I recently installed a kitchen that had Blum soft close hinges on the cabinets. I found the new feature to be rather easy to install. It is a secondary piece that pushes onto the hinge which makes it close slower. read Soft Close Kitchen Cabinet Hinges Review
I bought a 6 amp Chicago Sawzall from Harbor Freight. The reciprocating saw cost about twenty five dollars. In review of my most recent kitchen cabinet remodel jobs that I have used the sawzall on, I have no complaints about this tool.
Features:
- Variable speed trigger
- Twist lock-blade chuck
- Rotating handle with five preset positions
- Seven eights inch stroke length
- Six Amp
- Metal and wood cutting blades included
