A reciprocating saw is a versatile power tool commonly used in construction and demolition. It features a straight blade that moves back and forth rapidly, allowing it to cut through various materials like wood, metal, and plastic. The design makes it ideal for tasks such as cutting pipes, trimming branches, or making rough cuts in tight spaces. These saws are often used by professionals, including contractors and plumbers, as well as DIY enthusiasts. They come in both corded and cordless models, providing flexibility for different job sites. Safety features, such as blade guards, help protect users during operation.
