It broke after a few days but was repairable
3 Stars
It broke after a few days but was repairable
Pros:I bought this for occasional use. I needed a cordless unit and I didn't want to spend a lot.Cons:It has a lot of vibration. The full vibration of the mechanism is transmitted into your hand which holds the rear handle. You don't want to use this saw for more than a few minutes per session.You should use gloves.It broke on me after the 3rd or 4th time I used it. I pulled the trigger and the blade wouldn't move.I took it apart and found the connecting rod was not attached to the blade mechanism. The little clip on top of the link pin had fallen off. The clip looked possibly damaged on top. I bought some new 6mm retaining rings (p/n 90967A110 from mcmaster.com) and managed to put one back on the link pin. My tool is now working again.To see what I'm talking about, go to servicenet.blackanddecker.com and look at the Exploded Art assembly diagram. Zoom in on the middle assembly. Notice the sprocket with gear teeth on it.A "dogbone" (connecting rod) connects the sprocket to the blade holder mechanism. This converts circular motion to vibratory motion. Notice the two link pins sticking out of the dogbone, one on each end. On my unit, the pin on the right side had the upper retaining ring fall off. This allowed the pin to slide down below the dogbone, making the unit fail to operate.I didn't have external retaining ring pliers that were small enough to handle the new clips that I bought. You need pliers with 1mm tips, with no more than 0.5mm separation between the tips.Instead, I inserted some small needle nose pliers into the small part of the clip. I was able to spread the clip apart enough to slip it on the link pin and get it into the groove. The link pin has to be held in place while you do this (requires 3 hands). See the attached photo of the 6mm retaining rings that I bought from mcmaster.

5.0 out of 5 stars for one of the cheapest sawzalls around, it will do everything, even heavy duty for short bursts
Reviewed in the United States on October 25, 2020
Style: Reciprocating Saw, tool onlyVerified Purchase
I purposely bought a low priced one because I won't use it a lot. It will, for short burts and with the absolute best carbide blade available take on heavy duty tasks but I wouldn't recommend it if your tasks are mainly going to be heavy and often. This is really well suited to someone who doesn't need it very often but needs it when they do have a need such as a tree root (to get anywhere very fast here you must use heavy duty carbide blades for clean wood, not the ones for demolition) and can't go very long at a time because factory battery gets too hot. Bought after market longer life 6.0 amp battery and it goes much longer. For routine tasks this is a great tool and feels well balanced and maneuverable. The movable shoe is a feature many more expensive ones lack and changing blades is not only toolless but also super quick. For light duty use I don't see how you could beat this one price-wise or value-wise, especially if you already have a B & D drill or impact driver because the batteries are interchangeable and you can save nearly $30 just buying the sawzall tool itself. For simple tree trimming and other non-heavy duty uses, it works fabulous and as stated will do heavy duty for short time but you can smell the oil heating up after several minutes of heavy duty (very hard tree roots very thick) so if you do that or something similar you simply should pay more up front and get heavier duty like Milwaukee. For the price though, this can't be beat really. Very satisfied overall. Also, as said weight is good, maneuverability is fabulous and changing blades is a cinch. All standard blades work but the carbide Diablo blade designed for clean wood, not demolition, blew away the competition totally on the tree roots and made all the bi-metal blades I had tried before seem like toys and a waste of time which they were. You really need to choosy about blades here because this isn't a tool where you can just take longer with the wrong blade. If you do, you're likely to overheat either the saw or the battery so blade choice is more important I think with this one than a heavier more expensive one. Either battery, the standard 3.0 amp or replacement 6.0 works fine for light and medium duty use.

5.0 out of 5 stars I really like this saw. working great so far.
Reviewed in the United States on January 31, 2017
Style: Reciprocating Saw, tool onlyVerified Purchase
I just got this yesterday and so far I really appreciate this saw and it already has been so useful Im kicking myself going so long without having something like this. I used it to cut up a pile of fallen branches and limbs and this saw was capable and saved me a lot of time and effort I used to spend sawing with the tree saws I have. I then used it to cut up wood planks and 4x4's to the size where the trash guys would take them away. It worked very well and the battery lasted all the time I needed it to and still had power. I have not bought a cordless power tool in years as I had problems with ones I bought a decade ago. The advancements with the batteries is noticeably better to me and Im going to be using the cordless black and decker tools I now have often when needed. Still I find they don't have the power I may need for some things and then use the corded power tools I have. I also have a LDX120 cordless drill Ive been using and like that I also just purchased beginning of this year. I like how I can use the same battery on both. Instructions say its best to leave the battery on the charger even when not used to keep the batteries in best condition and thats fine with me.
So for my needs this saw is great and would recommend it as a tool to have for taking care of sawing tasks. I wouldn't rely on this to cut the rear ends out of Crown victorias like the saws alls I would use when I used to work doing that. We would use more powerful saws to cut though the metal to get them out but it might work? I also got the dewalt blades that amazon sells so now I really am ready to handle all the sawing and cutting tasks I may come across in taking care of the home I live in.

