Skil15 Amp Heavy Duty Reciprocating Saw-SPT44-10

Got it on sale. I don’t need a sawzall except once in a while. This one was not super expensive but still heavy duty.

Saw has plenty of power compared to what it’s replacing. Pretty smooth cutting with low vibration. I abused it for a week straight cutting railroad ties for a retaining wall. A lock button would have been helpful but I guess I missed that it the description. Wear gloves. This baby gets hot. Nice saw.

This SkilSaw SawzAll is truly a beast and very very powerful which is exactly what is needed for contractor and demolition work.My only complaint about this SawzAll is that brand new out of the box I used it to cut down some wooden deck stairs that were attached to my backyard deck and issue number one is that the trigger switch locked in place and I had to really work at pressing the trigger switch in order to get the SawzAll to stop which is a very serious safety issue because power tools must stop once the trigger switch is released.Issue number two is that the dial which controls the cutting speed of the of the SawzAll will not stay at the number when the number is dialed in.I called Skil and the customer service is excellent,the Skill customer service agent was extremely patient and paid close attention to my explanation of the issues that I am having with the SkilSaw SawzAll and assured me that my issues would be resolved.I have worked with contractors since I was sixteen years old doing carpentry,plumbing and renovations and I have always needed a good SawzAll.I am sixty two years old now going on sixty three years of age and I can tell you in all honesty that I know the difference between a good SawzAll and a great SawzAll and the SkilSaw SawzAll is most definitely a great SawzAll.I used to buy Milwaukee SawzAlls but Milwaukee seems to have disregarded the quality with which they used to manufacture the Milwaukee SawzAlls.I do not understand why Milwaukee does not take the same pride in manufacturing the Milwaukee Sawzalls because Milwaukee charges more then enough for their SawzAlls so I do not and will not ever buy Milwaukee SawzAlls ever again.If you need a heavy duty SawzAll then this is the Sawzall that you should buy because it is very well made and the SkilSaw SawzAll is truly heavy duty,the SkilSaw SawzAll is all business and no excuses.I cut through the nail embedded four by fours posts and the two by twelve inch stringers on the the old deck stairs that were attached to my backyard like if they were made of balsa wood.The deck stair wood was not rotted out,what happened is that who ever made the backyard deck and deck stairs failed to install a concrete slab/concrete footings for the deck stair posts to rest on and instead rested the deck stair posts on the bare soil which caused the deck stairs to start sagging and pulling apart as the soil under the deck stair posts settled over the years.If you fail to use the proper saw blades for the materials that you are cutting thinking to save money on the saw blades that's all on you and nothing to do with the quality and performance of this SkilSaw SawzAll.I used to own a Milwaukee Super SawzAll and from my own personal experience through the years of using SawzAlls this SkilSaw SawzAll beats the Milwaukee Super SawzAll both in price and performance.

Bought this to cut medium size trees and large tree roots. It performed impressively with the proper blade and cut speed. There is definitely much less vibration which makes it a pleasure to use. Never thought I would say that about a reciprocating saw. I'm a believer in the buzzkill technology. This is the one to get if looking for a corded reciprocating saw. It tends to be on the heavy side, but not overly so.

Durability don't know yet. Just used it today. Unless your the hulk you won't be using this thing all day.Buzzkill tech does eliminate most of the vibrations while using this device. I prefer the lever on the side of the sawzall other than the knob on this model to twist then insert the blade. This can be a bit of a challenge with sweaty hands. I don't know if the sawzall is supposed to get as hot as it did. Never failed but has me concerned on longevity. Long cord was a welcome change along with the variable speed control with the trigger. Harder you pull the faster it goes. Slow wiggle to get a cut started to full out OMG this thing is awesome! Highly recommend. Came well packaged and fast delivery.

It cuts better than the craftsman that I have. It doesn't vibrate, which is important when doing a long project. Cutting a tree is tough work, but not with this saw.

Very good tool. I'm not a contractor but have many uses for it.

This is really heavy. Feels like a quality product in your hand. Feels like it will last a long time. Much better than what you find on retail mega stores.

This saw doesn't have features like and adjustable shoe or a rotating head or handle but for raw power, this will get the job done. It's a well built tool that feels good in the hands and the "buzzkill" really does reduce the vibration noticeably for a recip saw. For the price, it's hard to beat. Skil, if you're not going to give us features or blades, a bag for the tool would be really nice. That aside, it's a worthwhile addition to my tool collection.

Esta es una excelente sierra sable basica. Aunque no cuenta con algunas caracteristicas avanzadas de otras sierras, si tiene igual o mayor potencia que la mayoria de ellas por un precio mucho menor. Por otro lado la tecnologia buzzkill realmente reduce mucho la vibracion que es tan comun con estas maquinas, eso si, al costo de aumentar un poco el peso de la maquina, pero a mi juicio creo que es un trueque que vale la pena.

Estoy muy impresionado para bien. En realidad no vibra media madre, a pesar de lo pesadita que está creo que a la larga ese peso ni se siente comparado con lo que cansaría absorber toda la vibración. Corte unas llantas de carro como agua. Con el pack de seguetas dewalter variadas una excelente compra. La recomiendo bastante. Les debo la foto pa la otra.

Fully meets my expectations.

Va super bien
