ONCE I BOUGHT ONE, I NEVER FORGAVE MYSELF FOR NOT GETTING ONE FROM THE BEGINNING. I'M STILL AMAZED AT WHAT IT CAN DO. THE NAME FITS PERFECTLY !

Best tool ever invented. I have two, one at home, one at the vacation home. Mainly for sawing timber and pruning and anything else. Variety of blades allows me to cut everything. Also have a twin saw and two chainsaws but my recip is the go to, and it feels safer as well. Thanks for a great posting.

Great video! Thank you for sharing this. I saw Detroit and I got excited. Thank you D DIY! 😎

Thank you Sir. It was very educative.🎉

Great video, I am now fully reciprocating saw pilled

I am now in love up to the hilt with the reciprocating saw 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hi from England thankyou for your explanation today I have just ordered one I am 62 just retired and want to make things for my garden and you helped thankyou

Yes you can buy a metal blade for a circular saw. I run an older U.S. made Milwaukee worm drive & a newer Skil mag 77. There are many manufacturers, but I primarily use Freud Diablo blades. I own a (7-1/4") 48 tooth carbide steel cutting blade (they also make a 60T for thinner materials), as well as a similar Aluminum cutting blade. They're outstanding. They generate very little heat, cut very fast, straight & clean. In many/most applications, they are much faster, cleaner, and straighter than any offerings from an angle grinder, reciprocating saw, or a torch. I also have Masonry blades which work extremely well. These blades last quite awhile if used properly & cost around $25‐30. Not trying to bash you, or the Sawzall...but if you're looking to cut metal quick & clean, the circular saw can most often blow the reciprocating saw out of the water, and is only bested by, the cost of the blade, depth of cut, and access to cut.

I wouldn't use my Mag 77 with a metal blade, not sure if the metal dust will ruin the saw if you keep on doing it. Same thing cutting concrete, I have a wet saw for this. I use my saw designed for cutting metals or my Milwaukee portable band saw.

@@kimchee94112 Valid points. Working in the field there's only so much room on the truck which is why I designate an older worm drive for the occasional unforseen shit duty task. Cutting any cement product dry & without even dust collection will absolutely destroy a skil saw in short order. (Perhaps I should have prefaced my original post.) In regards to a metal cutting/carbide blade on a traditional worm drive; I'm not so worried about dust as they throw chips rather than abrade. There is a point to note that, the no load r.p.m. on metal saws are usually in the neighborhood of 25% or so less, leading me to believe they've modified their gearing for increased torque. For occasional unforeseen use, this setup has served me well. If cutting metal/masonry on a more frequent basis, I'd absolutely agree that a purpose built saw is irrefutably necessary. Happy Thanksgiving pal.

I have an older model Dewalt Reciprocating saw, It takes an allen ranch to replace the blade. Thank you for the information on the different blades, I've had my reciprocating saw for about three years now & had no idea there were that many different options for blades!

I've learnt a lot from your videos. Please, can you give us tips on handling a reciprocating saw's kickback and maintenance of the machine? Thanks so much ...

Great video, but I cut aluminum with a circular saw sometimes if I need to cut a perfectly straight long cut in thick aluminum.

Excellent! Learnt a lot from you.

Excellent video. Thanks for educating.

I'm not going to email people but for what it's worth you are correct

Thanks! I never saw all these nice attachments.

Cool video.. Learned so much

Thanks for the info i am a new owner in Jamaica i have never seen the wire brish the scraper nor the grout cleaner before thanks

Hi. Greetings from Venezuela.... Thanks for sharing your valuable knowledge and advice with the world... I love all kind of tools... Unfortunately, They are very expensive here...

Very helpful video ! Thnx a lot for your time !

Hello 👋. I've just watched your video for the very first time. I didn't know my reciprocating saw, accepted so many accessories 😅. My main reason to come on KZread was to see if there was any way to stop the blade "wobbling" when in use. So that's how I came to watch your video. Cheers 👍 you have a great day 👍

YEP. ONE OF THE BIGGEST (ONLY?) PROBLEMS WITH THEM IS THE WOBBLING. MAKES IT HARD TO MAKE PRECISE CUTS WHEN YOU NEED TO.

Very informative!!!

Thanks for the tips!

Great tool Must have one

What was that black cord like thing hanging off the end?

