Cordless Reciprocating Saw&Jigsaw, 20V ¾" 2-in-1 Saw, ¾" Stroke Length, 2-in-1 functions, 4 Blades for Different Materials, Compact&Lightweight Design, Battery and Charger Included, PowerShare

This is a great product for the single woman home owner. It is light-weight, convenient and super easy to use. I use this tool for DIY projects and to trim small limbs.. it is not a good tool for daily use in heavy construction, or to trim larger (over 3" diameter) limbs and small trees. My blade got stuck in a small scrub oak and I can't pull it out. Had to disconnect the blade. I suggest trying better, high quality, blades. I purchased a pack of multiple sizes and utilities from Amazon and they wear out pretty quickly on my trees. Also, when cutting tree limbs, that are larger in size, it takes a while to get through some of them and the battery does wear out pretty quickly. I was cutting dogwoods and scrubs, which are hard wood. It takes several hours, or more, for the battery to charge back up. Again, This is not the ideal tool for that kind cutting, but it's still an awesome tool to have on hand. I love it!

Used it to cut through a 4in diameter pvc pipe. Pretty nifty tool to have.

This tool turned out to be surprisingly powerful for its size - it cuts smoothly, and switching between blades is quick and simple. The weight is comfortable to hold, and overall the tool feels durable and well-built. Installation was very easy: the blade clicks in securely, and everything is intuitive even if you haven’t used this type of saw before. It’s a super useful tool to have around for different projects, and it performs exactly the way it should. Definitely a solid and reliable purchase.

Works well so far. Usefulness greatly enhanced by the swing blade. Nice power and battery life. Good value.

June 26, 2019 Update: Now that I've had this for a while, it has become my go-to saw! If I could only have ONE Saw for everything I had to cut, this would be it! Well, not for paper and or fabric of course! So far it's worth every penny I've spent on it and the 5 star rating that I gave. It's sooo convienient and it's RIGHT THERE whenever I need to cut something. Check out the pictures below and the size of the wood I was able to cut with it! Amazing. ================================= I have about 4 Worx products ( Power Washer, Blower, Weed & Edge Trimmer and this), and all of them uses the 20 V Lithium battery, so I have no worries about running out of power. That really comes in handy when needed, but these batteries seem to last a while and unless I'm doing a long project, one is usually enough to last me. Back to this saw, What can I say? Three days ago, I had some Areka Palm trees that I wanted to cut down and so I had to drag out my Portable chain saw. And if you know about Chain saws, they're a mess when it comes to oil leaks and for the most part, you have to use two hands. I got the job done but not without gobs of sawdust balls mixed with oil all over the ground and the chain saw blade. A mess to try and clean up. Got this saw yesterday 5/16/19 and I couldn't wait to try it. I have a large Mango tree where I needed to climb up on and cut some branches. So I grabbed a brand new Diablo 9" pruning sawblade, stuck it on this saw and I was done cutting off branches in no time ... all with ONE hand. Today, I wanted to cut down some more of my Areka Palms and I had absolutely NO problems with this saw. And a couple of them were about 5" in diameter .. Amazing! I have used corded Chain saws and corded reciprocating saws which were all a pain to use. This with its battery, portability and the ability to use different saw blades (and sizes), just makes that job MUCH easier. One reviewer thought that this might be better with a battery life indicator and although this saw doesn't come with one, Worx has a 20V Max Lithium 2.0AH (this battery is 1.5AH) which works perfectly well with all the other tools. That one HAS a push button and lights that indicate the remaining power. As I said, I have about 4 Worx tools that use the 20 V Lithium batteries ( I have 5 batteries) and they are all interchangeable.

Supper reliable. Bought it in 2021. Still running like old dog.

I've had this saw for almost a year, from demolition to furniture work. It's a very versatile and maneuverable saw. As a jigsaw: it's about as good as any Ryobi jigsaw, which is to say quite good. There is surprisingly zero play from side to side. Be aware the blade isn't fully seated if it twists. Look closely to make sure it's seated. However, neither the height of the fence nor the angle of the blade cut can be changed...both of those actions can usually be changed on dedicated jigsaws. Note the Worx has both a light and a air blower. Personally, I'd take the light and air blower over being able to change the angle. As a sawZ: I'd say it's about half of my brushless Makita sawZ, but also with half the weight. If the orbital function is left on the Worx, then it cuts much faster but it can also kickback (harmlessly) or it can vibrate the material. Runtime of course is much less...I'd guess maybe 12 minutes versus an 40 minutes (both sawZ have variable speed triggers). Interestingly, the Makita has more blade exposed as the fence can be placed much closer to the tool. Both sawZ can plunge cut very well but I'd give the advantage to the Worx. Probably the biggest drawback is just the battery life. It's not good. In practice, I don't run out of power because my cuts are always going to be small, or with a different tool like a circular, miter, or table saw.

