April 21, 20242 yr Hi folks, I’m in the market for a cordless recip saw and I was wondering if anyone had any good recommendations. Bare units are now good and normally I use DeWalt or Hitachi or whatever they are called now. there seems to be so many and I can’t tell the difference between them. Looking for a battery and charger with them but they seem to be like £300 minimum for that. Am I daft?
April 21, 20242 yr Look out for Hilti on eBay They have been giving them away with fittings and other products Ive a couple Really well made and powerful

April 21, 20242 yr Go for a naked tool that is compatible with the batteries and charger you already have? I bought a used Makita off eBay and it’s had an absolute beating over the last 5 years. Still going strong, just a bit noisier as it’s not as ‘tight’ due to wear & tear, but with what I’ve done to it I’d be happy to buy one once every 12-18 months as it’s earned its money hundreds of times over.

I have an 18v dewalt drill driver. I will need to check compatibility but thank you, that looks unbeatable.
April 21, 20242 yr Stick to a brand really, I use DeWalt for everything and being able to switch the battery is a right bonus. For what its worth I've a cordless DeWalt recip and it's been bullet proof.

April 21, 20242 yr it's compatible yes, but the run time on that 1.3Ah battery will be very limited. The recip saw is a hairy monster of a thing and really needs a 4 or 5Ah battery to support it's needs. /speaking from experience
