This is my first reciprocating saw, so I have little experience, but it works great for me. One of the deciding factors for me is that this is essentially a single handed tool (although I have seen videos showing two handed use). I have only used it thus far on thick vine roots and it works well using the arborist blades I purchased. At first I thought that the saw was a little heavy, but the battery balances the tool well and compared to a hand saw, I didn't even notice the extra weight while cutting, but I did notice being able to make cuts I normally wouldn't have (no need for space to pull on a hand saw). I have a bigger project to work on (removing about 50ft of wood fence) and I expect that this saw will power through that also. I was surprised that the battery used only one bar for the better part of an hour of work (I guess that brushless does make a difference).
I was pleasantly surprised that a 6" blade was included with the saw.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Nice battery power compact saw. I've use it for many jobs around the house, tree trimming, pvc pipe cutting and wood working. It dose the job very well.

I’m an elderly woman and I bought this saw for pruning trees. So far I am very happy with it. I’m sure I will find many other uses for it as time goes by.

Lightweight, powerful, more compact than most. Easy to maneuver in tight spaces. With a good blade there is no limit.

Have not had a chance to use it yet but it seems well balanced. Most of the bigger corded models are 2 handed option. This can be run with 1.

I really liked everything about this saws all. I do have one suggestion in that they would move the lock button. I am right handed and several times I inadvertently depressed the lock button. Minor I know, but would lesson my aggravation. Great tool!
