Ratings & Reviews for Bosch 18-volt Variable Speed Cordless Reciprocating Saw (Battery Not Included)

good,but heavier than expected

Well,4 stars just for the vibration which depends of how thin the blade is...Really,not only appropriate blade should be chosen for different materials, but also it is good if the blade sits tight in lock.... Quick insert and two speeds are bonuses.

Great Deal with Promotion

This was a great deal with the special promotion of a free battery and charger. And, I really like the tool less blade change system. Purchased with a Pruning blade so I can get where the Chainsaw dare not go.

It has yet to let me down

I purchased this saw about a month ago and I can't be happier. It has cut through PVC, lumber wood, 4x4s and aluminum with ease. It has yet to quit on me during a job. I love how easy it is to replace blades with the quick insert as well as the overall rugedness and 2 speed selector. What would I add? Some LED light and a 1st gear with lower RPMs

had higher expectations

i like that it's mobile so i don't need an extension cord. the saw works great when the battery is charged, however one would need to carry extra batteries. the batteries deplete quite quickly. i could only saw through 6 or 7 4x4 treated lumber before i didn't have enough power to saw any more. batteries aren't cheap, and i would suggest getting at least two extra, since it takes time to charge a single battery.

More power than my old one

Slowly swapping out my old NiCad craftsman set for Bosch.. This reciprocating has much more power.

impressive power

Wow this thing cuts through wood and nails like a honey badger. I’ve had this tool for a few days and used it to cut through 4x4 fence posts and attached pickets.

Great Value

I purchased the saw, mainly because it came with a free battery and charger. So far I used it for just about everything. Explain I’ve used to cut PVC for my sprinkler system, steel for a small project I was working on, and doing some minor limb trimming in my yard. Great all around tool, I recommend everybody

Great timesaver

I have only had this saw for two weeks so I cannot speak to its durability. However, it has cut through branches with ease and seems to be a lot easier to handle than a chainsaw. The weight is manageable and as I age that becomes more of a concern.

Handy

Bought as a replacement for my old corded PC saw that is worn out from remodeling my old farmhouse. Already own several Bosch 18V tools so it was a no brainer. It was the only 18V tool of several on sale at the time that did not include a battery and charger.

Great product

Just purchased this for me as a early christmas present. I cannot really comment on the overall performance. I will say that this is a steal! I got the battery and charger for free with purchase. Probably a limited time only. Best deal anywhere!

I didn't want to buy the same reciprocating tool .

Rugged,Tough and did what I needed it to,I bought Bosch for a reason.

Awesome For Small Jobs

Great tool but the battery doesn't last very long.
