  • Just as good as the most expensive counterpart.
Battery life is kind of short but expected for a long period of working time for any battery operated power tools. Reciprocating saw performance is great for pvc cutting application with the correct blade. Other materials may differ battery life depending on hardness. Overall just a great tool.

  • It's got a ton of power
I've really put this to work for the past over a year. I use it almost every day from cutting small stumps to trimming branches.

  • Excellent product
Easy to use with one hand, excellent product at a very good price. Rigid tools only have a lifetime warranty if you purchase at specific stores.

  • No Rigid warranty
Although I saved $10 by buying this on amazon instead of Home Depot, this does not come with the Rigid lifetime warranty as do all Rigid tools and batteries. that is why I only gave it 4 stars. The saw works great!

  • Works as expected.
This works exactly as expected. It likely doesn't qualify for the lifetime warranty(as expected) but aside from that it's perfect.
