This saw is a game-changer! Powerful, lightweight, and perfect for DIY projects. The battery lasts long, and the tool-free blade change is super convenient. Cuts through wood, metal, and PVC effortlessly. Great value for the price—highly recommend for home repairs and renovations. BLACK+DECKER delivers reliable performance yet again!

Used it for cutting down small trees (4" or so), and it worked reasonably well. It can shake quite a bit, so be prepared for that (I ended up with a blister on my thumb). The blade also jammed up in the trunk more than I'd like, but that could be me (first time I've used one). I' be using it for the same purpose and for cutting up the [small] logs on fallen trees and thicker branches. Cutting speed was not quick; I was cutting oak.

Good quality. Easy to use, powerful, nice clean cuts! Decent price. You can’t go wrong with this saw. 100% satisfied.

Woo hoo! This BLACK+DECKER BDCR20C 20V MAX Reciprocating Saw with Battery and Charger works a charm to keep my trees and bushes pruned and more.I am an aging woman and an avid DIYer. I have a fairly large property with many, mature trees and vegetation. I already own a couple of corded Sawzall reciprocating saws and find them indispensable but they are large and unwieldy in tight places. And managing the extension cord is a huge pain when getting on the roof to trim back branches. Since I already own a number of 20V, cordless, Black+Decker tools so I have extra batteries, I decided to buy this saw.First of all, the saw is much lighter than the corded reciprocating saws I already own. I liked that but I also worried it wouldn't be powerful enough to saw through thicker branches and limbs. I needn't have worried because this thing has plenty of power. It cut through virtually every limb and branch last weekend when we did a marathon tree clean up and still had battery life left! (I bought two of these saws.) I don't have a lot of upper arms strength and I had no issues using this saw.The saw comes with one, short, wood, blade and interestingly, even though the description says Saw Only, there was also a battery and a charger in the box. It accepts reciprocating saw blades of various makers. The blades are a snap to install - just flip the black tab on the side up and put the blade in. Then flip the black tab back down and it locks the blade into place.And you can use it for much more than pruning! You can cut metal and sheet rock too if you buy the appropriate blades.I am sold on cordless tools for the average homeowner. Not having to be near and electrical outlet or wrangle a long extension cord makes most tasks much less of a chore. If you already own 20V Black+Decker tools, this saw is an obvious choice because the batteries and chargers will be interchangeable. The only thing this saw is missing is a case - and I like to use cases to keep blades together with the saw. I did find that this fits nicely (with the blade removed) in a large, empty, plastic, cat litter, tub like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Purina-Tidy-Cats-LightWeight-Solutions/dp/B01MAUD4XH/ There is plenty of room for blades, batteries and chargers, too.UPDATE: Just did a major tree trimming at my mother's home, which was long overdue. While we also had an electric pole saw with us, these cordless reciprocating saws were the winners, hands down. Battery life is great (although I do have extra batteries) and they just work so well. Lightweight enough to easily use on a ladder and so much faster than having to drag an extension cord everywhere. I recommend this tool strongly.

I used the saw straight from the post office trimming trees. It's excellent with plenty of power and easy to use. I have both cord and corded versions. Planning to trim/prune my orange and tangerine trees. I'm getting older so I have to work not to wear myself out. Black and Decker quality recommended tool for multiple projects.

We needed a Reciprocating Saw, we needed it right away, and we didn't have much to spend on it. After searching around for "delivery today or tomorrow" saws, there were a number of $50-ish ones out there, many unfamiliar brand names, some will full sets of blades, that had favorable reviews. This Black & Decker had some really good reviews and would get here later that day . . so, we took a chance.When it came, I was kinda hoping the battery was pre-charged so I set it up -- blade and battery attachment is obvious and easy -- and tried using it. As soon as it hit the wood, it would stop and I was worried that it might be underpowered. So, I put the battery on the charger and started up again the next morning. What a pleasant surprise it was when I tried using it. It sawed right through the 2x6 deck supports I had to cut off, made short work out of some branches -- they were 2" - 3" thick -- and then went through a couple of 2"x4"s. After all that, it still seems to have full power.So, is it a quality blade that comes with it? I don't know. Will it last forever and will the battery continue to hold a charge and/or recharge? No idea. But, first impression is great!
