JohnsAs I review the features of the Makita corded riprocating saw, I see the necessary power of a plugged-in tool. This is not one of the tools that can afford to run out of power as cordless tools often do at a crucial point in their use. The quick change (without tools) of the blade for a sharper, coarser or finer blade is very satisfying for working unencumbered or away fromthe tool's own tool box. Variable speeds are important because in the beginning of a cut, the precise place that the saw begins that cut determines where the cut will saw through. I use a reciprocating saw to dismantle old barns, getting the precious barn wood off without damage. Nails sawn through release the wood without damage and make the tedious job of un-siding so much quicker that I offer this tip to everyone. /s/ Alan D.
