someone suggest me a hand tool
Guy's suggest me a hand tool,
so, I've noticed I am getting so outta breath it's not funny (since the STEMI) so any form of exertion means a 2 minute job takes 20 minutes and leaves me light headed and breathless.... So I wanna (for now and also for the future) want something it cut wood I have taken some drawers out of a chest and wanna dismantle them, they look glued and pinned and will try a hammer and pry tool but don't wanna break them I have an electric Jigsaw, but guessing I want some kinda electric hacksaw I want to be able to slice up the drawers, but also do a variety of wood thicknes's evn possibly, plastic, metal or dry wall. The wood is more important txs in advance |

What are you trying to do with these drawers after you dismantle them? You can use a reciprocating saw like the one you show above to cut through the glue and brad nails that are holding everything together but you'll make a mess of it. The drawers wont go back together again.

I don't want them, I'm going to store them in the garage flat back style and use them in projects as scrap.
The chest of drawers I'm using as a DJ table and I'm using the internals as storage, I've no space to store the 6 drawers and they will never be used again The chest is very old and we got it off the street a few years back Quote:

A cardiac rehab program, my friend, led by a physical therapist who has a focus on exercise rehabilitation. Just like doing a course of PT after a joint replacement.

Oh boy that was a big event. At 36% EF now though you should be more comfortable doing those tasks so good chance there’s some improvements, either physically or medically via medication, to be had. You’ve come a long way, for sure. 10% ef is a chore to come back from, well done coming this far! |

If you are going to use this thing a couple times a year for light duty stuff, maybe check out Harbor Freight tools. You can pick up a corded sawzall for $29.99. I wouldn't buy their cordless stuff out of fear that the batteries or their charger would crap out but corded tools are pretty simple and bulletproof. it wont be the greatest of tools but heck, for $29 if it does what you need to, who cares. |

txs for the confidence, tbh I was literally 5 min's for death, well maybe not 5mins but minutes, ambulance said if OH had not called 911 I'd be dead, thought it was heart burn, but the tingles in my arm, neck pains and my pale color told the paramedics and the 911 it wasn't,
They rushed me straight to one of the hospitals who has an amazing cardiac unit and cath lab, after 1 stent they took me out, the meds the gave me made me bleed out, went back into ER 2 weeks later for 2nd, STEMI, Cardimyopathy, Cardiogenic shock, Serious Heart failure I was in hospital for a month in CCU, they wanted to do a heart transplant, but no donor so said bridge to transplant by a mechanical heart, I said no, they said, you've probably got 6 months, I still said no, the best drugs money could buy took me up to 25%, They still wanted to implant an ICD, I said no, more drugs and 2 MUGA's later I was at 36%, out of the woods, BUT... I am feeling it , maybe the cardiac rehab is a good idea. I literally set about writing my will in hospital and settings things straight, a lot of folks made sure I didn't give up, my church were praying for me, pastor was on the phone pretty much every night, Some damn expensive Drugs, great hospital, and God. Also realsing I hadn't done the important things, when I got out, I baptised my daughter at home (Covid) so now, I can sleep at night Quote:

great idea, however, no HF here in Canada, we have similar stores though
HD, Lowes, Rona, Princess Auto., but yup get the point, I do like to spend money, I find if you cheap out, it costs you more, I mean I have the money so 100 bucks for a tool is within my budget, Be nice to have something to cut a tree branch, some dry wall etc Quote:

For the money,
Something like this may be a better option: https://www.homedepot.com/p/RYOBI-ON...00K2/317987591 If there is, or could be, metal in the wood,,, a bi-metal blade is what you want to use. It will cut wood slower but won't dull if it hits a nail. A wood blade will not survive a nail attack. |

Depending on the thickness of the material, you also might want to consider an oscillating multi tool. I just got one and it's already come in real handy with cutting drywall and a CPVC water pipe for a water valve repair I had to do.

For tools, I only buy the Rigid ones, due to the Lifetime Service Agreement, which includes free batteries. I'm still rocking an original drill when Rigid battery tools came out in 2003, I've had the batteries replaced 3x on that one, and 2x each on two impact drivers.
