Strong saw
Rating: 5
Strong saw. Made 8 cuts through 4x6s like butter. Didn't even make a dent in the 4ah battery.

Plenty of power
Rating: 5
I have great experience with the Bosch 18V drill and driver. So when I need to buy a reciprocating saw, I went with a Bosch that uses the same batteries. My hitch mounted bike rack needs to be cut in order to remove the bolt from the broken insert. With a carbide tipped blade, I was able to cut the 3/8" thick rectangular steel tubing with out any issues. I have used the wood blade and cut branches easily too.

Powerful light and best of all, cordless
Rating: 5
This tool has done two, month long remodel type projects for me since I bought it. My red, corded, supersawzall is busy collecting dust. I sometimes use 2ah batteries when on a scissor lift or ladder and they last well for 80% of my use but I have a couple 6ah for more punishing use. I've put the tool through back to back 6ah batteries with 2ah ones filling in during recharge times and it does anything I ask if it. Both for wood and metal. I've never looked back and would easily buy again. I will probably also buy the new compact 18v as soon as I can find an excuse to do so.

Package Deal
Rating: 5
I bought the Reciprocating saw as a package deal that included 1 charger, 2 batteries, 1 drill, 1 hammer drill and a light. I bought the package just before Hurricane Matthew. I got my money back by extensive use of all the items in the package including the light. I cut and notched over 40 boards with the reciprocating saw and fastened over 80 boards with the two saws and then used the two drills to take the boards down after the hurricane passed. I used the light which is very bright for hours. I did not buy the package deal for the hurricane preparation but was very glad to have it on hand.

I actually now have the GSA18V-083, but previously had the model shown. I enjoy the new configuration and weight better in the new model and appreciate the fact that I didn't have to give up power or battery life in making the change.

Great saw, easy Battery and Blade change.
Rating: 5
I like the fact that my Bosch Drill/Driver batteries interchange with the Recipricating saw. The saw blades are easy and fast to change as well as the batteries. Nice saw, will serve me well.

Wonderful saw
Rating: 5
Well balanced & easy to use reciprocal saw that has plenty of power. I have used it for wood, metal and pruning with no problems. I use the slim batteries which does run low after about 45 minutes of pretty continuous use.

Simplicity
Rating: 5
I have a corded saw, and had a barn to work on with no power. My generator is on the blink, so I purchased this saw. I cut twenty four 2x6 rough cut boards with one battery, so glad my generator was not working . So much easier without all the hassle.

Great Saw
Rating: 5
After burning out two reciprocating saws in short order I went to my local box store and reviewed several saws. I decided to try the Metabo. I primarily use the saws for cutting out large roots when I remove trees. The Metabo had no problems with cutting through the large roots. It did not overheat, cut through the roots quickly. The 11 amp motor is a huge plus and did the work easily. I am very happy with it. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Hits Every Box on My Checklist

This is a well constructed, balanced and effective reciprocating saw. It's feature rich with an LED light to clearly illuminate your work area. The foldable hook allows for easy storage without laying it down at a job site. For more permanent storage, the included case is of good quality. Cutting through wood with the supplied blade was easy with minimal vibration. Excellent product, I highly recommend it.

Quality tool
Rating: 5
I used this on a demolition in a very old home going through nails, screws, horse-hair plaster, and old wood with ease. It got filthy, ran hard, and long and it kept on keepin on. Very well priced for the quality for a corded tool, i wasn't gonna spend the extra cash on a cordless one to barely be used.

I'm a amateur when it comes to using tools but this reciprocating saw is very easy to use . It's a little heavy for my wife but to me it was easy to hold and it work well

Bought this saw about a month ago and have used it quite often at my house in the city and also our lakehouse on the weekends...really like the built-in light and also the hook which makes it easy to pick up with one hand! Has a lot of power and also like the case it comes in...very satisfied with the purchase so far!
