Punch, Cut, and Smooth Drywall with Precision

Master your rough-ins and wallboard installations with the Klein Tools Fixed Blade Rasping Jab Saw (31711). Engineered for efficiency, this robust tool features a 6.5-inch hardened steel blade with aggressive triple-ground teeth. This specialized tooth geometry cuts in both push and pull directions, allowing you to slice through drywall, wallboard, plywood, and plastic significantly faster than traditional saws. The blade also includes integrated rasping holes, a clever design feature that lets you quickly smooth out rough edges or slightly enlarge holes for electrical boxes without needing a separate file.

Comfort and safety are at the core of the 31711's design. The handle is built with a wide, cushioned grip that fits naturally in the palm, reducing fatigue during repetitive cutting. The flat striking cap on the end allows you to firmly punch the saw through drywall to start a plunge cut without needing a drill. When the job is done, the included hard plastic sheath locks securely over the blade, protecting your tool bag from damage and preventing accidental injury during transport. Durable, sharp, and versatile, this jab saw is a must-have for any professional tradesperson.

Pro-Tip: When cutting an opening for an electrical box, if the fit is slightly too tight, use the side of the blade with the rasping holes like a file. Run it along the inside edge of your drywall cut to shave off just enough material for a perfect fit without having to make a new cut line.
