Reciprocating Saws

Reciprocating saws power through demolition work, pruning and metal cutting.  Their variable speed triggers and orbital settings adapt the cut to wood, plastic or metal.  Quick change blade clamps allow rapid swaps between different blade types.

What is a reciprocating saw used for?
A reciprocating saw is a powerful demolition tool used for cutting through wood, metal, plastic, drywall, pipes, and even nails. It’s ideal for renovation, demolition, pruning, and tasks where fast, rough cuts are more important than precision. Its straight, back-and-forth blade action makes it excellent for cutting in tight or awkward spaces.

Why choose a corded reciprocating saw over a cordless one?
Corded reciprocating saws offer constant, uninterrupted power, making them better suited for long-duration tasks, heavier materials, and continuous demolition work. They also tend to deliver higher power output at a lower cost and are preferred in workshops or job sites with easy access to mains electricity.

What features should I look for in a corded reciprocating saw?
Key features include:

  • Variable speed trigger for better control

  • Tool-free blade change system for quick blade swaps

  • Adjustable shoe for depth control and better stability

  • Ergonomic grip and anti-vibration design for comfort during extended use

  • Orbital action setting (on some models) for faster woodcutting performance
    Always choose blades suited to your material—bi-metal for metal, carbide-tipped for demolition, and coarse-tooth for wood.
