Background

The Hilti Reciprocating Saw WSR 900-PE is designed for various tradespeople to cut several materials such as metal, plastic, and wood. Many different blades of different sizes can be inserted into the Hilti WSR 900-PE, which will move back and forth to cut the material. The Hilti WSR 900-PE is known for its vibration absorption.

The Hilti brand was originally founded in Schaan, Liechtenstein, but now has production facilities around the globe including in Mexico, Austria, Germany, China, and Hungary. Today the Hilti Reciprocating Saw WSR 900-PE can be purchased for around $150.

The Hilti WSR 900-PE has no manufacturer recalls. It is reported that the Hilti WSR 900-PE is hard to get into tight spaces because of the apparent bulkiness, however, these reports are few and far between. The main malfunction is the motor blowing out due to old age.

The Hilti Reciprocating Saw WSR 900-PE is part of the Hilti brand alongside other power tools such as rotary hammers, grinders, and impact drivers. The Hilti WSR 900-PE was the first reciprocating saw manufactured by Hilti, along with the cordless version, the Hilti 650-A. The cordless version is more mobile, but not as powerful as the WSR 900-PE. The reciprocating saw that came after the Hilti WSR 900-PE was the Hilti WSR 1000. The WSR 1000 had a faster stroke rate, rated input, and a longer stroke length.

Identification

The Hilti WSR 900-PE Reciprocating Saw is black and red, as are all Hilti products. There is a handle to grip at the back end and a trigger for operation. The tip of the device has a clamp for securing the blade. Unlike most reciprocating saws, the Hilti WSR 900-PE has a vertical motor as opposed to the usual horizontal motor, giving it a "gun shape". The Hilti logo is located on the side and middle of the reciprocating saw with the model number, WSR 900-PE, right under the logo.
