Ratings & Reviews for CRAFTSMAN V20 20-volt Max Variable Speed Cordless Reciprocating Saw (Battery Not Included)
Ratings may include incentivized customer reviews.
What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this tool for its surprising power, lightweight design, and ease of use, with many highlighting fast cutting through wood, branches, and nails without bogging down. The tool-free blade change and battery compatibility with existing cordless systems are widely appreciated conveniences. However, a notable group reports sudden motor failures accompanied by smoke or burning smells, sometimes after just a few uses or within a couple of years, which undermines confidence in long-term durability. Despite these concerns, most customers consider the performance and value compelling enough to recommend.

From V20 20-volt Max Variable Speed Cordless Reciprocating Saw (Battery Not Included)
I'd buy it again, and I already did!
Would RecommendI actually bought this as a replacement for the same saw I had worked to death. After 5 years and a bunch of very hard use, my Craftsman reciprocating saw finally just gave up. I was absolutely going to replace it with the same model. LOVE my Craftsman power tools.

Great tool
Would Recommend[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this tool in 2021 and it lasted me 5 years of heavy use. It finally met its match in 2026 and it will be missed.
