Makita 4390DW 9.6-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Reciprocating Saw Reviews
This is the same tool I've used for my business for many years. The original cost was about twice as much. There are times when it has saved me a lot of time. This is my third in about 11 years.
Today's cordless reciprocating saws run on powerful 18 or 24 volt batteries, and don't have a puny 9/16 of an inch reciprocating action, they are comparable to their corded brethren and reciprocate a good inch or more for fast and powerful cutting. We owned one of these cordless reciprocating saws when they first appeared in the early nineteen-eighties. Today, no one uses 9.6 volt batteries (except, apparently, Makita) for any modern cordless tools where there's an anticipation they will be used for any real work. I'm amazed and shocked that Makita still produces their line of underpowered, thin plastic, poorly made, 9.6 volt tools. Seeing this tool for sale on Amazon has prompted me to make a comment and we have nothing good to saw about the device. Unless your needs are extremely minimal, like cutting plastic or copper plumbing tubing hidden under a hard to reach sink, or you just want to say you own a "cordless reciprocating saw", I would suggest looking elsewhere for a better designed tool that has the prospect of real use and utility. Makita 9.6 volt batteries are expensive, hard to find, and in my opinion Makita tools like this are only good for VERY infrequent consumer use. Twenty-five years ago, the Makita 9.6 volt cordless reciprocating saw was a novelty, and sold along side of 9.6 volt cordless drills, 9.6 volt cordless saws, and 9.6 volt flashlights.
Also good for cutting off pipes and stubborn bolts. Great tool for light work and in tight spaces.
This Makita reciprocating saw works well for cutting pipes in the wall next to a stud. I highly recommend it for light duty cutting in close quarters. The sawzalls sometimes just can not get it done in close quarters.
