The MBS 18LTX 2.5 Band Saw comes with a standard “safety break” that can stop the blade in under a second. It also has a full blade guard, protecting the user from blade slippage. The saw has a 21⁄2-in. cutting capacity and is well suited for cutting small-diameter metal and plastic pipe, conduit and threaded rod. Electronic controls in the battery pack communicate with the tool to extend run times and battery life. Metabo; www.metabo.com
