Hi, I'm a perfectionist when it comes to finding the right tool for the job. I'm an electrician and frequently need to cut precise holes in walls, usually cement like plaster, not just drywall, as most of the houses I work on were built in the '50s and earlier. This was about the fourth product that I've tried, and it works perfectly. For me the two most important features are that you can replace the blades with standard recip saw blades, and that the handle can be bent to provide better ergonomics when using it. Plus having a unit that is rugged and holds up to the demands of cutting through hard plaster and occasionally lathe strips is important too.This saw works wonderfully. The twist lock mechanism that locks the blade in was getting a bit sticky, but I know that i could have used some WD-40 if it got too bad and that would have fixed it up, as there isn't much that WD-40 won't unstick.I lost track of my original unit on a jobsite just two days ago and feel bereft without it. I won't even buy anything else to use temporarily until this arrives because I haven't seen anything at the local hardware stores that even begin to compare. I'll lug out my recip saw in place of this until the new one arrives.Definitely worth every penny!UPDATE:Broke after 18 months. I use this thing about once a week, so not heavily used. After searching around for any other options, I ordered another one as soon as the old one broke. There seems to be no real competition on the market, so I'm not going to lose sleep if I have to replace this once in a while. There are some folding hole saws out there that also use recip saw blades, but if those things break the blade could close on your fingers, which cannot happen with this particular style.

It's decent quality & work pretty well. It does seem a bit tricky and not so comfortable when in use. I mainly wanted it for sawing smaller things. I definitely believe the price is too high for what you get.

Works great, well made, handle is great, ability to take all sizes of blades is awesome. I would recommend this as part of a small tool carry bag with extra bits and you can use an adapter and use sockets with it, as long as not too tight. Bicycles , motorcycles ATVs in the car, survivalists , campers, great for all those activities. I expected it to be decent, it is much better than that. It also came with a nice closeable carrying pouch, with velcro I did not even notice

I had one of these before, the blade holder used to be spring loaded - like a modern jigsaw. Now half the time I try to cut something the #$& blade falls out. I do so wish that whoever stole my tool box, well anyway, it's still a good tool because of its ability to cut just about anything anywhere. I just would like not have to use pliers on it to set a blade.

This is a handle. It will hold a screwdriver adaptor extension (bits in the handle) or reciprocal saw blades. It cocks at about 30 degrees or you can use it in a straight configuration. All-in-all it takes some weight out of your toolbox, works well, and seems fairly tough. Good design.

There's still enough room in th little carrying case to carry a couple of snall tools. In my case that's a amall adjustable crescent wrench and a small channel lock pliers. The piers sit with one handle in the picket an the other hanging down on the outside. One very handy tool set. Theclosed cloth belt loop om the back provides a handy place to attach a nothe group of tools hanging on a ring or a caribener.

Used it for only 1 week for now so i can't say about durability but i love its versatility, i think that if it break its gonna be where the handle Swivel, but for now really worth it!
