I had originally purchased this saw for only one purpose -- to annually trim our 3 crepe myrtle trees. It worked so well and effortless, I now also use it for trimming 7 other palm-type trees in my yard. The battery (so far) has been long-lasting.
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.
