This is a great saw, well balanced for one handed use. Bright LED lights let you see the material being cut in low light situations. Overall an awesome saw that won't break the bank!
Since you've asked for my opinion, I wish I hadn't bought this tool. The battery life is far too short and the 5-minute recharge that is mentioned is really misleading. If I hadn't used it, and is now dirty, I would return it to Menards, but I cannot.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

This compact reciprocating saw worked well. Used it once so far and it cut nails quickly with the metal cutting blade. It has a good, balanced feel. I like the variable speed trigger which helps with control. I would recommend this brushless tool to anyone who wants a cordless recip saw.
I would recommend this to a friend!

At first, the size of this saw made me nervous. I typically use recip saws for tough demo work or lopping 4x4 posts in fence/landscape work. I had my doubts as to whether this saw would make it, but I was wrong. The size actually became an advantage as it was super easy to handle through the cuts and the battery kept a solid charge after several. Definitely a useful tool around my house and shop!