I cut through a solid 6" diameter pin made from 4140 in 4 hours with a single diablo blade, this saw, and a few solo cups of metalcutting coolant from the CNC. You can cut through anything and everything if you know to drag and roll the saw through the cut so you minimize your length of cut and use lubricant/coolant/water. I cut a small pinhole in the bottom of the coolant cup so it would drizzle into my cut while I'm sawing. A used 50 dollar sawzall with a 10 dollar blade will do a lot.

Great video.. I use mine to tear down sheds, cut metal, cut wood, furniture.. mainly demolition

I can think of lots of saws that cut metal or wood or pretty much anything with the right blade

nice!

you can buy a metal cutting blade for you circ saw although you _should_ only use it on a saw that was designed for it, you don't have to. Oscillating saws are more advanced, they can cut casts off arms while leaving the arm intact.

Hahahaha

can we use it as hammer maybe :s. and i need a sawzall table to use my sawzall as jigsaw, but it is heavy to mount to the underside of the table. any idea ?

Learned something new about scrapers and grout removal (replacing broken tiles). The metal blade is huge though. People using interior-grade screws and nails for a deck is just dumb. At least I can saw through the metal and rust. :P

Goddamn that wire brush attachment is fucking genius. But I’d rather just tape a wire brush to a sawzall blade than buy one so that’s exactly what I’m going to do

I'm considering a recip saw as an alternative to a chainsaw to hard prune very high leylandii (one handed job). Thanks for this walk through. I'm buying a de walt one handed cordless. Shame I'm 18 months too late for your offer . A brush and scraper would be a much appreciated addition to my new recip saw😀😀😀

I purchased a cheap Ryobi 6" chainsaw on sale, surprisingly doing a good job at cutting trees even 6" diameter branches. If regular Ryobi price I would get the Milwaukee 6" chainsaw hatchet. A ripcipicating saw won't be anywhere the speed as a chainsaw even with the special wood pruning blade. The only advantage is cutting roots where you don't want the chain anywhere near dirt. For little branches under 3/4" I use a cordless pruner, either my DeWalt or Milwaukee. Both does a fine job, Milwaukee twice the price but has more features. For tinny branches my hand pruner goes much faster or the mini 8" Milwaukee hedge trimmer.

Get the m18 fuel hackzall. True one handed beast. With a 9in Diablo pruning blade with carbide teeth you'll be set.

Thanks for the information. Have you tried the pruning blades?

I have for many years. Used to be $10 a pop, getting expensive since the blade wears out very fast but super sharp at first. I resharp those blades. The little Milwaukee M12 hackzall does a good job up in the trees with a large battery (say 4Ah), no need for my Super Sawzall. Chainsaw much faster and the chain last much longer. I like my cordless mini 6" chainsaw a lot, no need to bring out my cordless 18" most of the time.

I don’t think you have considered the Angle Grinder!..It too can cut Metal, Wood, Sand, Polish and Grind…

Hello from a fellow Michigander! I am unsure who this video was made for? Recip saws are not a casual tool. Everyday home owners are not going to own one. But people that already own them, pretty much know what they are capable of. Not trying to be negative.

I'm a homeowner and purchased one because the drains in each bathroom sink rusted through one after the other. The threads were also rusted so I couldn't remove them from the sink by turning the pipes. For the first one I used a hacksaw to cut through to remove it. That took forever, so after that I bought a reciprocating saw and finished the next one in a fraction of the time. I haven't used it since then, but it was cheaper than a plumber , and less frustrating han a hacksaw. When the toilet tank bolts rusted through I decided that discretion was the better part of valor and used hacksaw blades.

Hi Sir l watched your video, in which you mention about the reciprocating saw , for me it was a very useful one as l wanted to buy one saw but very confused which to buy for multi task like how you mention in this video, very good for me as l got your knowledge of the important saw. Very sorry for l watched it today and l am from goa, india , today is 2nd july 2023. I have no idea of your email as you said that you will chose the winners on 4th july. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas and experience in the reciprocating saw video. God bless you Keeping posting your exp. which helps peoples like me bravo.

They didn't invent reciprocating saw the reciprocating saw is over 3000 years old they made the electric reciprocating saw there were gas powered reciprocating saws before this

Terrible audio

Had one for years just got some block/ brick blades will try them out soon 🧱

Your video was informative but not accurate. You can buy a metal cutting blade for your circular saw , table saw, electric miter saw. I use my miter saw for a variety of cuts in metal, when i want a sguare cut. Another thing about the circular saw they make a variety of blades for them. I did a lot of demo work. They make a blade exclusively for nail embedded wood . I like the reciprocating saw but to me i find the circular saw more versatile. As a builder you need a vast amount of power tools.