I just bought another Worx product from Amazon and remembered that I hadn't left a review for this item which I bought six years ago. I had middling expectations, thinking it would come in handy for quick, light duty cutting jobs. And it is the perfect tool for those jobs. But I wouldn't have imagined how many times I have reached for this thing over the years, from making jigsaw cuts in the basement to building an arbor for our back yard or to cutting tree branches like it was a chain saw. You're not going to give it a steady diet of treated 2x4's or any 4x4's but for tons of jobs around the house, this is my go-to cutting tool. And I like that longer, heavy duty Sawzall blades fit in the blade holder to help this saw punch above its weight. This has been a super handy tool for me going on six years without a hiccup.

Bought for a UK household, and the charger is not compatible with our plug sockets or voltage. There is not a single mention of this in the listing - despite many of the brand line using the British pins/voltage. DO NOT BUY if in the UK. Very disappointed as only found out after the return window.

TL;DR - Made a professional-grade percussion massager out of Worx Jig-saw. I'll post a video on how-to in the comments below, and I'll include all links for my purchases. Total cost was around $150 CAD. •• A jig-saw into a massager... what in the what now? •• I'm a Registered Massage Therapy Student who recently finished his first year of study in Calgary, Alberta. I'm in a 2200 hour program, which is heavily loaded with anatomy courses. What drew me to this product can be summed up with a short story. Back in the day, I saw George St. Pierre (the UFC champion) in a commercial for a professional-grade percussion massager called the Tim Tam. Look it up; it costs $330+ and literally looks like a Jig-Saw. Fast forward a few years. During my schooling, I saw several students using this wicked hand-held, percussion massager called the HyperIce Volt. I was curious, and I learned they were $750. Whisper quiet, super useful, but $750? I'm a poor, busted student. No way I could afford that. For perspective, I'm a former kickboxing student who was on the brink of turning pro. Through intense training, I abused my body. After several career-ending injuries (herniated discs and a severe, life altering concussion), I've switched focus to Massage Therapy. Thing is, Massage Therapy can be hard on the body in its own right. I thought, maybe I should look into percussion massagers for the purposes of self-care. Who doesn't need a remedy for forearm, pec, hip flexor... quads, hams, glutes, calves... and really any tense muscle at their fingertips? ::::::CAVEAT:::: I wouldn't recommend a percussion massager of this caliber for back or neck work. Smashing against your vertebra without a deep understanding of anatomy = a bad idea and genuine recipe for disaster. I'll say it again, the NECK, SPINE are no-no's. And if you ever feel any numbness or tingling, that's not good. Stop what you're doing. Heck, if you ever feel an intense pain unlike any you've had before, STOP IMMEDIATELY and assess. You may have been pounding on a nerve. •• Why Worx... Works •• While researching the HyperIce and friends (TheraGun/TimTam), I stumbled across a YouTube video from Dr. Ben Kim, a Chiropractor from Ontario. He made a video on how to create your own professional grade percussion massager. The best part? Totally achievable for around $150 ASSUMING you already own a power drill. Being a broke student, I did a little more digging. It turned out, it was exceptionally easy to make. Best of all? It has roughly the same power as the aforementioned units, which means the same advertised "percussions per second." I bought all the parts (which I'll include down below). It took me about 5 minutes to put together. Later, I removed the locking mechanism, which took me another 5 minutes. That's about it. It's stupid easy. •• What does percussion do? •• There's some debate to this. It relates to the gate control theory of pain. In a nutshell, the repeated stimulation is written off by the brain, and therefore, the body doesn't register an intense pain response. What's happening is, you pound the muscle faster, more repetitively, and much harder than a human practitioner could, yet your brain doesn't register the pain it "should." Your muscles, in effect, get a good beating, and you reap the benefits of reduced tension. I can't tell you a percussion massager will magically erase your pain like so many solutions claim to do, but it's far and away the fastest, most effective massage tool I've used. •• DOES IT HELP? •• Let me put it this way. A few years ago, when I was dealing with my "herniated disc diagnosis," I broke the motors on two $50 hand-held massagers trying to dig into my spine for relief. I tried foam rolling, I tried lacrosse ball rolling, and I tried something called the Theracane. All of those provided SOME relief, but nothing comes close to the Worx. The Worx Jigsaw is so powerful, it would break me before I broke it. Frankly, it's awesome, and I couldn't be more thrilled with its performance for the price. •• Okay, so what are the down sides? •• I consider the down-sides minimal because I don't plan on using this device in clinical practice. 