Reciprocating Saws (63 items found)

While most saws are primarily used to make precise cuts, reciprocating saws are typically used to make rough cuts or to handle demolition projects. They deliver plenty of torque to the blades, quickly powering through harder materials like wood, plaster, masonry, metal, drywall and stucco. Find the right reciprocating saw for your needs at Ace, including the Sawzall tool from Milwaukee and more.

Different Reciprocating Saw Models

Popular for demolition, plumbing, construction and electrical projects, a reciprocating saw is perfectly suited for rough cuts or projects where accuracy isn't a main concern. Due to its lightweight construction and easy maneuverability, a reciprocating saw is an ideal choice for working in tight spaces, with corded and cordless models commonly available.

Cordless Reciprocating Saw

A cordless battery-powered reciprocating saw allows you to move from jobsite to jobsite without much restriction. It is a popular option for battery-operated models that let you make quick cuts without the hassles of dealing with a power cord. When the power begins to drain on your battery-powered reciprocating saw, simply charge the battery so you can get back to work.

Corded Reciprocating Saw

A corded reciprocating saw is a great option for those whose primary goal is to maintain fast and powerful cuts. Corded models are often more lightweight than cordless designs because they don’t carry the weight of a battery. A corded reciprocating saw will offer nearly unlimited run time if you have access to an electrical outlet near your workspace.

Key Reciprocating Saw Features

When searching for the right reciprocating saw, consider the types of projects you might be performing. For example, a smaller battery-powered reciprocating saw might be best suited for overhead tasks such as cutting branches or pruning trees. A larger model may be an ideal fit for heavy-duty projects such as cutting through pipes.

Explore all the available features when purchasing a reciprocating saw, including the following:

• Variable speed: Designs with variable speed controls allow for greater consistency and precision. They also let users select the appropriate speed based on the type of material being cut.
• Stroke length: Reciprocating saws feature a range of stroke lengths. The longer the stroke length, the faster the cutting action.
• Tool-free blade changes: If you work with multiple types of materials or handle many different projects regularly, a saw equipped with tool-free blade change technology lets you replace blades more quickly.
• Brush vs brushless:While brushed motors are more affordable, brushless motors offer longer life and increased efficiency.
• Electric brake: An electric brake reverses the flow of electricity to the saw motor to help stop the saw in a couple of seconds.
