Reciprocating Saw

Reciprocating saws, also called sabre saws, cut with a straight blade that moves back and forth. They are demolition and rough-cutting tools, used by renovation crews, plumbers, electricians and landscapers to cut pipes, nailed lumber, metal studs, branches and openings in walls.

How to choose a reciprocating saw

• Power: 850W to 1100W saws handle most renovation work. 1200W and above suit heavy demolition and thick timber.
• Corded or cordless: corded saws run all day for demolition. 12V, 18V and 20V cordless saws are easier to carry around a site and up ladders.
• Size and weight: compact one-hand models fit between studs and under sinks. Full-size saws are steadier for long cuts.
• Blade change: tool-free blade clamps make it quick to swap between wood and metal blades.

Choosing the right blade

The blade matters as much as the saw. Use fine-tooth blades such as the Bosch S1122BF for metal, coarse wood blades such as the S1111K for timber and pruning, and wood-and-metal blades for nailed lumber. Special carbide blades cut aerated concrete. See all reciprocating saw blades, compare cordless reciprocating saws, or choose a jigsaw for neater curved cuts.