1. The battery life isn't "professional grade" ◘ The battery lasts around 20 minutes depending on how much you're power you're pumping out. Compare that to the Theragun, which lasts around 75 minutes. This makes sense because the Theragun was designed for clinical practice, and it, therefore, demands a long-lasting battery to serve multiple clients per day. For self-care, I can easily hit every muscle group I need to in 20 minutes. The charging doesn't take long, really. Couple hours at most. Update 02/08/2020: So that I could do longer sessions, I bought the "WORX WA3578 20V 4.0Ah Lithium Ion High Capacity Battery." I can easily do full body with this one, and it fits into the charger that comes standard with this Worx Jigsaw. 2. It's LOUD ◘ It's real loud. Again, you wouldn't use this thing in a quiet clinic setting. The HyperIce volt, on the other hand, is SUPER quiet. Like ghost farting on a roaring subway quiet. If you were treating clients or planned on massaging yourself at a funeral, the Worx Jig-saw isn't for you. 3. It lacks affordable, customized heads for different jobs ◘ On Amazon, you can buy heads specifically for the Worx to be used as a massager. I tried a couple and wasn't thrilled with the quality. But honestly, you don't really need a variety of heads for this thing to be effective. I wouldn't want to use a deep tissue head on something this powerful. 4. It can't hit every target because it ain't easy to hold in all positions ◘ Although the percussion massager is AMAZING for legs, it's difficult to apply to your own back. Having someone else do back for you? Not a great idea considering the proximity of your spinal muscles to your vertebra. I wouldn't recommend giving somebody who isn't trained in anatomy a power tool and pointing it near my spine. In terms of self-application, the Worx is great for the following areas: arms, pecs, and shoulders, but it's best used for hips, legs, and if you're flexible and imaginative -- glutes. •• The Up-sides? •• 1. The Price ◘ For $150, you get the most powerful massager on the market that should be just as effective as those SIGNIFICANTLY more expensive. And it's not just me. Many people have caught on to this. Heck, type in percussion massager in Amazon. There are people selling repackaged Worx that they "upgraded" themselves for $500+. They even have their own brand names. There are multiple businesses doing it. 2. The effectiveness ◘ I talked about it above, but the Worx legitimately works. The power is awesome. After all, it's a friggen power tool, and it legitimately relaxes your muscles faster and (arguably) better than many massage therapists could. It doesn't have "settings" like the theragun/hyperice. Instead, the more you pull the trigger, the more powerful it is. Personally, I like it that way; although, it adds a little unintended variability sometimes. Still, I don't consider it problem enough to consider paying $500 more. 3. Speaking of heads ◘ Remember how I said you can't use customized heads too easily? I don't really care because a lacrosse ball head is all I really need. Technically, you can use any ball you can drill a hole into, but I recommend lacrosse due to its hardness. ♠ The only real issue with a lacrosse ball is that at the highest percussion levels, its rubbery surface will catch hairs and cause a burning sensation; although, it won't outright rip them off, so there's that. If you're an overly hairy mammoth, it could be an issue. An easy way to deal with this is to place a small layer of fabric between you and the muscle. You could use a thin kitchen towel or even a throw blanket. Whatever you have on hand should help. ♠ I've seen some people use those spiky dryer balls from dollar stores, and I'm sure you could come up with other ideas. 