THE MOST POWERFUL RECIP SAW EVER! 15 AMPS! the first time ever a recip saw ("sawzall"), has ever been at 15 amps. this saw has the most advanced anti-vibration system of any saw. it's powerful, yet it purrrs. most recip saws jerk like crazy in your hands; this one hardly moves at all. it has a 4-speed orbital and is easy to hold. changing a blade is easy: you twist the collar and it ejects the blade; simply insert the blade and it locks automatically. it can easily be done with one hand. it has a two finger trigger and 6 speeds. the adjustable shoe is the easiest i've ever used; one button releases the shoe and the other locks it. no levers or other complicated techniques. again, it's a one-handed operation.
i truly love this saw.
previous makita recip saws haven't been all that great, and i never even considered them before now. i'm glad i made the right choice. i prefer this over the milwaukee 6523-21 13amp and the hitachi and the porter-cable and the bosch and the dewalt.

I have a few reciprocating saws (all "top of the line"), this one, the SawZall (13 AMP and rotating) and the Hitachi 12 AMP. I think this saw is the best of the group - but still not what I expected. After about 2 months of use this saw broke on me. The motor still turns but the shaft does not move in and out. This saw when it works is very good, cuts well, and the case is nice (I like that it is heavy). Truth be known I do not think any of the reciprocating saws are made with the quality of my original all metal Sawzall. I do not think any saw today is made for professional use and regular demolition work. As far as durability, this unit is made in China, the rubber boot on the blade changing mechanism will break off within about 20 uses (my Sawzall took 1/2 that time to break, my Hitachi still works, my original sawzall still works - 2 repairs in 25 years). The saw gets very hot during prolonged use (the rubber boot on the blade changing piece is there so you can touch it and change the blade because it gets too hot to touch. I think it needs a better mechanism to connect the reciprocating arm to the motor. The arm should go back and forth - no matter what and should stay aligned (the saw does not do anything else!). From what is available today, this unit is probably best of bread and is fine.

I used this tool for 6 months during a major renovation. All started well and I was very impressed with the saw. The one short coming is the front shoe and the shoe holder. The mechanism that holds the shoe became looser and sloppier, causing the blade to cut into the shoe as it would rotate. The entire shoe support mechanism eventually just fell apart, rendering the saw unusable. Something a little more substantial is needed. I would be willing to accept a more robust shoe holder in exchange for the `inconvenience' of having to use a wrench to adjust it. A good motor and good blade change mechanism are offset by the shoe mechanism rendering the saw inoperable after only 6 months. Buy with caution.
