Rated 2 out of 5 by from Has great potential It drains my batteries quickly. Cuts straight and smooth just not for long.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great saw with usable power! This saw is unique in my tool arsenal as it is the only tool that I bought independent of a project requiring it. I just wanted it and it has since proved itself to be invaluable. This saw is powerful and it is usable! I've used many reciprocating saws that where big, heavy, and intimidating. They make lots of noise and often vibrate things apart before they cut them apart. This saw is a winner because it is so usable. It stays where you put it and goes where you point it and makes quick work of anything in-between. You are going to want a high capacity battery to power it as it does use some juice but that is to be expected. All in all a great tool!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from lightweight and powerful I finally broke down and brought this saw to install new double entry way doors and was extremely happy.I't took about two minutes to cut through the existing nails and screws they had holding this door in, and the door was out in no time. Great investment.I felt like a kid in a candy store. Great product!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from This saw is light and durable. Got this saw for Christmas last year and have used it many many times. We build haunted houses all year round for charities, and this saw gets a tough workout every day. It is light weight and very durable. I got the large battery and would recommend it to anyone considering buying this saw, the saw is very powerful and needs a battery that will last. I have cut through just about everything this saw should be able to handle with no problems at all. Love this saw!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rated 5 out of 5 by from You'll never have to buy another one. Have never found a job it wouldn't handle. Have worn out 100's of blades of all types and the tool still looks like it did the day I bought it. Have owned several other brands, but have never seen one perform like this one.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from I like the LED light feature. It really helps out in dark work areas. Overall this saw by far is the best and most powerful of all the 18v saws out there. Super durable and very light. Great tool! Ridgid fan for life!!!
