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.]

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.

Great all around tool
Rating: 3
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!
