Literally had no idea what they called the "fence." Retailers don't talk about them, but they're probably the most important feature of good performance, internal mechanics aside. Thanks for mentioning it.
At 2:34 you say you can do a fair amount of cutting with the cordless dewalt, but you followup saying if you had to cut one hole, you would use up the battery...one hole doesn't sound like much. If you used it to trim trees, how much cutting would you be able to do?
Hi Bob, When you use a battery operated tool continuously that’s when the battery gets deplete quicker. Trimming trees you could do for quite a while on one battery say over twenty benches depending on the size.
Probably a hole to put in new sliding doors 😂 I've used my pole chain saw with a 2.0 amp battery and it did good. Now, a bigger amperage battery would do even better.
It all depends on what kind of blade you are using, what you are cutting through and what you hit. Typically if you are using the saw for demo work you will need a half a dozen blades on hand. Hope this was helpful!
If you mean the end of the blade stuck in the holder? Remove the screw if equipped and take the sleeve off the piece will come with it. If spring loaded hold facing the floor with lever open and tap the body of the saw to help it drop out. Hope that helps!
I do a lot of DIY stuff myself and to be honest I avoid cordless tools in general because as a DIYer they will only get used about once a year and batteries will chemically age and after a few years they’re no good and usually by then the company doesn’t make that particular battery any more often they change models and you’re stuck with a tool you can’t use I’ve got Makita drills Sanders heat guns that are over 20 years old work fine to this day they’re all corded if you’re in the trade daily basis then absolutely get cordless but for home gamers I think the value lies in running a cord And when you’re only talking about occasional use it’s really not that arduous is to plug in an extension cord to get a lifetime of service out of a tool
does wattage matter in reciprocating saws? there are saws that are 710W and have 150mm max cutting depth into wood. And there are saws that are 900W that have 115mm max cutting depth into wood. shouldnt the one with the higher wattage have deeper cutting depth?
Hi AA, More wattage means more power, As for cutting depth that really has more to do with length of the blade you use. Milwaukee, DeWalt and Skil all make good tools.
Greetings from Venezuela....
Thanks for sharing this demonstration...
I love tools... Unfortunately, They are very expensive here...
Hello Venezuela! Thanks for watching!

He should have called it the SHOE
A Fence is used with circular saws to assure a straigh parallel cut
I'm glad I stumbled across this. I was going to buy a reciprocating saw for the wrong purpose! Thank you, Ace Hardware!
Awesome! Thank you for this video!🙏
hi and thank you for the video. it was really helpful.
Very well described - great info - thanks!
Peter V hey peter it’s me I love you
Very good demonstration many thanks from Cornwall uk
Thank you
@02:00 When you pick up saw blade with your fingers near saw body, you should always pick next side of saw tooth for a best safety reason.
Can you do a reciprocating saw vs circular saw video to see which one is better please? Thank you
Great idea Chris! We'll work with Lou to make one!
love my saw--works great for cutting wood...
Thanks from an amateur! Didn't know about the "fence" feature on my saw.
Hey Paige, glad we can help!
It's really a Shoe
Not a fence

Can the reciprocating saw do finesse, nice cuts like for finishing carpentry and nice pieces?
Hi There,
Not really it is a harder saw to control. It’s really meant for rougher types of work. Hope that was helpful!
@@AceHardware Thank you for the replies!
I know this guy, oh ya, I saw him in the other Ace video.
Hi, what about brushed and brushless?
How does the longevity of the blade for this side of saw compare to a circular saw? Thanks.
It all depends on what kind of blade you are using, what you are cutting through and what you hit. Typically if you are using the saw for demo work you will need a half a dozen blades on hand. Hope this was helpful!
How do you know which length of blade to use?
Hi There,
It all depends on what you are cutting. The thicker the material the longer the blade. Hope this helps!
How would u get the broken piece locked in out of the corded saw?
If you mean the end of the blade stuck in the holder? Remove the screw if equipped and take the sleeve off the piece will come with it. If spring loaded hold facing the floor with lever open and tap the body of the saw to help it drop out. Hope that helps!

often they change models and you’re stuck with a tool you can’t use
I’ve got Makita drills Sanders heat guns that are over 20 years old work fine to this day
they’re all corded
if you’re in the trade daily basis then absolutely get cordless
but for home gamers I think the value lies in running a cord
And when you’re only talking about occasional use it’s really not that arduous is to plug in an extension cord to get a lifetime of service out of a tool
Thank you very much. We did manage to get piece out with some PB spray.

Must be a BIG hole to flatten it after only one
Yeah me too

Hardly any cutting with that battery!
