Description of Black & Decker RS500 8.5 Amp Reciprocating Saw

This is the perfect recip saw for the home do-it-yourselfer. It's priced attractively but doesn't skimp on the features. For the price, we're impressed with the 8.5 amp motor and variable speed, all the way from 0 to 2,400 strokes per minute--plenty for whatever your project needs. Also high on our list is the fact that it weighs only 6.8 pounds. If you've ever hefted one of the higher-end models, you'll appreciate the light weight, especially noticeable when you're cutting over your head and in other awkward positions. You'll really be pleased with the tool-free blade-change system; it's fast, easy and foolproof. When you're cutting, you'll notice that the ergonomic rubber grip and the cushioning on the front boot really cut vibration and improve your control. We can imagine putting this baby to use doing cutouts in drywall and studs for things like inset cabinets, cutting PVC for all kinds of projects--pipes during renovations, subfloors, joists, framing in a new door--you get the picture. A recip saw is one of the more versatile tools to have in your collection, and this one's a great buy for the homeowner.--Kris Jensen-Van Heste

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker RS500 8.5 Amp Reciprocating Saw

Customer Review: Great value
Summary: 5 Stars

I bought this saw a few years ago and have used it for a few small jobs. However, it proved itself this past weekend as we gutted our kitchen down to the studs. We used this saw to cut out an arch that was built into a breakfast nook area. It consisted of several layers of 2x4 boards, metal drywall corner pieces, metal mesh, etc. This saw zipped through all of that and we pulled the arch out in no time. I also used it to clean up the mess from our project and was impressed with how quickly it cut through the debris to make for more manageable pieces. I started my cleanup with a buddy's saw and its blade became stuck in a chunk of 2x4/plaster and I couldn't get it unstuck. I used my saw to get the other blade cut out and the rest of the structure cut up. This saw and a pack of good blades is all you will need for most demo projects!
