BLACK+DECKER20V MAX* Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit (BDCR20C)

I wanted a reciprocating saw for pruning instead of a mini-chainsaw. I figured a reciprocating saw must be easier to use than a mini-chainsaw because you don't have to fool around with putting the chain on initially or putting it back on when it comes off its track.This is my first reciprocating saw and I had a little trouble installing the blade and snapping the battery fully into place. Once I dealt with those issues, I used the saw to cut down a twig dogwood that I wanted to get rid of. I am ready to tackle all my pruning tasks now. I have lots of trees with small branches, probably not larger than 2" in diameter that I need to prune.

I bought to clear around my property. I was able to remove 5 larger trees and 4-5 smaller ones before the battery was done. May have gotten more use of battery if I was a little faster but its snake season here in Texas and I have to cut lots of smaller limbs to make sure no snakes were on the trees. Overall, happy with the product.

Used it for cutting down small trees (4" or so), and it worked reasonably well. It can shake quite a bit, so be prepared for that (I ended up with a blister on my thumb). The blade also jammed up in the trunk more than I'd like, but that could be me (first time I've used one). I' be using it for the same purpose and for cutting up the [small] logs on fallen trees and thicker branches. Cutting speed was not quick; I was cutting oak.
