Ratings & Reviews for PORTER-CABLE 20-volt max Variable Speed Cordless Reciprocating Saw No (bare tool)

Should have learned the first time...

I purchased this saw back in early 2015 to help with odd things around the new house we were having built. (no, I was not the builder and nor was I doing any of the construction using this tool) It was a great saw for all its intended purposes and fit me well. I liked the style, the weight and especially the price when I purchased it compared to others brands. Then going into the fall of 2015 I started having trouble with it heating up and getting the electrical burning smell. It got to the poin...

Great tool

This has been a great asset to me. I don't know how I've gotten along with out a cordless recip saw until now!

Awesome Cordless

This is an addition to a drill and 1/4" impact. As with those two tools this saw is no different blade changes are very easy tool is very durable if you plan to use this for long durations you will want to buy the 4 amp hour batteries

Like Butter

Bought this saw to take pallets apart. It was able to cut through anything I threw at it with ease. I pushed it to the limit for an hour and it was still running strong on a single battery charge.

Porter Cable 20v Max Recip. Saw

This is one beautiful tool! Feels good in your hands and plenty powerful! All of Porter Cable 20V Max tools are TOP NOTCH!!! You should have no doubts if you are going to purchase any of these tools! And they are SOOOOOO COOOL LOOOOKING!!!!! Jerry

Excellent!

Love all the 20v max tools! Easy to change the blade and the saw is light. Over all easy to work with! Excellent produce!

Performs well

This is a great saw to add to the PC 20V lineup for a homeowner. While building a new fence, we discovered that a tree had actually grown through the old fence and needed to be removed. After cutting it down (trunk was too large for anything but a chainsaw), this saw with a 9 inch pruning blade made short work of cutting the tree into manageable pieces. I would recommend that you have a 4 Ah battery for this saw if you're doing more than a few short cuts, as it does use more energy than the othe...

Excellent addition to the tool box!

This little guy exceeded my expectations in power and performance. Excellent value for a mere $45!

I used to be leary of cordless reciprocating saws

I am doing a bathroom remodel in my house and that justified the purchase of some newer power tools. I've owned Dewalt product and have been very happy with them, but I decided to give this saw a try since I just bought the Porter Cable drill/impact driver combo that had two batteries. This thing is much more versatile than my dad's corded Dewalt, but it's still nice to have a corded tool to fall back on. As long as you have at least two batteries, this will suit the needs of 99% of people out t...

Great little saw

I'm an electrician using this to cut conduit and some steel. The light weight and small size make it a joy to use compared to the bigger cordless saws that may out last this one for battery use, but this little 20v lithium battery lasts long time and recharges quickly.

Good value

excellent little saw. Totally different from my old tiger saw but way lighter,a much better design. So far I love it

nice addion to my set

works just as good as my corded one. great not having to deal with cord on small job. power lasted thru 1 hour of work.

Solid for a battery operated saw.

This is a good saw for being cordless. I used for the first time today and almost drained my battery in 30 minutes. This is to be expected with any cordless product. This has plenty of power and will get the job done, just not as good as a standard plug in reciprocating saw. This does not come with a battery and it clearly states that on the box. I would not recommend this Saw if you're doing a big project and do not have a couple spare batteries ready to go. I was very satisfied after my first...

Great Purchase for the Money

This saw is a great additional to the Porter Cable 20v Lithium Battery collection. The saw is very strong and will cut through any job with power to spare. Tool is well made and the quality is evident to see and experience.

Awesome

For spending $70 and having a lightweight powerful saw for 2 years + on warranty I couldn't be happier. Being a diy kinda guy this saw fit fitted bill.

Porter Cable Saw

This 20-volt variable speed cordless reciprocating saw will be goo - if you can find a 4 amp, 20-volt battery for it. The smaller batteries will not last long. Otherwise OK.

Bare tool great price

This is a bare tool which means no battery!! So any ways the Saw is the lightest saw i have used yet, also cuts quick. I just cant get over how light this saw is. I used it to rip down a 15ft wall. it cut through studs,nails, dead wire i repeat dead wire. I'm a huge fan of the new 20v system.

Battery operated

This was a gift for my son-in-law in another state. When he received it there was NO battery. How are you to use a battery operated Reciprocating Saw without a battery? I am very upset with Lowes at the moment. Am thinking of going to Home Depot from here out.
