Some things to consider when comparing cord vs. cordless: cords are a pain (obviously) and cordless are much more handy and quick when moving around the job site. However, when the cordless rage hit the tool market several years ago, I joined in as well not thinking about battery life and battery replacement costs. If you're a professional, you may wear out a tool before you need to buy any replacement batteries but I'm just a homeowner who needs a tool for an occasional project. Some of my cordless tools are in great shape but have worthless batteries that won't keep a charge. I just bought a new Dewalt reciprocating saw and...it has a cord. I'd rather deal with the inconvenience of a cord than have a tool with a stack of dead batteries. But again, both have pros and cons but for me, cordless wasn't always the best choice. Thanks again for another great video!

I too had the problem of batteries that soon became useless. But then a friend told me to buy Li-on battery powered tools and they are terrific. They hold their charge for over a year and seem much more powerful as well although I realise that that may be just newer technology. Cheers

My corded drill is around 40 years old and still going strong (home use). Now that is cost effective, wouldn't give that up, does what I need (variable speed, reversible, hammer action). Also have a cordless drill for convenience and light work (wood, screwdriver bits). But when it comes masonry and metal, out comes 'Ol Faithful' 😁. I'll probably go for a corded reciprocating saw for reliable, occasional use.

i've also learned that not only do batteries quit holding a charge, but they change the design of them, so that you can't go back later and buy replacements for your old ones; they deliberately WANT you to spend money to buy the brand new (at present) MODEL, UNTIL -THOSE_ QUIT HOLDING A CHARGE. it makes me angry that they are forcing us into buying all new ones, INTENTIONALLY, knowingly. i also have tools that are decades old. i inherited my father's shop when he died. corded will not fail you, nor force you into new purchases you didnt want to make.

As you began your cutting my compliments to the editor for turning down the sound. My finger was on the computer mute button, good news I did not need to mute. It is the little things that make your video a pleasure to watch and learn from.

Tip: With metal blades through metal, go really slow. The heat is what ruins the teeth. If you go slow, blades last a lot longer. Also, there are some cool features these days like "auto stop". When the blade finishes cutting through a material it will stop so you don't accidentally stab yourself in the eye or something.

removing a difficult soffet in a kitchen remodel was made super easy with my Oscillating saw, able to reach up in there and cut the nails that otherwise would have made it impossible to remove. Well, impossible to remove without also removing half the ceiling. They used full sized timbers in there. 9 inch soffet made with friggin 2x8's that thing was seriously strong.

I was cutting rebar with my battery powered yellow recip saw after setting it in concrete. For some reason it just didn't have the power to do the repetitive cuts that I needed it to do. I ended up buying a corded recip saw. My corded green recip saw was the goto for real work from then on. You probably have newer battery operated saws, and more batteries on hand, than I do.

That and the 9.0 battery. Home Depot has a great kit called the 9.0 starter kit and you get the bare tool rapid charger and 9.0 bat for 250$ usd. They only have it for the sawzall and circ saw.

I dig a perimeter around the stump until the roots are exposed and then use the saw to cut off the roots lifting the stump out. Then, I continue to dig my hole and as the roots get more exposed, I use the saw to cut them out. I don't worry about the blades going into the dirt, just switch out the blades as I need to. Surprisingly, its pretty easy with smaller trees and brush. I wouldn't do a large oak with one of these, though you could. I'm one of those rare individuals that actually like doing this type of work ;-). If you dig enough holes, there is actually a very good method you'll develop and rhythm to it that provides you with really good exercise as well as the feeling you're actually accomplishing something most people don't want to do. Post holes though with roots are another issue and I don't enjoy those whatsoever. I'd also recommend the Fiskers all steel shovel. It's heavy but great for digging large holes. It's a beast.

