This review is from: Bare-Tool Denali 565046 18-Volt Cordless Reciprocating Saw (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

Bought this in a combo, and worked okay for a little bit. The first issue I had was that the blade chuck (or whatever you call it) came loose after one battery discharge. This meant that I had to take the plastic casing off of the tool to tighten the screws...not a big deal...but a pain (they loosened again, but i used some loc tite to prevent a third dissasembly). Six months after purchase, the tool started to make horrible grinding sounds, and would not operate. From what I could tell, the main reciprocal gearing had become stripped, and the tool would no longer work. It has since been trashed, and been replaced (for now) with a Ryobi cordless and a Dewalt corded that have not had any issues as of this posting.

I would look elsewhere for this type of tool, unless you would be using it very lightly...

This review is from: Bare-Tool Denali 565046 18-Volt Cordless Reciprocating Saw (Tool Only, No Battery) (Tools & Home Improvement)

I own several cordless reciprocating saws, a 36 volt DeWalt, 18 volt DeWalt, a Milwaukee 18 volt and a Milwaukee 18 volt "hatchet". They are all great tools. They have a feeling of quality when you turn them on.
The Denali feels and sounds a little crude by comparison. I have only had the Denali a couple of days, but I have to say using the same Milwaukee and Dewalt blades that I use in my other saws it cuts wood as good as anything I own. I don't know how long it will last, but for what it cost I can buy 4 or 5 of them for the price of an industrial rated name brand tool. I think it is the perfect homeowner saw.

I was impressed enough by its performance that I bought 2 more to have as spares. I know that is nuts but they were very inexpensive.

I used this saw yesterday with a 9" Bosch metal cutting blade to reach behind wall studs and cut the sheathing nails and also to cut the heavy framing nails thet had been used to "sister" the wall studs at this location. This type of use realy puts a strain on the tool. Pushing a 9" blade between a couple of 2x4's creates a lot of drag as does pushing it between the tightly nailed sheathing and the back side of the wall stud with the blade bent at about 45 degrees. I am pleased to say it worked great. Plenty of power and it quickly cut all the connecting nails.

So far I have worn out 3 Milwaukee demolition blades using this saw to do overhead cutting of plaster over plaster board with embedded expanded metal reinforcing. I have worn the teeth completly off the blades but the saw is holding up well so far and sems to have a lot of power. Battery life is better than I expected, considering the amount of work being done.

All Denali Tools have been fantastic, the only concern is longevity. i bought this, used it and loved it so i bought 2 more. i figure at $14 i can buy 5 before i have even touched a dewalt (even then i still have some more money to spend). the blade is par at best, buy good blades and the tool performs.
