this DeWalt saw is awesome, used it for demo in a bathroom, was a breeze, really good product and would recommend to anyone.
Its so useful i dont know why i didnt get one sooner. I thought about buying a cheap chinese one locally for $59.99. I needed a "sawzall" (reciprocating saw) for some home reno's i am in the process of. The local stores sold comparable models for 150-200 so this was a great saving. Instead i got this one for just a little bit more. This unit looked like new when i got it, and so far has worked perfectly without a problem. I dont know if its better or worse than the higher priced models. but it seems to get the job done.
I used my $50 Dewalt rebate for this and am most happy with my $29.99 reciprocating saw. Now Coleman/Powermate.Grrrrrrr. As you can see from my 5 star rating I am impressed with this saw.
I see no signs that this saw is not a new unit. I've had good luck with all my Dewalt Recon tools. I had forgotten that it was a factory reconditioned unit until I decided to read the other reviews.
I even cleaned it up and put it back in its hard-shell box instead of throwing it in the JoBox like I do with my other power tools. First thing out of the box I used the saw to cut a solid piece of 1.5 inch cold roll. I figured if it crapped out I'd just put it back in the box and send it back.
No problems whatsoever. That's a negative (-6) star review.
It doesn't see much action in my line of work, so I bought it on the cheap. I like the way you can orient the blade either vertical or horizontal. But it doesn't have the power (or orbital action) of my 30 year old Porter Cable. Its OK, and has managed to cut a 4-inch cast iron drain pipe.
The quick disconnect is a must, especially when handling hot blades. This isn't a tool that gets a whole lot of use, but sure is useful when doing renovations. Good tool. Lots of power. It is also great for cutting PVC pipe.
