Review: Exactly what I was looking for - I was looking for a change as my Porter Cable tool was showing its age as well as it was not lasting long enough (old technology). Having used SKIL power tools for a while now (both corded and cordless) and having invested in their batteries, I got this SKIL 20V Compact Reciprocating Saw. Upon arrival and unpacking it, I took it right a way for a spin. Oh boy, was I pleased with it. Now I have my SKIL batteries showing how much charge I have left the tool. Also, it last much longer than my older Porter Cable. In short, I am very happy with it and I see many good days ahead with it.
Review: As Powerful as a Corded Reciprocating Saw - I have several 20V Skil products that have all impressed me (hence the purchase of the Bare Tool version) and this Skil Reciprocating saw is no exception. I tested the saw while cutting through a piece of hard maple with the provided blade. The saw effortlessly cut through the hard maple. I have attached a video of this test. The 20V motor is powerful. I felt it was as powerful as the corded 115vac saw I have. It will be rare when I have to use the corded reciprocal saw vs the Skil. The blade is easy to install and remove without the need for any tools. Just a twist of the locking mechanism to open or lock the blade in. The blade is held very securely. I love it when required tools are integrated into a hand tool and in this case there is a Allen wrench mechanically attached that is used to adjust the throat length.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ powerfull
*by T***M on August 20, 2024*

Have all of the Skil 20 volt tools including the reciprocating saw. I have an old Milwaukee corded (1976) that still works but this saw (Skil) really is strong. Have alot of 2 ah batteries but a 4 or 6 ah battery would work better,no need to change as often, but great tools!
