens of openings. Since this handle takes any 6 inch SAWZALL blade, it also covers occasional manual cuts in wood or other material without carrying a second saw.

Order it as Milwaukee 48-22-0307. That is the manufacturer part number for the folding jab saw, and there is a single configuration, so there is no length, blade, or finish option to specify on the order.

The 48-22-0307 ships as a complete jab saw with its blade in the folding handle, ready to cut drywall out of the package. If you want it to do double duty, stock a few spare 6 inch SAWZALL blades in whatever tooth pattern suits the material, since the handle accepts all of them.
