PORTER-CABLE 7.5-Amp Keyless Variable Speed Corded

Plenty of power. Gets the job done fast. Easy to change blades.

Saw

I'm happy I bought this tool. It cuts where I cant get my circular saw or saber saw. It also cuts larger pieces of wood easily.

Super Tool

I bought this to cut treated 4X4 posts and it worked like a charm. It works great and I'm almost done with my 20' x 32' deck.

Works as advertised

Power is adequate. Price is right for a one time project.

great value for price!

This is a good saw, but it's not a Milwaukee or dewalt. But neither is the price. I use mine in my remodel business and haven't had any problems. the last one I had went for 4 years and got stolen. I would recommend this tool to anyone.

Reciprocating Saw

Outstanding cut work time in half

saw

did not care for the excessive vibration that came with it's useage

Buyer beware.

This is probably the worst tool I’ve ever bought. I’m literally standing on a job waiting for the blade to cool so I can reinsert it for at least the tenth time.

Porter-Cable 7.5 amp reciprocating saw

Used it to cut 4 4x6 beams and it worked great. Smooth cut, I was impressed.

It saws all!

Operates exactly as advertised. Comes with 1 wood blade. Bought an extra pack of metal blades and opened up the backyard immediately by cutting down a large chain link fence. Cuts through metal like butter with the new blades!

Good for very light work

It took 3 of these to get through some wooden fencing. Not sturdy and should not be considered if you’re doing any actual work.

Does the job

My first reciprocating saw. Only $50.00. Saw worked great all day, took down lots of branches. But one major issue, just like other reviews, blade keeps coming out.

Good Purchase

Wanted one of these for a while. My buddy needed help removing an old hot tub. So I used this to cut the hot tub in half so we could take it to the dump. Worth every penny.

Great Tool

Had to bring down some walls during remodeling and this tool was great, made quick work of everything put in front of it. Sturdy, good balance

Worked until it didn't

After about 1 hour of use, the trigger stuck in the on position. I had to unplug the unit, and then tapping on the handle released the trigger. After that, a full press of the trigger resulted in variable speed (fast and then slow and then fast again). The switch went bad in such a short time that I wanted to replace the unit. Unfortunately, the make / model I wanted was not available so I took the refund.
