I never thought I needed a battery operated recip saw until I worked with a plumber friend who had one. Remember that its not a corded sawzall. If I had 4 hours of demo work, i would still use a corded recip saw. But that is not what this guy is really made for. It sure is handy when you need to notch a joist or two or three, trim a sole plate, demo dwv and even demo a few pieces of black pipe. I keep it with me when doing elect and plumbing for that occasional use. Bought it because it uses the same Litheon batteries as my big Bosch drill. Plus it uses the BOTH of the Litheon batteries, the fat pack and the slim one. It had no problem cutting 2" steel galv pipe with battery to spare.

This is a precision tool - very precise variable speed and the the twist on blade insertion is a breeze. And, with the battery installed, great balance. can used one handed. Highly recommended

This was purchased for my husband and he really has enjoyed the product. Says the balance is good on it as well. He said he would recommend this product.

Great tool, great power, goes through batteries very quickly, luckily I have an extra battery which I make sure is charging while using the tool

I bought this tool to supplement my other powered recip saw which is a Porter Cable Tiger Saw, which is also excellent. I wanted a saw that I could use far from an outlet, such as my back and front yard. This saw has been great. Good power, durability of power. We will see how it does over the years. Bosch is generally top shelf. The only reason that I can't use a tool is generally because my friends steal them cuz they are such good quality. WJM
