Lasted 4 uses.
I had a Kobalt that lasted 10 years and hundreds of jobs, it failed when the shaft broke. I saw the Rigid and the service warranty and it looked exactly like the Kobalt. So I bought this and noticed it getting hot on the first use. The gear box started getting hot on the second use. On the fourth use it got hot on both ends and then stopped and started making an electrical sound with no motion the motor got stuck.
So I took it back and considered another single handed one but after looking and the shelves were bare of other single handed sawsalls I decided to walk away and wait until the other builders supply I use gets in a new shipment of the 1 handed Kobalts.
Probably the same tool any way just a different color. If Milwaukee had a single handed corded one I might get that one.

Exactly what it says, one handed operation, especially in tight spaces where other hand is needed.

After my air saw kept stalling on automative panels I decided to get something more robust. I bought 24 teeth per inch with it and I'm very happy with it very little burring.

This RECIPROCATING SAW is cheaper then the others plus its size and form helps to have a better grip and is easier to cut trhu everything I recommend this saw more than any other

This sawsalls made it 2 months!
I've had other brands last me years, this saw, though it is handy, fits in tighter places, striped the gears in just a couple of months.
