Reciprocating Saws: Stud Handler

Reviewed by:
Rosemary Thornton

No remodeler's toolbox is complete without a stout and sturdy reciprocating saw. The 11-amp motor on this model has electronic variable speeds (0 - 2,800 rpm) which provide both power and control.

Blades are reversible and can be changed single-handedly.

The saw comes with a carrying case and a set of all purpose blades, so you can get right to work slicing and dicing walls, studs and anything else that gets in your way.

CR13VA Reciprocating Saw is about $170 (August 2006).
