\u2022 Cordless Reciprocating Saw [+]
\u2022 Pruning Blade<\/p>\n

  \"IMG_3904\"<\/p>\n


\nWe all know that a Sawzall (reciprocating saw) is a great too to have during demo… and during serious demo, the only one you really want to have is a corded one<\/a> because you actually do<\/strong><\/em> need all of that power\/amperage (13-15amps), but when the serious demo is over, you can downgrade to something more manageable<\/a>… or pick up another bit of kit<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I'm a huge fan of both the Makita LXT<\/a> series and the Milwaukee M18<\/a> series. The LXT was a little earlier to mass-market, so I got hooked on that, but the M18 series now has bested them with more serious accessories… but either will serve the typical DIYer well — and much, much better than a lower-tier<\/a> brand.<\/p>\n

What many folks don't know is that there are lots of other accessories for this type of saw including tile chipping blades<\/a>… and landscape pruning blades<\/a>.<\/p>\n

With a pruning blade loaded in the reciprocating saw, you can prune up a small tree in a matter of minutes. I gave my neighbor's apple tree it's first much-needed haircut in about a decade and I think it took me, maybe, 10 minutes and I barely broke a sweat. I seriously felt like I was holding a light-saber. It was amazing.<\/p>\n

Of course, you can do the same with a corded model, but the freedom that the cordless offers, plus the good balance is quite nice \u2014 even a one-handed cut is possible and the saw can do all of the work.<\/p>\n

The blades are available all over the place, but Home Depot is currently running a BOGO offer on their Diablo blades<\/a>, so it's a pretty good deal.<\/p>\n

So, save yourself some headache and feel like a Jedi at the same time.<\/p>\n
