RESCUE RUNNER
“The best thing about this blade is it always works. While operating at a strip mall fire, our tower was assigned vent work. The guys that operated that night stated that it out cut the other saws working that fire. They cut several different holes without having to change blades and were able to continue working without missing a beat. They cleaned the blade up, flipped it over and it was ready to meet its next challenge.”
– FF/PM Chris Wilson, Bloomingdale Fire District
“Since the demo day and acquiring the Rescue Runner blade from Norton we have been very pleased with it's performance.
From concrete foundation walls,metal doors and steel/tar roofs, security bars and even tires the Rescue Runner has eliminated the need to change between composite fibre blades on the scene. No more guessing whether it's a masonry or steel cutting composite blade.
Certainly a great attribute to the Squad Inventory.”
– John Davidson, Shift Training Instructor, Toronto Fire Department, Squad 232, "D" shift
"Being on a small fire department with a limited budget means we need to have equipment that that is durable, reliable and versatile. The Norton Rescue Runner’s strength and versatility means we aren’t losing valuable time at an emergency changing out blades. Our first job with the blade was a ¼” steel grate. The blade made a smooth, quick cut without catching or stalling. The dynamics of this blade has now made our rescue saw one of our most commonly used tools."
– Paul Redman, Deputy Fire Chief, Blandford-Blenheim Fire Department, Plattsville Station
DUO AND DUO EVO
"Our team has had terrific success with the DUO family of blades. The only thing better than DUO blade is the DUO EVO. The speed of the cut and life of the DUO EVO is second to none."
– Arron Graveen, Lincoln Contractors Supply
NORTON BLADES
"We are writing this letter to thank you for introducing us to Norton Blades. We have used many different brands of saw blades in the past, and none have held up as well as the Norton Blades we have purchased from your store. We use them regularly out in the field and they always perform well and last a long time. Thanks again!"
– Shanna Mulcaire, Mulcaire & Son Contracting, LLC
HI-PERFORMANCE DIAMOND RESIN BOND PADS
"We used the Hi-Performance Resin Bond Diamonds to polish over 100,000 square feet. Everyone was astonished by the finished product. I can't stress enough how pleased they all were, you have to be there in person to understand."
– Nick Dunham, QuestMark Flooring
DUCTILE RUNNER
“We tested the Ductile Runner cutting rebar with a contractor in San Antonio. We cut several pieces
of #5 (3/4") rebar to break the blade in. The contractor told us that in order to increase production,
they laid several pieces of rebar side by side and cut through all of them, usually three pieces, at
once. I cranked up the saw, cut through all three pieces laid out flat on the ground, finished the cut in
60 seconds. The blade was only moderately warm to the touch.”
– Jack Westbrook, Manufacturer’s Rep
“We cut 8 passes through 20 inch ductile pipe with a 1/2 inch concrete overlay down in a 6 foot hole
at the Denton Waste Water Treatment Plant with great ease and speed. A great blade with a fast cut!”
– Nathan Bowles, Manufacturer’s Rep
