A reciprocating saw is merely one of the handiest tools you may own. These tools are great for apps in the home or the jobsite. Milwaukee actually invented the introductory reciprocating saw and is still considered one of the best saws on the market. The Milwaukee Sawzall is the “Zerox” of reciprocating saws. Just go to your local hardware store and ask for a Sawzall, the salesman will know precisely what you need. These versatile tools are extremely pleasing for cutting holes in drywall, plaster, metal pipes and through nails.

However, they are not a precision cutting instrument. If you need to cut a piece of molding to fit into a weird place, a jig saw will be better. A outstanding application is demolition for home remodeling. One project I applied my reciprocation saw on was removing old siding from my garage. The “recip” was invaluable. I would punch a hole in the wall near the roof, insert the blade and rip down to floor. Nails were no problem, the “sawzall” went through them like butter. The old siding just came right off.

Another actually outstanding feature of these tools is the capacity to speedily switch out the blades. This allows the user to pick the right blade for the right application. You may buy a demolition blade that is outstanding for rough cutting wood and nails or you may get a blade with fine teeth for cutting metal pipe. You may also get dissimilar lengths and sizes. The quick release on the blade is the reason these tools are so versatile. The apps are endless, from landscaping to demolition. If you are giving careful consideration to adding a powertool or giving one as a gift, you can’t go defective with a good reciprocating saw.
