Well, I got my package from Monotaro today, and instead of having the Bosch saw, I got this one.........
I guess put the wrong one in the shopping cart and hit the "BUY NOW" button
Now I have to decide if I'm going to send it back and get the Bosch
Hitachi
3.3 Kg (7.25 lbs)
Amps 10.6
Watts 1010
Cord 2.5m (8.2')
Speed 0-2800
Max Cut
Max Cut
Wood 130cm (5.11")
Pipe 130mm (5.1")
Steel 19mm (0.75")
Stroke 29mm (1.14")
MSRP 35,000 yen ($333)
Street Price 22,500 yen ($214)
Variable speed via a dial on the handle, and the trigger
Soft grip handles
Tool free quick change blade change
Blade can be used installed upside down
Improved Triple Seals, they say it is just about waterproof
Bosch
3.4 Kg (7.25 lbs)
Amps
Watts 900
Cord 4m (13.1')
Speed 0-2700
Max Cut
Wood 250mm (9.8") <<
Pipe 130mm (5.1")
Steel 20mm (0.78")
Stroke 28mm (1.1")
MSRP 29,800 yen ($284)
Street Price 22,500 yen ($214)
Head of the tool rotates 360 degrees
Soft grip handles
Tool free quick change blade change
On paper the two tools look very much the same. the versatility of the rotating head looks like a nice feature, but is it really needed, and is it just something that will break
The triple seal, near waterproof is attractive on the Hitachi, but again, is this a needed option
I guess it will come down to how painful it will be to return the Hitachi, if they want money for the shipping etc.......
Decisions...........
