Klein Tools 31711 Rasping Jab Saw with Fixed Blade

The Klein Tools 31711 is a fixed blade rasping jab saw built to give electricians, contractors, and remodeling professionals a fast, straightforward way to cut openings by hand. Its rasping tooth pattern and pointed tip let the blade bite directly into drywall, paneling, plywood, and similar materials without a pre-drilled starter hole, while the fixed blade construction keeps the tool simple, rigid, and dependable for repeated use on the jobsite. As a dedicated jab saw, the 31711 is sized for close-quarters cutting tasks such as opening up wall cavities for electrical boxes, switches, and outlets.

Key Features

• Fixed Blade Construction: The 31711 features a fixed blade design that delivers consistent rigidity and control, with no adjustable or removable components to loosen or shift during use.
• Rasping Tooth Pattern: Aggressive rasping teeth are arranged to cut on both the push and pull stroke, allowing the blade to bite quickly into drywall, plaster, paneling, and other soft building materials.
• Pointed Jab-Saw Tip: A sharpened point lets the blade be jabbed straight into the material to start a cutout, eliminating the need for a pilot hole drilled ahead of time.
• Compact Jab Saw Format: The jab saw profile keeps the tool maneuverable for tight cutouts, such as boxing in electrical devices or trimming openings in finished walls.
• Purpose-Built for Trade Work: Designed as a fixed blade jab saw for fast, on-the-job cutouts, making it a practical addition to an electrician's or contractor's hand tool kit.
