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.

Versatile Reciprocating saw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The handle ergonomics are great, making it really easy to handle. It was able to cut through wood with ease for the project I was doing. I can see this being a very versatile tool that every diyer needs in their tool collection.

Time Saver For All

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This saw has been a life saver for my honey-doo projects. I have used it to cut wood, metal and lots of card board. It was used to make lots of wooded Christmas decorations. I have used other brands but this one is my absolute favorite. It is not only easy to use but it has an interchangeable battery to use with my other craftsman tools. Win win!

AVOID

Would Not Recommend

This works fine on small things but anything thicker than 1/2" it will smoke and burn up. We were pruning some evergreens and the saw would cut for 2 seconds and then turn off. Mine started smoking and got very hot. Since we were outside of Lowes return policy by 2 months(purchased may 2024) we had to go through Craftsman. Horrible customer service and kept putting on hold. Craftsman used to have such good tools.

Great product

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a great product. Used it to trim so branches on a small tree. It cut right thru them with a ton of ease. Love the fact that it’s cordless and rechargeable. The battery life is fairly long as well. It’s very lightweight making jobs easier without all the extra weight. The blades are easy to change out as well. Would definitely recommend this to any home owner.

Big job in a small package

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I absolutely love this saw! Its small enough to take where i need it, but big enough to get the job done. I love that its rechargeable, which by the way it lasts for a pretty good while before it needs to be recharged. It didn't come with a battery so i purchased it separately.

Works fine for small DIYs around the home.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] V20* Cordless Reciprocating Saw Is a pretty good saw tool for around the house for small projects, has a powerful high performance for increased speed of application. The variable speed trigger provides optimal control while the tool-free blade release makes for quick and effortless blade changes. Would recommend for small DIY projects but not for professionals.

Powerful and Convenient!

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Powerful and Convenience! It’s powerful, easy too handle and lighter than any other reciprocating saw I’ve even used before.I have used it for pruning, cutting scrap wood, cutting the top out of a 55 gallon drum, and trimming metal pipe. It has never struggled with any task it’s been put to, very pleased with the power and durability. Outstanding saw that performs beyond expectations !

excellent

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I’ve been using the Craftsman V20 Cordless Reciprocating Saw* for a few projects, and it’s exceeded my expectations in terms of power and convenience. The cordless design makes it incredibly easy to maneuver, especially in tight or hard-to-reach areas. I love not having to worry about cords getting in the way or finding a nearby outlet, which gives me more freedom to work on outdoor or remote projects. The saw’s performance is impressive for a...

An awesome addition

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This tool was an awesome addition to our life! We live on a nursery where we grow plants and have hedges growing as well. This tool helps us trim the hedges as needed without any issues or concerns. The Tool free blade release makes me feel safer during use and cleanup. This tool is light weight as well, making it easier for even me, a young mother, to use. We were able to trim our hedges easily and without risk of injury.

Perfect Reciprocating Saw

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What I really like about this product is that it works with all V20 batteries that I have and can swap them out quickly. The only thing I would change about this is that it comes with a blade for wood.

Solid, durable reciprocating saw

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this Sawzall. Its got plenty of power and lasting time. I used for cutting some nails and trimming some boards. Comfortable in the hands and not too heavy. The only thing I, personally, would like to see is a pistol grip version. Otherwise great tool
