Title: Housewife's reciprocating saw
Product review: If you need a light tool, for SMALL jobs, and don't want, or are initmidated by, a full-size reciprocating saw, then this is perfect for you. It's marketed as a jigsaw, but is completely useless as one. The blade guard makes it impossible to see where your cutting line is, even when I installed the blade upside down it was hard to see because of the sawdust accumulation. Also, the battery drains too quickly, 1/4" mdf kicked this saw's butt in less than 20 mins. Having to hold the safety makes the grip awkward for long cuts, and because of how light the tool is the battery's location makes it unbalanced. Good for cutting small pipes, pruning small branches, and other quick and dirty cuts, bad for any serious work
