Detailed Review
The 20V MAX POWERCONNECT 7/8 in. Cordless Reciprocating Saw handles rough cutting tasks across a broad range of everyday materials. Designed for cutting wood, nails, drywall, plaster, plastic, rubber composites, and fiberglass, it provides a versatile solution for general demolition and remodeling work.
Speed control comes from a variable-speed trigger capable of generating up to 3,000 spm of cutting power. A pivoting blade shoe assists with maneuverability, giving you better control when turning the saw or adjusting your cutting angle. Swapping out dull or task-specific blades is straightforward thanks to the tool-free blade change system, while an integrated electric brake stops the mechanism promptly for safer handling.
The main limitation to note before purchasing is that this is a bare-tool unit. It comes with one reciprocating saw blade, but the 20V MAX battery is not included. You will need an existing compatible POWERCONNECT battery to operate the tool.
Verdict: This cordless reciprocating saw is a practical addition for DIYers and homeowners who already own 20V MAX POWERCONNECT batteries. Its lightweight body, electric brake, and multi-material cutting capabilities make it well-suited for fast demolition and repair jobs.

- Prefer a lightweight, compact saw with an electric brake for added control
Consider something else if you:
- Do not own a 20V MAX POWERCONNECT battery and need a complete kit with a power source
- Require a corded saw for continuous power without battery swapping
