Take on quick-cut tasks with the STANLEY FatMax 4 in. High Carbon Steel Jab Saw with 8 TPI. Designed for accuracy in tight spaces, this jab saw excels at cutting wood, drywall, and plastic where space is scarce and speed matters.
At the heart is a 4-inch blade crafted from high carbon steel, delivering edge retention that keeps slicing through materials without the need for frequent resharpening. The 8 teeth per inch strike a balance between aggressive cutting and clean edges, ideal for plunge cuts and notched work in walls or trim.
The FatMax lineage is built for tough job sites. The handle combines plastic and rubber to give you a confident, slip-resistant grip, even when your hands are dusty or sweaty. The compact profile makes it easy to anchor the blade and keep your cuts precise when you're working overhead, in corners, or through openings for outlets and pipes.
