Very pleased with the price and the great warranty on the item. Much better warranty then the yellow brand.

I have used the saw quite a bit and am very pleased with it

I wish it came with more blades, other than that, no complaints.

Excellent saw. Plenty of power and easy to handle. Installed a Diablo 12” carbide pruning blade and took down a small tree (maybe 15 feet, 9 inch trunk) and chopped it into firewood and kindling. Took less than a couple hours and battery still had juice at the end. Blade always went through smoothly and quickly. Tried the oscillating setting, but didn’t seem to need it for this task.

Great tool for your overall equipment has come in handled. But with all power tools be careful

The saw exceeded my expectations

The tools are quite good but registering for the LSA (warranty) is impossible. I’ve had all the other brands of tools and I’ve found Rigid as good as or better than all of them. However, the registration process seems to be set up so that you will never get your tools covered by the LSA. Everything you submit gets tagged as inadequate.

This is a quality tool. I have used it a few times and it is very powerful and works great. I am impressed with the ruggedness of this saw. i expect many years of service form this tool.

Easy to use. A little heavy, but sturdy

I love the convenience of being cordless! The battery didn’t last as long as I anticipated but just swapped it out and away we went!
Douglas Tromp (verified owner) –
I own many Ridgid cordless tools. They are all workhorses and I expect the same of the reciprocating saw

Great tool for the price

I had a similar model before the octane version and had not registered it for the service agreement after several years of hard work it died. Well the price for this one was right because it came free as a bare bones option tool with purchase of a combo starter pack. This tool is more efficient with the powers consumption I had no complaints with the old models power consumption. Great tool.

Only had for a short while but have been testing it on random pieces of wood and drywall and I have to say it has an excellent feel compared to an old corded milwaukee I had. Not slagging off the milwaukee, it was great, just old and heavy. This is so easy to pickup, slap a battery on it and go. I’ve been slowly replacing my corded tools to the rigid brand of cordless so I can always substitute a battery from one tool to the other. Yes, it’s only been a few weeks but I really like this saw and would recommend.

Does what I need to cut down small trees and brush. Plenty of power and nice not to be tethered to an extension cord

Fast to charge and cuts really well.
