Klein Tools 31737 Folding Jab Saw – Lockback 180°/125° with Tether Hole

Overview

The Klein Tools 31737 Folding Jab Saw blends portable convenience with robust cutting power. Its carbon steel blade offers fixed-blade performance while folding neatly into the ergonomic handle, keeping your tool pouch safe and snag-free on the job site. The blade locks in two handy positions—180° for full-extension cuts and 125° for tighter spots—so you can tackle drywall, plaster, and similar materials with confidence.

Smart, user-friendly design

This jab saw is built for real-world use. The folding mechanism protects the blade when not in use and minimizes puncture risk in bags or pouches. A cushioned, non-slip grip reduces fatigue during longer cuts, and the lanyard hole provides tethering options for higher-risk environments or climbs.

• Folding carbon steel blade combines fixed-blade strength with compact carry.
• Triple-ground teeth enable fast cutting in both directions.
• Lockback secures at 125° and 180° for flexible reach and stability.
• Folded form prevents piercing through tool pouches and bags.
• Cushioned, non-slip handle enhances palm comfort.
• Lanyard hole supports tethering for added security on site.

Real-world use cases

Professional tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts will appreciate how this saw adapts to common drywall tasks. Whether making plunge cuts, trimming around outlets, or beveling seams, the two lock angles facilitate clean, controlled cuts without removing the blade from the work area. The durable blade stands up to repeated use, while the compact form minimizes toolbox clutter.

• Drywall and plaster cutting around fixtures or in tight corners.
• Bevels, plunge cuts, and guided cuts in confined spaces.
• Safe carrying in bags or tool pouches thanks to blade-fold protection.
• Light demolition or remodeling tasks where quick, portable cuts help speed up the job.
