Works great

Great tool

It is a horse power.

This is an awesome saw and thank you whom it may concern.

Only the bare tool and carrying "bag" are specified as what is being shipped. The video shows a Bosch carrying "case", not a "bag" as specified. The video shows product includes an initial set of blades to get started, but none are specified.

I ordered this saw online for a demo project I was going to begin. I knew the cheaper off brand one I had wasn't going to hold up, I was correct. The Bosch RS428 was way more than I expected. I really like how smooth the trigger is, you can really control the speed well. I literally beat the heck out of this saw and it always was ready for more. The original one I had didn't last three hours. I have at least triple that on this one. I think i will be looking at Bosch tools next time I need a replacement.

I love that saw, it has enough power to acomplish everything I wanted. Blades are very easy to replace.

It has more than enough power but after cutting out door headers all day I sure wished it was lighter

No complaints, solid tool!

I needed to demo an old shed and repair another one, so it was finally time to buy a recip saw. I checked reviews here at Home Depot and elsewhere and this one was recommended because its power to weight ratio was good. This tool cuts through wood and nails like butter. Just love it and it's not too difficult for me to hold and operate. I really like the vibration control especially, makes it easy to use for long periods without tiring. Changing blades is so easy, too. Having a reliable tool that's powerful yet easy to operate is a must. I think I'll be using this for a lot of projects! When it arrived I was a little disappointed that it only came in a bag instead of a case, but the bag and zipper are sturdy and hold the saw and blades just fine.

Only used four time so far all on metal (Milwaukee blades) only comes with one wood/nail blade, works great if it last like my Bosch drills I'll never where it out

I Would not recommend this product as described. 1st tool does not have a 12 foot cord as in the product description. 2nd the tool does not weigh 8 lbs as described in the video. When I weighed it, it weighs in at 9.6 lbs. I returned it without using it. There are products with longer warranties, and better features when you look at the 9 to 10 lbs saws for my money.

Bought this saw based on the description of a 8 lb tool. Tool I received weighs in at 9.6 pound without a blade. I was willing to trade the longer warranty for a lighter tool, but this tool weighs basically the same as the others in its class on the market. I will be returning this and purchasing something else.

This saw was given to me for mother's day 2 years ago. It is very powerful and not so heavy that I can't use it for several hours at a time. Considering it is labeled, vibration control, I thought it would viberate less... but still way better than the saw I was using before. I am very happy with this tool.

I have been a contractor in Michigan for 20 years. This is the smoothest saw on the market! I would recommend to anyone! But I wish Bosch knew how important a case was to the guys who work out of a truck 6 days a week. I take very good care of my tools. But that bag is complete garbage! I work in snow rain ice. Gets bounced around in back of truck. I will pay more. I bet your warranty department and has replaced parts and saws that it would not had to if it was in a case! Again great tool! Please give us a case! I depend on these tools and so does my wife and kids!!

Took the place of chainsaw. Maintenance free cutting. Used Diablo 9" pruning blade to make over 500 cuts in 4 hours of bamboo 4-6" thick and 40-80' tall. Anti-vibration made the going so easy just kept going. 2 people 1 57 the other 68. Highly recommended for maintenance free cutting.

I've used the Bosch corded reciprocating saw to cut down framing and walls and old decks during remodeling projecrts. I've used it to cut steel and pvc pipes. I've used it to cut old exhaust systems off F250 trucks. I've used it to cut off deer leg bones and necks. It always cuts fast and never fails. Every handy person should own a Bosch reciprocating saw.

I have used this saw several times. worked the best. would buy again.

Wife bought this for me for xmas. Already used for cutting cabinets and performed amazing. Easy locking blades made changing a snap. The weight of the tool helps with stability as I made horizontal cuts for a dishwasher. You can see and feel the quality. Great carry bag with plenty of room for extra blades. Be sure to get the Bosch blade assortment!

I have used most brands of recips, but I love this Bosch! It is smooth and comfortable to use. I find it a little heavy but that's a good thing. Very powerful and doesnt get hot under hard use. Comes in a nice bag that makes carrying it with accessories quick and easy

I have had my Bosch Sawzall for probably 15 years. It obviously has the power and ability to do any demolition type work, but what has surprised me the most is how accurate and careful you can actually be with this saw. I have actually (I don't recommend it, but I pulled it off) cut openings in lath and plaster walls with this saw that looked like they were done with a razor. If you hold it right and go slow, you can be very accurate and delicate if needed. I have abused this saw over the years. I have attacked huge tree roots in muddy holes out of frustration, when I couldn't get anything else to get a large stump loose. As well as every other task you can ask of a reciprocating saw. It's well balanced, strong, and never gives up.

I own and use Bosch hammer drills with unprecedented reliability. After my 15yr old Sawzall died, I decided to remain with Bosch power tool line up. I was not disappointed. Strong continual power under work load. The vibration dampening is effective. Great performance and durability, so far. I have only owned this tool for 6 months, and I am very pleased with it.

I usually buy a different brand of power tools but saw the great reviews for this saw. I am concerned that it only has a 1 year warranty compared to 3 years for the other brand.

I work for a large Demo company vwhich is one of the best commercial Demo companies and this saw is one we use it has lasted and lasted 6+ months in all kinds of situations from cutting steel to copper in situations with bad air quality like concrete dust in the air it still runs still does the job with regular upkeep. If the lock on the blade sticks just grab the blade and move it back and forth and it locks. We use this saw with 5-10 man crews for, 8-16 hour work days and it performs just as good as the first day bought supurb for home projects or full on interterio demolition.

I bought this saw to replace my 24V Dewalt. This saw is much smoother and powerful. I would recommend this to anyone.

Purchased this on amazon a few months back to replace a 28v Milwaukee cordless one. Love the saw so far. Great ergonomics and vibration control. Tons of power. I mainly use it for cutting vw/audi bodies up while parting them out. Cuts german frame rails like butter.

This saw is excellent. It has more than enough power and is of good quality. I buy a lot of Bosch tools because of these reasons. I wish they would include a hard case with more of their products though. The bags can't be cleaned easily and don't protect the tools as well.

I am remodeling my parents deck and they have this saw that I have been using. its very nice. easy to handle. not very jerky. great running saw
