The is a compact reciprocating saw built for tradies who ride hard on job sites yet still expect a tool you can swing one‑handed when space’s tight — and it delivers the muscle without the bulk. It doesn’t come with a battery or charger, so you pair it with your existing 20V XR pack and you’re ready to dice through wood, pipe, PVC and light metal.

With its brushless motor, this saw makes better use of battery juice and runs cooler under load, giving you longer life and more cuts per charge — and that matters a lot when you’re doing demolition after demo or trimming framing members in tricky corners.

Key Features:

• Brushless Motor - Keeps power up and wear down so you get more life and cuts from this bare tool.
• Compact Sub‑Compact Design - Lets you work in cramped spaces where bigger saws won’t reach.
• Variable Speed Trigger - Lets you dial in the pace for control when cutting delicate materials or ripping through tougher stuff.
• Tool‑Free Blade Change - Quarter turn, swap blade, back to work — no mess, no fuss.
• LED Work Light - Illuminates the cut line in dim corners so you can see what you’re doing without a torch.

Applications

It’s right at home on renovation tasks, plumbing rough‑ins, HVAC drop‑ins and even pruning awkward tree limbs if that’s part of the daily grind.

Why Choose This Model

Here’s the thing — you don’t buy this saw for pure brute force. You buy it for smart, reliable performance and real world versatility.
