Hey gang,
I've got a great saber saw, a Craftsman Model 320-17255 with the tool free =
bald install and removal.=C2=A0 The shaft that goes up and down had a round=
 thing on the bottom,=C2=A0 You turn this about 90 deg to insert the blade =
and release.=C2=A0 It has a spring loaded return.=C2=A0 Then to remove the =
blade you again rotate this thing about 90 deg and remove the blade.
Well the other day I inserted a blade and cut some drywall and plaster.=C2=
=A0 (I'm removing the soffits over my kitchen cabinets.)=C2=A0 When I was d=
one, I tried to remove the blade and the piece that rotates would only turn=
 about 5deg.=C2=A0 So the blade is stuck in the shaft.=20

Anyone had a similar problem with a tool-less saber saw?=C2=A0 If so how di=
d you get a stuck blade out?.=C2=A0 I tried spraying some PB Blast on it to=
 no avail.