I replaced all my metal water pipes underneath my home with PVC, so I bought this to help me cut thru the old metal water pipes and it worked exactly as it should. It worked great in tight spaces and it also saved my arms using a traditional hacksaw, which would have taken me longer to do. It is a great price point BUT the battery life on these products do not last more than 30 minutes or so, however that does not bother me too much because I have three Craftsman Bolt On batteries that are interchangeable and have ALOT more UMPH to them than the original battery that is used for this product. This product DOES NOT come with a battery, so that might be a big drawback for some. Case in point, good value for the money, does a good job and is holding up VERY well for most of the jobs that I have used it on, such as cutting pipes, wood products such as 2x4, molding, door trim, tree branches, etc....I am a very happy customer but let's face it, all battery powered products have their time limits. CIAO :)

I have a 20+ ft tall palm tree in my front yard that has become a challenge to trim because it keeps getting taller and taller every year. The hand saws and pole saws I used to use when it was only 12 ft are orders of magnitude more difficult or just plain not long enough to reach the top anymore. I tried a chain saw and it was just too heavy and dangerous from the top of my ladder. The thought occurred to me to use my corded reciprocating saw on one of my smaller palms. It worked great, but it was still pretty heavy and the cord was always in the way. I knew there had to be something better, so I did a little research on Amazon. I found this little beauty. It is very light and can easily be operated with one hand. I have several other B&D hand/yard tools, so this fit right in battery-wise too. It came with a 6 in blade, but I got a longer 9 in blade at HF, just to give it a little more reach. It worked like a champ. Melted through those palm branches like a hot knife through butter. Took me less than 10 minutes to trim the whole tree (about 20 branches and 10-15 flower stalks). It's my go-to trimming tool now. Also good for other light cutting jobs. I wouldn't try to cut down a tree or demolish a house with it, but it'll blast through an automotive tailpipe with ease. Best $40 I've spent in a while.

5.0 out of 5 stars I have put this saw through hell

Admittedly, I don't use this saw on a daily basis, but what I have put it through when I do use it is probably the worst you could possibly imagine.

When we trench in new water lines I use this saw to cut away the roots from the trench wall so we can navigate the trench easier. I bury that blade straight into the dirt when I need to. Today I spent eight hours in the bush cutting a single track dirt bike trail - I hate riding a trail full of stumps so when I'm cutting something in the middle of the track I will attack it directly at the roots, again burying that blade in the earth at whatever angle it is that I need to get the job done. This saw has performed flawlessly through all of this abuse. Some people (mainly my Father) claim that Black & Decker isn't a high quality brand... I call BS... this thing is top tier in my books. Puts a smile on my face every time I use it. It's easily one of my favourite tools, and is by far my favourite trail cutting tool. If you tried to achieve what I do with this thing using a chainsaw your chain would be dull in the first 30 minutes of your day. Best tool ever.

Yo la adquirí porque estaba en oferta y porque ya tenía el paquete de taladro y llave de impacto Black & Decker, así que la compré como una adición a mis herramientas inalámbricas de 20V de esta marca. También adquirí en eBay 2 baterías y un cargador adicional, por lo que hoy tengo una batería para cada dispositivo y cuando se agota una se la quito al aparato que no estoy usando mientras se carga.

La sierra la he usado para cortar ramas y troncos de madera dura de un máximo de 12 CM de diámetro. Hace muy buenos cortes y rápidos, no se ve que le falte potencia. Es necesario que le pongan la hoja adecuada, ya sea si es metal o madera, para cortar madera hay unas hojas marca Bosch muy filosas y durables que hacen un excelente corte. No la he usado para cortar tubos de acero, pero como la he visto, no dudo que haga un buen trabajo con los tubos.

Buena adquisición si ya tienes baterías o la compras con batería incluída. Y de hecho es la regla No. 1 al comprar equipos que no incluyen la batería: que ya cuentes con una batería y cargador.

Fast Delivery but there's catch, you wont be able to use it as you have to buy the battery separately.

See: Style Name: Reciprocating Saw, tool only.

It's meant to deceive people who are not aware.
