I have received some entries. [cool] Just a reminder note about the entry rules ...... To be considered a correct answer brand and type of tool are required. A model number is not needed but it won't help or hurt your chances.
EX of entry...... "Milwaukee, reciprocating saw" would be the correct form for an entry guess. "Sawzall" would not.

Why is that ?
Milwaukee's name for the saw is actually Sawzall its not generic. A Sawzall by definition is ONLY a Milwaukee and ONLY a reciprocating saw. Just like Kleenex is actually ONLY one particular brand of tissue. Anyone that say Sawzall for any old reciprocating saw is totally wrong a Sawzall is an electric reciprocating saw made by Milwaukee Tools. Sawzall is even a legal trademark of the Milwaukee Electric Tool Company for their line of reciprocating saws.
Over the years the term Sawzall has become ubiquitous for any kind of reciprocating saw, Milwaukee-made or not, but it still does not make it correct.
I get your point, but technically your example is incorrect.

A better example would be that you can just say jigsaw or reciprocating saw.
For me a Sawzall will always and only be a Milwaukee reciprocating saw, because it simply is.
