What is a reciprocating saw?

A reciprocating saw is a go-to power tool for professionals who want to cut through a variety of materials including wood, plastic and metal. It uses a blade that runs backwards and forwards, in a reciprocating motion, to cut through various items.

They are available in one hand and two-handed models, with the latter being used primarily for demolition and major cutting jobs.

But what can you use them for? Here’s a quick list:

  • Demolition work that includes cutting wood, metal and pipework

  • Gardening and landscaping tasks on plants and trees

  • Cutting in hard or awkward areas

Can I use a reciprocating saw for demolition?

Yes you can. As a heavy duty power tool, reciprocating saws are often used at various stages of an interior demolition project. They can cut through stud walls, roof battens, plasterboard and other items.

Given their ease of use and versatility in tight areas, reciprocating saws are often trusted on projects where demolition is required. Though this would normally only apply for heavy duty reciprocating saws that require two-handed operation, and not necessarily single handed recip saws.
