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.

Reciprocating saw
Rating: 5
I really enjoy using my saw. It's user friendly. I like the blade quick release. My old saw ued an allen wrench for blade replacement. Now it only takes a few seconds. I've been using it for a few weeks and would recommend this saw.

Reclaiming my yard one tree at a time.
Rating: 5
Love, love, love it. I have a lot small trees that have come up on their own while I was not able to look after my lawn. I have cut down everything from 1" to 6" diameter trees. It is light enough that I can easily use it even though I have arthritis in my hands. I am reclaiming my back yard!

Made the near impossible possible
Rating: 5
Saw is powerful enough for the dismantling of pallets which were composed of very hard lumber such as oak and maple along with multiple nails which were almost impossible to pull. The saw cut through all of the above, helping to make the job possible within a reasonable amount of time. I used an all purpose long blade.

Good saw for the occasional user
Rating: 4
this is a good reciprocating saw for someone who needs to occasionally saw something, but doesn't want to spend 100 bucks. not too heavy, so it's easy to maneuver. would recommend earplugs for the sound.
