For example, the depth of cut in wood reaches 250 mm, and in metal - 120 mm. The handle of the closed type provides comfort and safety during the work. Changing attachments is quite easy thanks to the keyless locking mechanism. According to experts, the model will be the best assistant for home craftsmen, joiners and carpenters. The large weight (3.8 kg) will not allow you to cut branches while holding the saw at arm's length.

In addition to the heavy weight, users are dissatisfied with the quality of interchangeable nozzles, and files from other manufacturers are not always suitable for fastening. It is not very convenient to transport the tool due to the lack of a case in the kit.

When choosing any tool, I want it to be not only reliable, but also convenient. It is this model that the Russian company Whirlwind offers. Despite the budget household segment, there are some options that are more common in expensive, professional models. For example, a soft start that makes work safe. Or an emergency stop, instantly slowing down the canvas at the moment it bites. Well, we can’t even talk about such trifles as lighting and adjusting the sole.

In general, this is the best saw that even a person who has never worked with such a tool can easily handle. In addition, you do not have to buy anything, since everything you need is already in the basic package. Top notch and reliability.Reviews from real users confirm this, and at least the negative is found, but more often it concerns factory defects, so be sure to check the product before buying.

For the home, the functionality of the tool is very important so as not to fill your inventory with many devices that perform almost the same function.

For example, by increasing the speed and changing the position of the sole, you can saw the laminate without carbon deposits or chips on the cut. We change the mode - and now the tool is ready for the dissolution of the plastic lining, which does not melt under the canvas.

In general, a convenient option that will replace several tools in your inventory at once, but only on condition that you have enough 950 watts of power and a cutting height of 105 millimeters. This is not much in comparison with other models, but for most tasks it will be enough. Well, with the appearance of the manufacturer lost. More precisely, there is a feeling that the design is completely forgotten here.

Due to the fact that the Makita DJR187Z reciprocating saw is equipped with a brushless motor that does not require additional maintenance, it has an extended service life that fully justifies the high (compared to competitors) cost.

Feedback from real users is one of the main factors when choosing a product, and it is all the more surprising that it is under this model that most of the comments speak of the highest quality and reliability of the tool. This brand is not popular. It has recently appeared on our market, and before that it was known only in Japan and Asian countries. However, the manufacturer is very popular in his homeland, and there he is praised for his durability and high maintainability. Unlike competitive versions, this reciprocating saw is easy to disassemble, clean and repair.

But you are unlikely to remember about the repair soon. The same customer reviews claim. That the tool can be strained beyond measure, and it will perfectly cope with any most difficult task. In terms of endurance, this is the best reciprocating saw, although it only has 1100 watts of power, which is not much, especially considering that this is a professional electric model and not a frivolous cordless one.

Among professional reciprocating saws Metabo SSEP 1400 MVT can be safely considered the standard of quality and reliability. A careful selection of components, flawless assembly and reliability in operation allow us to speak of this model as one of the best. It is much more comfortable to work with metal or other building material with this saw - the vibration damper removes a serious load on the user's hands.

If you are looking for a professional reciprocating saw that can process not only wood, but also metal, and with an adequate price-performance ratio, then this is the one for you. This is not to say that this is a budget model, but if you read the reviews, it becomes clear that the build quality and components used are of the highest quality.Even under the strongest loads, the tool will work for many years and will not have to be repaired, and this significantly levels the price tag, although it is not initially considered too high.

The brand is famous for the reliability of its products, and it is also praised for the most thoughtful ergonomics. You simply cannot find a tool more convenient to use, where each element works not only for decoration, but also for ergonomics. Well, since the saw is professional, it, of course, has a lot of useful options. There is a soft start. Several degrees of protection, including against biting and overheating. As well as a huge number of settings.

The latch allows you to set the required speed for long-term continuous operation. Cloths change quickly and easily thanks to the keyless mechanism.

