We just finished up our review of the Bosch reciprocating saw. We think Bosch makes some of the best power tools around and would like to hear what you think. Are we seeing clear our just in the clouds.

I have the RS20 which is corded. We have used this on everything. It is 13amps and great. Someone just needs to start making blades that can keep up with demanding work. Blades are very expensive and you can rip through a bunch in no time. We started a job at a strip mall about two months ago, yeah we couldn’t believe there was work either. We did a bunch of demo jobs for a couple store fronts and the Bosch was great. Wouldn’t go with anything else.
Cordless is great for certain jobs, but other jobs you need a corded. Techology is just not there yet to compete with some of the corded power tools. In regards to the blades you hit the nail on the head. With some of the new techology and way they create certain types of metal, you would think they would have some great blades out by now. I guess the profit margin is to great to justify a change.
