HIKOKI CR13V2 110v 1010w Reciprocating Saw

Reciprocating Saws are great tools for people who need to make rapid cuts through various materials while on a jobsite. The push and pull motion or reciprocation which gives these saws their name makes this kind of saw both powerful and adaptable. Picking the right Reciprocating Saw is about balancing the weight and power of the machine with the kind of work it will be doing.  As a rule of thumb, more powerful machines tend to have larger batteries and are often heavier, so if the saw is going to be used for short bursts of work above shoulder height, a lower voltage model might be a sensible choice. By contrast, if you regularly cut larger, thicker workpieces, then you might want something with more power.

Another key thing to consider is the cutting speed your tool provides, as the faster the blade moves, the better the cut. Faster tools also offer more control to their operator. ToolStore UK’s range of Reciprocating Saws includes tools which provide up to 3,000 strokes per minute.

The stroke length offered by the tool is also worth considering. This indicates how far a single forward stroke of the saw travels. The longer the stroke length, the faster the cut. Longer stroke lengths also help saw blades to last longer.

One extra thing to check is the voltage of the tool you’re considering buying; our range includes both 110v and 240v Reciprocating Saws.
