Bosch’s small batteries give this tool a compact silhouette, and its handy level gauge lets you know how much juice is left as you work. I’ve personally used this tool during a complicated ceiling replacement project, and found the light weight and short body perfect for reaching into and accessing tight and awkward areas. Plus, the Metabo warranty covers the body of the tool for life. Its 20-volt motor delivers just as much power as larger tools, though its 1.5-Ah battery means it won’t last nearly as long as the 3.0- or 5.0-Ah options. I’ve been using reciprocating saws for years as a residential and commercial carpenter, and kept this hands-on experience in mind when assembling this list. Included, you’ll find a wide variety of models from brands I’ve come to trust over the years.
Its dual triggers also allow you to use the pistol-style trigger or paddle option, depending on how you’re holding it. The most valuable part of this kit is the two included batteries, which let you to keep an extra one charging while you work.

During this process, operators experienced binding of the saw. This caused the blade to become hot, causing the sawdust collected in the chip collector to smoke. Care should be exercised to use the appropriate blade for the application, operator training, and personal protective equipment . Personal noise sampling indicated that neither worker was over the Occupational Safety and Health Administration’s Action Level of 85 decibels with time-weighted averages (TWA’s) of 69.1 and 68.8 dBA. The personal noise sample taken during the special demonstration with the stainless steel plate had a TWA of 69.8 dBA. These data are not entirely representative as they were gathered during a simulation and not at the actual worksite.
Please do not hesitate to reach out to our team If you have any questions. Due to an influx of orders with the upcoming Holidays and we are currently running around 5+ weeks for processing and dewalt reciprocating saw production.
