Wright Saw

[shortwing]

I have recently donated a Write Saw to a museum in Southampton Ontario. Could any one give me a location to find the history behind this reciprocating Saw.

The original company no longer exists. I have had it for 26 years but know little about its original use and why it was dropped from production -- other than it was likely over-shadowed by the chain saw.

I appreciate any help

Hey there Shortwing!

Here is a link to their lineup of bladesaws, I believe they were mostly used for post and beam construction.

If those things are anything like Sawzalls, I'll bet they'd rip your arms from your sockets.
