i have ten fruit trees that died during severe cold weather... my newly purchased craftsman corded reciprocating saw worked very well in harvesting the woods... i,m giving it a five-star... i have so much woods now that i could use for practice in woodcarving... will definitely buy a craftsman grinder in the next few days

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I use it all the time, there are other tools I need but cannot afford yet.

wonderful product

I needed a saw that a woman could handle and this qorks wonderfully

a little heavy, but it works fine.

I prefer this corded version to battery, because batteries end up costing more than the tool in the long run.

Love it!

Love it! Easy to change the blade. Easy to operate. A little heavy for me. Got the job done quickly.

Got the job done

Uses it to demo an old hot tub. Didnt use the included blades because they weren't long enough for that job.

I REALLY HAVE NOT USED IT YET. BUT LOWES IS THE ONLY PLACE TO BUY TOOLS. NOT A PROBLEM WITH ANY OF THE TOOLS . I HAVE BOUGHT THERE. THANK YOU LOWES.

Great saw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this saw. It's easy to handle, easy to change blades, and perfect for any job you throw at it. I'll never have any other brand of reciprocating saw.

Decent saw. Blade problem fix

This is a decent saw but I do agree with others that it has trouble holding onto to blades. I found that if you run a 5/32” drill bit through the locking pin eye on the end of the the blade before putting it in the saw, the saw will now hold the blade securely. This helps the locking pin on the saw sit deeper into the blade locking pin eye. I ran my Milwaukee metal blades roughly through some pipe lots of times with lots of vibration and the blades did not come out once! If for some reason the s...

Used sold as new

I bought this as a gift and when it arrived, it was dirty and had dirty finger prints on it. When we plugged it in, it sounded like a barrel of ball bearings. Maybe this is a good product, just not this one. Lowe’s did refund it with no problem.

Good tool at good price

I needed a resiprocal saw for a particular task I was doing. Since I seldom use one I wanted a good brand at a low price. This was perfect. Cordless are much nicer but for the average home handy person corded works just fine. I'm not going to be high on a roof someplace.

On the 3rd replacement

Purchased one for work and after less than an hour the insides broke apart and it no longer zalled. Second one same thing have yet to open the 3rd replacement but i have a feeling it won’t last long

Returned Because of Safety Issue

I read several reviews that described the blade becoming unattached. I could only imagine horrible scenarios as a result of this so I returned it to the store, unopened. I purchased the slightly more expensive Dewalt, which not only has a blade collet that is secure, you can also change the angle of the blade in four different positions which turned out to be essential to the project I was working on.

Good saw

For the money works as well as any. 3yrs warranty can't go wrong. Compared and saved. I'm not using on construction sites but even if I was with a 3yr warranty can't beat it

Blade will not stay in

i received the saw for Christmas from the family after asking for it specifically. On the first project I was cutting a small section of metal fence post with a metal blade and the blade came out multiple times before I was done with the first cut. Tried to do a second cut and had to switch to a chop saw because of the defective properties of the blade attachment. Blade popped out 8 times for 2 cuts with no pressure or pinching. I do not recommend this saw. Cut one without the quick load bla...

Good entry level saw

Saw with the right blade does a good job but basically an entry level saw....Does a good job for the dollars spent..

Worked perfectly

Put a metal cutting blade in it and cut through rebar in no time!
