Ratings & Reviews for Bosch 18-volt Variable Speed Cordless Reciprocating Saw (Battery Not Included)

Excellent Product

Blade change is very easy. 18v Lithium Fat Pack Batteries Batteries are interchangeable with my Bosch 18 V Drill.

Great tool for any trade

Just got this baby, and I have to say that it's the best Sawzall I ever worked with. The weight to it is perfect!

up to any task

I bought this saw after being so impressed by a drill/impact set i purchased earlier, and I'm glad I did. Cuts through anything with little to no problems at all. I use 3ah batteries for it, and it seems to last longer than most 4ah that co workers use for their tools. The only reason it's three is because of the Lockjaw collar. It's an extremely nice feature and has saved my fingers from hot blades more than once, but I've also lost a few expensive blades that were still good because of the way...

18 v reciprocating saw

although all the other Bosch 18 v tools I have, drills, circular saw, jig saw, this one seems to have quite a high vibration level compared to my corded Ryobi

Power plus

I do extensive volunteer work at the Florida Wildlife Hospital. I always take my Bosch CRS180B reciprocating saw when I go. I installed a demolition blade and cut through 3/4" plywood roofing (with shingles and nails) and then turned around to remove large oak branches. It has never failed to get the job done. I really liked the lack of a double switch arrangement to get the blade moving. My previous saw required the use of two hands to get the blade moving because of switch placement. This mean...

Great tool

Been using tool on & off for 2weeks, llike 2 speed switch, cuts very fast, tool is very durable, battery last pretty long time, very happy i bought it.

Reciprocating 18v saw is great

This is an amazing tool. I use it at work then use it at home. I have a complete set of 18 volt tools and use this the most. As an electrician I cut conduit and strut all the time.  

As good as any corded saw

I bought this saw to replace a previous saw who's batteries would not hold a charge. I was doing a bathroom remodel and needed a saw. I am extremely happy I chose the Bosch. It is very strong, easy to handle, and the batteries seem to hold an endless charge. Very happy with this purchase

easy to use

it is a tool we use when needed at any time we need it in a tight spot!!!!!

Great tool for the price.

I bought this saw in May and have used it several times and have found it both easy and comfortable to use.  Blades are easy to change. Make sure you use quality blades.

Great tool

Very versatile tool, easy to control the speed, well balanced weight  and good grip. Only down side is the battery doesn't last long when performing demanding cuts.

Quality construction

I like the way to change the blades and the "piston" is not wobbly like some of the cheaper competition.The use of rubber material in the casing protects the tool and is good for grip. The battery life so far is outstanding.

fearsome but handles well

I own a bunch of other Bosch 18V cordless tools (drill, impact driver, jigsaw and circular saw) but had not planned to buy this one until I had a major demolition job to do. My wife changed that. She wanted it to cut down a bunch of small bushes in the yard, too big for the hand nippers, but too small for the chainsaw. She was right. It makes fast work of this stuff. She says it is the first power tool I have bought that she is not frightened to use. It is surprisingly lightweight and easy to op...
