      Good for light duty work
      Great saw for small jobs, but not for heavy duty work. My guys used for a couple days for roughly 4-5hrs a day and it started smoking. Not a bad products just not for what we do.

      Reciprocating Saw
      I bought this unit to replace a battery powered saw that had stopped working. It feels solid and worked well when I used it to remove a door at the house.

      Box includes a wood cutting blade, for anything else you'll need to buy separately.

        Handiest RIP saw I've ever purchased
        [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this last week and I'm using it around my house as I am replacing trim on the outside and remodeling inside my home. I've used it every day. It is compact but cuts great and it isn't so heavy that you get tired using it for extended periods of cutting.

            Great product
            [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] When I bought this tool I did not think I would use it as much as I have. I find this being my go to for any cutting job I come across now. Love it

              Works great!
              [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Bought this for my first DIY project and it was great. I do agree with other reviews I saw and get a new blade for it. Other than that it was easy to use and worked great!

                  Will no longer move the blade. I used a handful of times and it has broken within a 9 months. Don’t buy

                    Perfect for what I’m using it for. I can see how a cordless unit could be advantageous and more mobile for the professional but for this corded saw is perfect for this homeowner.

                    I’m having a hard time believing this was only 12 amps. Felt darn near closer to 14. Also it was wise of Ryobi to call this a reciprocating saw because when I first pulled the trigger it ciprocated and sure enough it then ciprocated again.

                    Great Tool
                    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After working hours with a little hand saw to cut down shrubs, I purchased this saw. I was able to finish the job in minutes with this excellent product. Happy it wasn't too heavy for this 80 year old women!

                      Removed a large limb from a road
                      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this about 8 months ago. Used it a few times. Then we were in TN visiting and a terrible wind storm came up. A short time later we found that a 14 foot limb had fallen partly blocking the road. In about 30 minutes it was in small pieces and we were able to drive by.
