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!
Rating: 5
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.

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.

M12 Corless Hackzall, Lithium-Ion.
Rating: 5
Nice little hackzall for working in remote areas, and attic or crawl spaces, excellent for plumber o electrical work, and any other uses like tree trimming, or any other stuff that need to be cut, without bundle of extension cords, and LED lights just what every tool need when working in low lighted area or no light at all, I use then as a flashlight and tool, lightweight, compact design, speed, and quality, all in one, and I will definitely recommend this to anyone who need to enjoy working with tools.

Small, light, and easy to use. Would recommend.
Rating: 5
I really like how small and light this thing is for jobs around the house. Much easier to grab than my big corded sawzall for small projects. The battery doesn't last long enough for big jobs, but with a spare you shouldn't have a problem. I have used it to cut wood, metal, plastic, and drywall over the past year and a half. It works great on everything so far. I have the soft bag case for it and the 3/8 drill/driver, but wish there were an option for a hard case for storage.

Great for small projects
Rating: 4
As an Electrician, I bring this little guy in for service call work or the instances when I need just a few cuts. It offers terrific capability in a super small package. If you've got to cut some drywall, make a few cuts in studs or flooring, or you just need a super small tool then this is your go to recip saw. For major remodels I go to my 18V Fuel saws all. My only critisisms after a year of continual use is the amount of vibration the saw produces while trying to cut conduit and the fact that the batteries are very hard to remove from the tool. I had another trades guy tell me he has the same problem. Overall I love the tool and originally thought it would be just a toy. Definately not a toy. Based on my like for this tool I plan to upgrade to the Fuel version. Nice job Milwaukee.

awsome

I purchased this baby because holding my dads big sawzall over my head for a long time while cutting sucked but, now this on is lighter and more mobile and my dad now wants one for himself cause i'm tired of lending him mine for the same thing too bad get your own dad!!

Don't waste your money.
Rating: 1
Use the saw a total of about three hours before motor started cutting in and out and finally it quit all together..thought about getting it repaired until I read the comments about the same problem I had. Decided not to wast the money. I also have the inspection camera that allow me the uses before it quit. Bought another brand and have had no problems. I have most of the other twelve vot Milwaukee tools and have had no problems with them and they get used a lot.

Not durable
Rating: 1
Motor burns up very easily under just moderate use. Runs but then quits working under load. This has happened twice in 4 years. Very disappointed in this Milwaukee tool. Did not expect Black & Decker performance and quality from a Milwaukee tool. Have the other M12 tools and never a problem, love them. Save your money on the Hacksaw - its not a good quality tool

Junk
Rating: 1
The recip saw would be perfect if the motor did not burn up. Sent in the saw for repairs, and it cost almost as much as a new complete kit with case and battery's. The repaired saw has already burnt up within 4 weeks of being rebuilt. If you dont need to use it as a recip saw its great. You might be able to use it as a hammer. the 1/4' impact driver, angle drill, multi tool, 3/8" drill, 1/4" screw gun, Radio, Jig saw and 3/8" driver are good tools to buy. Dont buy the jacket either, it wont last long.
