Description of Black & Decker RS600K 8.5 Amp Reciprocating Saw Kit With 6-Speed Control

The homeowner, weekend warrior and avid do-it-yourselfer will love this as much for the price as the power and features. Its beefed-up 8-1/2 amp draw gives it all the juice it needs for whatever task you feed it, whether you're simply making cutouts in drywall or chomping through a pipe. The variable speed is great for the wide variety of projects you'll encounter, from 0 to 2,400 strokes per minute. Also high on our list is the fact that it weighs around 7 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.

We were surprised at the generous stroke length on this saw, too, because that means more aggressive cutting and more even blade wear for longer life. Also, you'll really be pleased with the tool-free Quick Clamp 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. The three-position shoe makes it easier on your arms when you're in awkward spots, too.

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