4. Dealing with the noise ◘ I use two methods to deal with the noise: 1) I put in noise cancelling headphones and go to town. 2) I bought ear plugs and some $20 noise reducing earmuffs (construction grade) to dampen sound for people I'm working on. I've used it on several people with this method, and they have no issue with the sound. •• What you need to build it! •• I'll link Dr. Kim's video on how to below, but this is what you'll need: - The Worx Jigsaw - A 1/4 or 3/8 power extension bit (I recommend 3/8 for the tightest fit). I went and bought a pack of 3 at Home Hardware. - A Reciprotools Reciprocating Saw Tool Adapter - An ordinary lacrosse ball - A power drill, otherwise you can't drill into the ball, nor drill the 3/8 extension bit into the ball. If you don't have one, you should honestly get one anyway. They're too useful in everyday life. •• TIPS ON ASSEMBLY •• ◘ I had problems with my lacrosse ball falling off the 1/4 power extension bit when percussing at full power, so I went with the 3/8. It was a little harder to fit the ball onto, but here's how I did it. Dr. Kim recommends drilling into the ball with a 5/16 drill bit about halfway into the ball. I found that I couldn't get the fat head of the 3/8's in, so I drilled very shallowly into the ball opening with a 3/8's drill bit. Then I put the 3/8 power extender into the drill and drilled it all the way down to the center of the ball. It was more difficult than fitting in the smaller 1/4, but I haven't had the ball come off in almost a year of use, so the larger extension bit has worked perfectly. ◘ The reciprotools may not lock in when you insert it into the Jigsaw. A quick pull of the trigger, and it locks instantly. ◘ Those are my only tips. You should be able to figure it out from Dr. Kim's video, which I'll place in the comments. •• Pro Tip •• One irritating feature about the Worx as a percussion massager is that it has a safety lock. You have to press and hold it down WHILE pulling the trigger. This can be awkward and downright impossible with one hand, especially for smaller users. The good news? You can manually remove the safety pin. To accomplish this, you have to unscrew the Worx and SLOWLY open it JUST wide enough to pull the safety pin out. If you open it too much too quickly, things slide around, and you might have trouble putting it back together. I lost a nut that held on a piece of metal on the front, and there was no way to put it back in without compromising other parts. Fortunately, I don't need it for basic operation, and neither will you. The whole experience is MUCH better without the safety pin. For safety purposes, when I'm not using it, I simply remove the battery. That's a more effective method of ensuring it doesn't accidentally turn on... Trust me; my cats would find a way. ◘◘ Don't self-diagnose. Seek professional help. ◘◘ I know, you hear it all the time. Here's why, in this instance, it can be helpful. Massage Therapists often deal with a concept called "referred pain," which relates to how muscles sit in your body. For example, I sprained my ankle a few weeks back. Pain radiates all the way up the my knee, but as an average person, I wouldn't know that one spot below my knee is where manual therapy could help a ton. These things just aren't obvious to an untrained individual. As a professional, I know which muscles attach where. I know which muscles are likely implicated in certain conditions and thus may offer relief if manipulated. They may need to be stretched/strengthened at certain points in recovery, too -- so banging on them over and over won't do any good. My point is, the average joe doesn't know; that's why we rely on physiotherapists and other musculoskeletal health practitioners. My recommendation is see a professional or two about your pain and ask questions. Use that information, use what they do to treat your pain, to guide you forward on treating yourself with your percussion massager. Remember the herniated disc I had? Turns out, the biggest relief of pain in my lower back was through finding a specific point in my glutes (butt) and treating them. Dead horse point being, pain can be confusing and difficult to assess. There's always someone that can help you to figure out what's causing it, but it can be quite a journey. Anyway, that's my sermon. ♣♣♣ Conclusion ♣♣♣ I love the Worx Jig-saw as a percussion massager. It is a cheap and efficient solution for self-pain management. Shout out to Dr. Kim for leading me on the journey. Additional respect goes to a user from another review who told me removing the safety pin was possible. Best of luck on your journey. If you have any questions, I will try to answer in the comments. Update 02/08/2020: It's been just under a year, and I still love this thing. I wanted a larger battery for longer sessions, so I bought one on Amazon. It was $85 at the time. It's the "WORX WA3578 20V 4.0Ah Lithium Ion High Capacity Battery." I can easily do full body with this one, and it fits into the exact same charger that comes with the Worx Jigsaw. Happy Worxing!

for DIY work at home

Muy buen equipo, práctico y funcional. Su carga es durable y carga la batería en poco tiempo. Su uso no es complicado. Recomendable.

The product was well priced. I am happy with purchase. The battery design of US products has six pins while Worz products in Australia have just four pins. So be careful mixing and matching US and Aus products. I needed a conversion plug for the battery charger, but the 110 volt charger worked fine plugged straight into 240 V via adaptor.
