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.

FIRE, FIRE, FIRE
Would Not Recommendthis is my second of this model. first one last a couple years before catching fire. thought it was a fluke but this one caught fire before the end of the first battery. side note: one of the v20 weedwackers also caught fire about a week ago. all use was standard with official batteries.
Smoke
Would Not RecommendWorked great in the beginning. Out of warranty now and it started smoking and smelling burning. Support for repairs was very poor. Will look at a Dewalt now. I own many many Craftsman products but disappointed here.

Craftsman battery reciprocating saw.
Would Not RecommendUsed the unit twice. It throws the blades out. Has poor power. I have several other like units, Dewalt, etc. Craftsman cant hold a candle. I bought it because I was only going to use it sparingly. Don't waste your money. Also, you can't repair the unit. Mine went right to trash.
