My 0719-20 a56a sawzall motor runs well. The blade moves till it hits wood then stops. The motor continues to run but the blade just stops when any pressure is applied. Any Ideas??????
Most likely your two issues will be: A. The clutch assembly needs adjustment (easy fix). B. The clutch assembly has a worn gear (more difficult fix and requires finding parts).
Least likely is the armature gear is broken or worn.
If you need to replace parts it won't be prohibitively expensive. Try EReplacement Parts.com for a diagram and parts list. If they don't carry the part you need, EBay usually has them.

I'm afraid this is one that needs to go to the manufacture. You can contact them at this link:
