A reciprocating saw can cut a 4x4, but it will take some time and effort. The saw will need to be set at a high speed and the blade will need to be very sharp.
A reciprocating saw is a power tool that can be used for a variety of tasks, including cutting through wood, metal, and plastic. While it can be used to make straight cuts, it is not the ideal tool for this purpose. If you need to make a straight cut, it is best to use a saw with a guide, such as a circular saw or a jigsaw.
There is no one-size-fits-all answer to this question, as the tools that professionals use vary depending on their specific trade and what type of work they are doing. However, when it comes to general contractor work, DeWalt and Milwaukee are two of the most popular brands. Both brands offer a wide range of tools and power equipment that can handle most any job, and both have a reputation for being durable and reliable. Ultimately, the decision of which brand to use comes down to personal preference, as both DeWalt and Milwaukee offer high-quality tools that will get

I've just begun converting my collection of electric tools from the past 15 years to the Milwaukee 18V. I have experience in a variety of building industries that have required a wide range of tooling, and I studied quality in manufacturing. After initial use, these instruments have proven to be of exceptional quality for the price. I have received a few defective items (different tools, and from eBay), but every single one that has been fantastic right out of the box. I am examining a number of Milwaukee products because I am switching from the incredibly uncommon 20V Craftsman Professional Red/Black/Silver series, which I think was practically unbeatable when it was launched but was only produced for a short period of time. Review of this utility can be found below.When the battery is fitted, this tool has a respectable balance point right out of the box. For one hand, the power feels good. To avoid having to remove nails from a board before cutting the boards, I went right after some nails. With both fabrics, it sliced effortlessly.Recommend as of October 6, 2018. If I discover any benefits, problems, or faults, I'll update.

I'm really happy with this product. seems to be well-made and designed. similar to the weight of a medium-sized cordless jigsaw in terms of feel. The pivot point's ability to slide somewhat with jigsaw cuts was one pre-purchase worry. There is no head play in either reciprocating or jigsaw mode. uniformly pivots and firmly locks in. Strong motor and battery. Smooth and precise variable speed (depending on percentage of trigger pull). The only application to yet has been the jigsaw cutting of 1/8" 6061 aluminum pieces (jigsaw mode). Despite having purchased a set of blades from a different manufacturer, the Worx aluminum blade that came with the tool functioned flawlessly. Blades for jigsaws and reciprocating saws both lock in firmly. There is no shading and the light beams brightly on the cutt. I haven't used it long enough to make a battery life judgment.Two complaints, but they are minor. small and compact in size. There isn't much room to see your cut clearly, and because I'm right-handed, the blade lock also gets in the way occasionally. The location of the safety switch is the other. During normal operation, it doesn't align with your hand or finger, so I have to extend a little with my right knuckle to activate it, moving my finger a little away from the trigger. It's not like you have to hold it down the entire time; it locks once the trigger is pulled and the button is hit.

My Milwaukee fuel drill and impact wrench, which are far superior to my previous cordless drills, already came with the m12 batteries. However, this tool is also quite good. For the first time, I used it to open a padlock for which I had lost the key, and it didn't even take a minute. I was able to control the saw with one hand while holding the lock steady with the other. I would have needed two hands only to hold the reciprocating saw if I had used my full-sized model. My trees can be pruned perfectly with the help of a pruning blade. I'm glad I purchased it.

I've never used a reciprocating saw before. I bought it in an effort to make pruning tasks on my 0.5-acre land simpler. I've used hand loppers and hedge trimmers in the past, but I needed something more powerful to clip longer limbs from fruit trees and bushes. Additionally, I needed something to utilize when making straightforward planters out of pallet wood for my garden.I observed a saw that was missing its battery and charger. The price of this package, which includes all three along with a starter blade, would have been more had you purchased the required 20V battery, charger, and saw separately. I therefore purchased this set together with 12 "For my pruning projects, I use DeWalt pruning shears.All of the parts were included in the unit's well-packaged delivery. There are adequate but not outstanding instructions. If you've used these kinds of hand tools previously, there shouldn't be any difficulty; nonetheless, some people may be perplexed by the illustrations (especially the ones for inserting the blade and locking it in place). You can put it together quickly if you read carefully and take your time because there aren't many components. For safety reasons, I would advise AGAINST placing the battery on the saw before installing the blade.My BD 20V drill is compatible with that battery, therefore it also powers this device. When I began sawing, I was a little worried that the battery would run out quickly, but I'm delighted to say that it lasted longer than I did when using the tool! Very happy with the performance of the equipment and battery.Straight cuts against the plate with the piece of wood you're intending to cut up against it will be the simplest. You get roughly 4-5" of saw blade with the provided blade, which will easily cut through 2.5" limbs. A flip lock on the left side, close to the blade, secures the blade in the saw.With the battery attached, the total weight is close to 12 pounds. It didn't hurt me to use it, even though I was using it after about 40 minutes and am a quite fit 50-year-old woman. Given the size and weight of the tool, I believe most users would find it to be comfortable. It's easy to operate, and you should be able to get a lot of good usage out of it as long as you are mindful of its limitations and take the bare minimum of safety precautions (wear eye protection, saw away from you rather than toward your body or feet, etc.).NOTE: Black

Updated on August 31, 2017: I'm still going strong and now strongly support cordless power tools. Extension cords are difficult to refuse since technology has advanced so quickly—better batteries, better equipment. Security is the only need, and it must be ensured that these tools don't "walk away." A wonderful time!I'll go to my corded sawzalls for big demo work, but this tool is great for little jobs. The absence of extension cords is a big benefit. The corded Super Sawzall offers an option between straight reciprocal and elliptical action, while this saw only employs elliptical motion, which is more forceful and cuts faster but may also throw you around when cutting hard materials like steel. Overall, I'm satisfied with it. A multitool and several additional cordless Milwaukee tools have been included.

