Great quality and easy to use
Rating: 5
This tool is packed with features, but yet it is still easy to use. During the I tested this product, this has become one of my favorite tools in the saw/cutting category. The feature I love best about this saw is how simple it is to change the cutting blade. You simply push the switch, insert the blade, and it's done! Another reason this is one of my favorite tools is that it feels and looks very high quality. There's a good weight to the tool, which is not too heavy or too light and has good grip pads, which gives you good control over the tool. This saw is also not that big which allows you to bring into right spaces. I have been using this mostly outdoors to get rip of a tree that fell down and this makes it an easy job, and I got it done in less than a day. I love this tool, and if you are looking for a reciprocating saw, this would be the one. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

Handy Saw
Rating: 5
I've borrowed my son's WORX reciprocating saw a few times to prune the low hanging tree branches and it worked great. So I went ahead and bought my own. I share the 20V batteries with my other WORX tools and saved money on the purchase. Works great and being cordless and "gasless" makes for ease of use.

Great Saw, may replace gas chain saw!

I bought this about a month ago, and yesterday a 4" diameter tree fell. Instead of pulling out the Hard starting, oil leaking P I T A chain saw, I decided to give this saw a spin. It worked flawlessly. In made heavy work nice and easy.

A flexible tool
Rating: 5
I bought this as I started a bathroom remodeling job. Used it in many ways. Couldn't have done it without this tool. It's was nice to have a couple of batteries from my lawn tools. Thinking of buyign a Worx still too.

works well
Rating: 5
I got the tool 2 weeks ago & used it twice, both times it did the job well. I always wanted a reciprocating saw But the cords were always a hassle, when I saw the worx one I knew I had to have it. This is my 6th worx tool and they all exceeded my expectations. Keep up the good worx.

Heavy duty but easy to use
Rating: 5
This is an excellent reciprocating saw. High speed cutting through various jobs. My only complaint is the manual does not do it for me. I don't understand the pendulum controls and there is no explanation and installing the blade is hard to see on the diagram-only instructions.

Only gave 4 stars due to poor instructions
Rating: 4
I'm happy with the saw. The instructions were so poor! It took me a long time to figure out how to change the blade. A good close-up picture of the blade locked in would have been great so let me share one with you.

nice tool
Rating: 4
It does the job that I bought it for. Used it immediately when it arrived. Small jobs nothing big but it performed great. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

1 glaring disappointment
Rating: 4
I love the product. However the instructions that came with it are woefully lacking! After going through the lettered diagrams, the description matching letters are all about safety. At the end of this folder is the statement "before operating, read owners manual". No other operating literature was enclosed. So there is no verbiage explaining the features.

Nice to share batteries
Rating: 3
Finally used this saw. It is heavier than anticipated, which isnt really bad. It does use up the battery rather quickly and the blade included dulled quickly. So, its not great and not poor. The fact that I have other Worx products that Im happy with, and can share batteries with, makes it good.
