Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
I have a Ridgid corded. It sucks. Not as powerful or as versatile my old Dewalt cordless, (stolen).

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
Plus, you can get a cupon that if you spend over $150 on power tools, you get $30 off, so the actual price would be $139.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?Quote:
That sale was over two nights ago for our region, but I managed get: 2-Bosch Angle Grinders 1-Bosch PS40 Impactor 1-DeWalt Hammerdrill 1-DeWalt Impact Ready Bit Kit 2-Bostitch Roofing Nailers 2-Botitch Roofing Staple Cap Nailers... ...all for less than $800.00. That's with their sale prices but the $200. off they gave me for making purchases over $500. at the time. The tools at regular price (outside of the sales and promotions) would've cost me about $1,600.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
Been using 2 DeWalts for the last 10 years, hope one will break so I can get an AVT by Makita.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?Quote:
![]() As for the oil, going up every day unfortunately. We are paying 2.6 USD a liter. Add that to the ridiculous cost of tools and materials and it becomes obvious that life for the little guys like me is getting harder .

Tools you buy once. Gas you get weekly. Here, in the U.S., it's up to about $3.70/Gallon and that's the low end.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
Had a Bosch, and 2m Milwaukees but I have been using the Porter Cable Tiger. Its the second one I have and its a smooth balanced saw. I would recommend it to anyone.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
I gave the DeWalt a burl today. I am pretty happy with it. It blew through a row of floor boards like they were nothing at all. I am not sure when I'll need more power than what it has but if it comes at the expense of extra weight I am happy with what I have. Most of my cutting is above my head so I am happy with the DeWalt I have due to it being quite light.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
I have had Bosch, Dewalt and PC... I am currently using the PC tiger saw and it is by far the bast I have had.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
Yeah I know. To make things worse people live sprawled out all over the country side and expect quotes to be free. You kidding me???? I just spent $25 one way to get here plus 45 minutes of my time. This makes amendments to job quotes a very expensive process when you have to pick up different materials.

Re: Orright You Gurus, Which Recip Saw?
I am generally a fan of PC, but I'm with you here. I just replaced my PC Tiger with a Milwalkee. It is only about a year old (only used by me, so not abused) and has so much slop in the blade that it is almost impossible to start a cut on a line. I bought it because of my positive experiences with other PC tools I have, and was dissapointed from the first time I used it, expecting a lot quicker cutting from a saw so heavy and with a long blade stroke. This is actually the first Milwaulkee electric tool I have ever owned; but they are the chosen brand of plumbers, and I figured if a plumbing crew cannot kill them, they must be tough.
