I have used it to cut 1″ steel pins and small hardwood tree limbs. It works great, I only wish the battery lasted longer.

This recip saw kicks aye ess ess! Love the scrolling feature and the variable drive. Love Rigid products! Their customer service on battery issues leaves me feeling violated and sore, but that’s for another review. Totally recommend this recip saw!

The tool is light, versatile, and heavy duty enough to perform a myriad of sawing tasks on the ranch. Light enough for my wife to use effectively

Been wanting to get a portable Sawzall and this one checks all the boxes. I’ve used it to cut up galvanized drain pipes with ease, exterior framing, and old rotted cedar planting boxes so far with no issues. The sawzall is well-balanced and the battery doesn’t drain terribly quick.

This thing is a beast. It easily cut up a large tree that had fallen, (I went thru a lot of batteries) and never quit. Lots of power and feels like a high quality product. Highly recommend!

Allison Runolfsdottir (verified owner) –
very easy to assemble and light weight, the light on the end it very cool and convenient
Velma Reichel (verified owner) –
My only suggestion is that it is made very clear to the customer which batteries are relatively small and others are a robust medium.
Rosemary Mann (verified owner) –
I only used it once so but it is powerful. It’s a little heavier than I expected but I never a had a reciprocating saw before.
Raoul Goodwin (verified owner) –
Great saw with plenty of power and good balance. Only disappointment is the shoe angle lock does not hold well causing the shoe to move around. I have to reset It often, resulting in 4 stars.