I recently purchased this to replace my really outdated Craftsman reciprocating saw. Since 1990, my old saw had done me well, but it was getting worn out, difficult to change blades on, and no longer had the same amount of power.After perusing a number of reviews, I chose this saw. The blade change mechanism was much better, it had the power I needed, and the majority of reviews were really positive.I hadn't used it until tonight, save from testing it when it first arrived. Prior to a total kitchen redesign, I had to remove a set of kitchen sink faucets. I made the decision to use the new saw since all of the cabinets had to leave tomorrow. WOW. It completed the task faster than my previous saw could have by setting the blade. In less than a minute, I had removed the drop-in sink by cutting through the counter front. Although the saw is incredibly strong, it is also very easy to control. I was overjoyed.To be really honest, I like Skil and Bosch tools, but I also have Porter Cable, Hitachi, and Makita tools in my collection.

The Dewalt DWE305 12 Amp Corded Reciprocating Saw is the subject of this review.This was purchased to swap out a battery-operated model.We've discovered that using batteries for power tools is generally a bad idea unless you absolutely need it to be operable at a location where you simply could not ever manage to get an extension cord. Tools operate like flashlights rather than operating at full power until the battery ultimately dies on you as your phone does. At first it's quite strong, but it simply keeps getting weaker and weaker. Rechargeable batteries do degrade after numerous charging cycles, which some consumers might not be aware of. According to my observations and what I have read, the battery only retains half its initial charge after a few hundred charges. As a result, it is at most a half-functional tool. It doesn't even need to be charged that frequently because over time, it always does the same thing.You have all the strength you need at all times when you're on a cord. For a tool like this, that is a top priority. If you need to cut through tree limbs, metal, or concrete, a reciprocating saw is not a flashlight. Half dead won't do. So choose corded.This has a turning head, which is fantastic. That has to do with safety. You don't have to hold it awkwardly or run the danger of messing up or injuring yourself to try a different angle.It's a Dewalt, so of course it's lightweight but sturdy. It isn't difficult to use, but it isn't very laborious either.Be advised that there are no blades included with this saw. You should purchase a pack. Just in case this is a gift, I wanted to make sure you were aware. There is nothing worse than giving a gift and having the recipient go out and purchase something to use it, am I right?I've read responses to questions on this site about Amazon that reference a case or canvas bag. I guess I missed out as mine was just a regular package. But that's okay. I detest how insignificant additions raise prices or compromise the quality of the core item in order to cover the cost of the extras that are promoted as selling factors. I'll buy any extras myself, please, or I might as well not bother.In conclusion, you should get this reciprocating saw.

I needed a reciprocating saw for a home improvement project and knew I needed this because I normally use an 18V DeWalt saw at work and wanted to expand my personal collection of 20V DeWalt tools. The greatest functional differences (apart from 18V to 20V) between this saw and the 18V I use at work are the 4 position blade holder that enables even more flush cuts and a little more adjustability out of the shoe.I've cut bolts, angle iron, flat stock made of aluminum, Telespar, and other types of dimensional lumber (the square sign post with all the holes in it). Perhaps it's just in my head, but the 18V I've used seems to have a smoother cut stroke. The 4.0Ah batteries I recently bought are wonderful for this saw and allow me to go up to a week been charges (at least with my use). The 4.0Ah batteries also perfectly balance out the weight of the saw. I originally only had the 1.5Ah 20V batteries, which would barely last for a few dozen cuts at best.Please remember that this is a basic tool. Just an excellent saw ready to accept your existing 20V batteries—no batteries, charger, or blades needed. Although I've had wonderful experience using DeWalt, Milwaukee, and Bosch blades, your results may vary.

To cut some hardened bolts I wanted to cut, I got this saw. These bolts were supporting steel targets. After being struck a few times with a powerful gun, they stopped falling off in any other way. Using a common hacksaw blade, the saw did an excellent job cutting the bolts. Reviewers who claimed that regular blades couldn't be used were wrong.Mother Nature then dropped a tree in the yard because she thought I wasn't exercising enough. The saw saved the day. I was able to remove the yard's limbs on a single battery charge and then chop them into manageable pieces for removal. enough power for one battery charge.The best buy I've made so far this year is this saw. I bought a Black
This is a difficult question to answer because it depends on the saw and the manufacturer. Some reciprocating saws need oil, while others do not. It is best to consult your saw's owner's manual to be sure.
While the size of the branch that a reciprocating saw can cut depends on the model of the saw and the strength of the person using it, most reciprocating saws can cut branches that are up to 12 inches in diameter. Some of the larger, more powerful models may be able to cut branches that are even larger than this. So, if you need to cut a branch that is bigger than 12 inches in diameter, you may need to look for a saw that is specifically designed for cutting larger branches.
A reciprocating saw is a versatile power tool that can be used for a variety of tasks around the home, workshop or jobsite. When choosing a reciprocating saw, it is important to consider the size and power of the motor to ensure it is suitable for the intended application. For most general purpose applications, a saw with a motor that produces between 3 and 5 amps of power should be sufficient. For more demanding tasks such as cutting through thick metal or concrete, a saw with a higher power motor will be required. When choosing a reciprocating saw, it is also
The thickness that a reciprocating saw can cut depends on the blade that is being used. Some blades are designed to cut through thicker materials than others. The thickness of the blade will also determine how fast the saw can cut through the material.
A 10 amp reciprocating saw is powerful enough for most jobs. It can cut through wood, metal, and plastic.
A brushless reciprocating saw is a saw that uses a brushless motor. The main advantage of a brushless motor is that it is more efficient than a brushed motor. This means that the saw will run for a longer time on a single charge.