To reduce vibration, the manufacturer used rubberized pads, both on the handle and on the body. The power cord also has an additional rubber sheath that remains flexible even in extreme cold. Due to the powerful engine, users were able to cut the hardest materials (metal, foam concrete). Of the shortcomings, there is a lack of illumination of the working area.

Excellent balance and an effective anti-vibration system are noted by users in the professional reciprocating saw BOSCH GSA 1300 PCE.

There are many unknown brands on the market. Chinese nouns, which many try to avoid, since nothing is known about them, and it is impossible to check the quality. There are reviews of real users who nevertheless decided on such a purchase. It was they who caused the saw to get into our rating.

Despite the complete obscurity of the brand, users respond very positively about it. Praised for reliability and quality. Ergonomics and general convenience are noted. Also, the kit already comes with a battery and charger, which is rare for this segment. Yes, the battery capacity is small. But it is universal and suitable for some other tools, and it will not be difficult to find it in stores, including with a higher capacity. Oh, and lots of goodies. It doesn't matter what tasks you plan to perform. A reciprocating saw can do it all. She has a brush cutter, a lopper and several saws, including those for metal.

Before us is the best reciprocating saw in terms of price. You will hardly be able to find an instrument even cheaper. At least if we consider trusted manufacturers and products that buyers flatter about, leaving reviews on marketplaces and specialized sites. This is a very compact, but at the same time quite powerful tool with a special nozzle that comes with the kit. He knows how to work as a brush cutter and as a regular saw. And if necessary, you can leave only the heel and cut flat materials, such as laminate or lining.

Note the convenient form factor. It uses a compact battery, hidden in the handle.It doesn't bulge and weighs very little. During operation, the battery will not interfere with you, but you will have to buy it separately. The manufacturer does not include this module in the package, for which we put a minus. You will also need to purchase a charger. It is not there either, and network charging from the case is not supported here.

A compact reciprocating saw often breaks down. It is difficult to say which task she can do, and which will be excessive. This leads to rapid overheating and failure. But not with this model. Here the manufacturer took the path of maximum security. There are many systems installed on board the instrument. If you suddenly overstress it, the hacksaw will simply stop. The same thing happens with snacking. There is also a special option that allows you to completely discharge the battery. That is, with a minimum charge level, the tool will continue to work in the same mode, and its power will not drop.

Note the thoughtful ergonomics. The handle is covered with a special non-slip material. It fits comfortably in the hand, even if it gets wet. A great option for home and garden. They can cut branches and finishing materials, and even use it in the kitchen to cut frozen meat without waiting for it to completely thaw.

If we are considering a compact one-handed tool, the issue of form factor and weight is very important for it. Now we have the best electric reciprocating saw, as it weighs only 1.2 kilograms and is the lightest among competitors.Unlike most models, it uses a narrow battery that is completely hidden in the handle. It does not need to be removed for charging, and it is enough just to plug the tool into a power outlet. Convenient and practical, but only for those who use the saw for rare jobs and do not drive it constantly.

One charge is enough for about 2 hours of work, and this is at medium loads. By the way, the saw is protected from overload by a special system, as well as from biting. This is important because the heel is plastic and can break easily. And this will be very unpleasant, because the tool itself is not cheap. However, the price tag is greatly offset by the fact that a battery is already included here, and most competitors do not have one.

Most often, a cordless saw comes without a battery. It must be purchased separately, which further increases the already not the lowest price tag. With this model, things are easier. The manufacturer uses a single battery form factor for all of its tools. That is, if you have, for example, a Patriot screwdriver, you can simply remove the battery from it and put it on the saw. This compatibility will help save money, as it makes no sense to keep a lot of batteries in your inventory and constantly charge them, especially if you use a particular tool infrequently.

Also, the advantages of this saw include the presence of auxiliary options. For example, there is a soft start. It is difficult to say how necessary it is in such compact versions, but still.An overvoltage protection is also present, which will protect the model from burning out in case of excessive load if you are sawing an object that is too hard.
