SKILSAWs

SKILSAW is a well-known American manufacturer of power tools, particularly recognized for its line of reciprocating saws, commonly referred to as "SKILSAWs." Founded in 1920 by Albert J. Kahn in Chicago, Illinois, the company initially specialized in metalworking machinery before expanding into power tools in the mid-20th century. The brand gained prominence in the 1950s with the introduction of its first reciprocating saw, which became a staple in both professional and home workshops.

SKILSAW tools are designed for cutting a variety of materials, including wood, metal, plastic, and composite materials, making them versatile for tasks such as demolition, construction, and DIY projects. The company’s reciprocating saws operate using a push-pull motion, allowing for efficient cutting through dense or stubborn materials. SKILSAW tools are widely used by contractors, carpenters, and hobbyists due to their durability, precision, and ease of use.

Over the years, SKILSAW has expanded its product line to include other power tools such as circular saws, jigsaws, and miter saws, solidifying its reputation as a leader in the power tool industry. The brand is owned by the German company Einhell, which acquired SKILSAW in 2017. Despite this change in ownership, SKILSAW continues to operate independently, maintaining its focus on innovation and quality.

SKILSAW tools are often praised for their ergonomic designs, powerful motors, and reliable performance, making them a preferred choice for professionals and enthusiasts alike. The brand’s commitment to craftsmanship and engineering has contributed to its enduring popularity in the global market.
