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

very good

Extremely pleased with the preformance. good battery life, but if you have a large project, i would recommend an extra battery or two.

Like butter!

Easily cuts through bone. Made getting my husband into small pieces and in my trunk very easy! Gets rid of hookers and drastically increases your bank account. Oh yeah, and it cuts through nails when you need it to.

Great Deal

Works fine and far cheaper than upgrade models. Quick change blade holder is excellent. A tad slower than expected on cutting thick wood.

good,but heavier than expected

Well,4 stars just for the vibration which depends of how thin the blade is...Really,not only appropriate blade should be chosen for different materials, but also it is good if the blade sits tight in lock.... Quick insert and two speeds are bonuses.

Great Deal with Promotion

This was a great deal with the special promotion of a free battery and charger. And, I really like the tool less blade change system. Purchased with a Pruning blade so I can get where the Chainsaw dare not go.

It has yet to let me down

I purchased this saw about a month ago and I can't be happier. It has cut through PVC, lumber wood, 4x4s and aluminum with ease. It has yet to quit on me during a job. I love how easy it is to replace blades with the quick insert as well as the overall rugedness and 2 speed selector. What would I add? Some LED light and a 1st gear with lower RPMs

had higher expectations

i like that it's mobile so i don't need an extension cord. the saw works great when the battery is charged, however one would need to carry extra batteries. the batteries deplete quite quickly. i could only saw through 6 or 7 4x4 treated lumber before i didn't have enough power to saw any more. batteries aren't cheap, and i would suggest getting at least two extra, since it takes time to charge a single battery.