Thanks for another good one! I haven't used one yet but I am looking for one for an upcoming renovation project. Perhaps you can help me with the following questions: - How to select the length of the blade? - How to select the speed? - I see that you are using pull cut blades only. Are there any push cut blades available, similar to my jig saw? Or is that a no go area? - I am an amateur user, hence I don't need a professional device that will be used 5 days a week all year long. I'll probably use it for two or three days and then it will get boxed for the rest of the year. Are there any brands to avoid? Brands you recommend, other than the yellow brand?
@HouseImprovements
@HouseImprovements 7 жыл бұрын
blade length is generally based on the cutting situation you have I use 6" blades 75% of the time but some longer ones are useful also. Most times full speed is what you will use but slower speeds cutting metal helps reduce heat build up and extends glad life. Pull only, a push cut would make it "buck" like crazy and tough to hold on to and control For cordless I would go with whatever brand you already have batteries for, you can buy just the bare tool very cheap. For corded most major brands have a lower end saw available as well. As far as ones to avoid , I can not really say, yellow and red are all I have owned.

@Reva Stephens: A jig saw usually has a pull cut blade. This type of blade cuts while it is pulled towards the machine. In the process it also pulls the machine's foot against the material. This is the safest option. However, the top of the board often has tear out. In some cases you rather have the tear out on the bottom of the board. That is where you use a push cut blade. The problem is that you need to push hard on the jig saw because the blade wants to push the machine away from the board. From the answer Shannon gave me, I take that a reciprocating saw has too much power and the blade is too long to safely use a push cut blade (should it exist at all).

i have questions about the 12 volt vs 20 volt batteries. for instance, i assume using a 12 v battery in a tool designed for 20 v will give a weak, non robust performance. or does the battery just wear out and need recharging sooner? would putting a 20v battery on a 12 v tool burn out the motor? do they make saws where you can use either 12v or 20 v, depending on how tough the job is? i have cordless drills that i keep 2 batteries for, one in use, the other on the charger, so i can swap out batteries if the one in use runs down. i wonder this same question about my drill batteries, but it applies to all cordless tools.
@HouseImprovements
@HouseImprovements 2 жыл бұрын
I cant say for sure but there would be draw backs to using batteries that do not provide the correct voltage other than what the tool is designed for . Performance and excess wear on the tool would factor in for most items. There are some items without motors that I know of in the Milwaukee line that can accept different voltage batteries lie some radios and lights .At this point I do not know of a tool line that has interchangeable battery types for tools like drills and saws that have motors.

second question: do they make a second handle, that can go around the forward hand grip? it seems the makers always assume male hands will be gripping the forward handle, but female hands arent ususally big enough to get all the way around that grip!!! not all of us have a guy around to take over!. i know it's designed to let you cut in, close, practically flush, but what would be good to make an auxiliary grip? for smaller hands to hold the forward part?

Clamp the wood to the saw horses and use two hands on the recip. saw. It takes some time to get used to controlling it.

Place the shoe of the saw against the branch and cut. You can rock the saw a bit if you want to.

Can you use a saw saw to cut the nails in a electric ceramic gang box? Box is broken and want to change gang box because screw holes broken on old ceramic box. Box is definitely not metal or plastic. Old 1962 home. Then I will put newlocking plastic type gang box.

Great video but I think that some of these techniques could go pear shaped if your not careful

it seems to me that recip saws are not suitable to cut curves, but jigsaws are? why is that so? i have one of each but no one has taught me how to use the jigsaw. they seem similar to me but designed for different purposes. can you explain?

Both saws can cut circles but jig saws are easier to control and usually will do a nicer job. For the most part recip. saws are designed with demolition in mind 1st ly and jig saws are meant more for finer work.

The two are similar but a reciprocating saw is not made for fine work really, but it may do in a pinch.

Can you do a video on cutting studs with sawzalls I've heard that if you cut them on a sharp angle it won't pitch the blade and bind up. I see this as bs since if it's going to close on you why shouldn't it happen cutting on a angle vs horizontally though it. You don't have to do a vid if you already know the answer.
