Our verdict

A tool-only cordless reciprocating saw with a recipro blade in the box. Power has to come from separate batteries.

Overview

Cutting pipe or metal stock is the work of this lightweight cordless reciprocating saw, finished in blue. A recipro saw blade comes with the bare tool.

A light body and a grippy handle help on overhead and awkward cuts, and the bare format suits owners of LXT batteries. The limitation is that nothing in the box powers it and the blade length figure is not usable.

Who it's for

Demolition, pipe cutting and tight-quarters metal cuts are the typical jobs. A buyer starting a battery platform should look at a kit that includes a pack and charger.

Pros and cons

Pros
  • Metal surface listed
  • Three year warranty
Cons
  • Battery and charger not included
  • Blade length figure unusable
  • No brushless motor listed
  • Speed not listed

Performance notes

A reciprocating saw moves the blade back and forth, so tooth count and blade material decide how fast it cuts metal. Battery charge limits how many cuts a pack delivers, and a fresh high speed steel blade matters more than motor size.
