Worx WX550L.9 20V Power Share Axis Cordless Reciprocating & Jig Saw (Tool Only)

June 26, 2019 Update:Now that I've had this for a while, it has become my go-to saw! If I could only have ONE Saw for everything I had to cut, this would be it! Well, not for paper and or fabric of course!So far it's worth every penny I've spent on it and the 5 star rating that I gave. It's sooo convienient and it's RIGHT THERE whenever I need to cut something.Check out the pictures below and the size of the wood I was able to cut with it! Amazing.=================================I have about 4 Worx products ( Power Washer, Blower, Weed & Edge Trimmer and this), and all of them uses the 20 V Lithium battery, so I have no worries about running out of power. That really comes in handy when needed, but these batteries seem to last a while and unless I'm doing a long project, one is usually enough to last me.Back to this saw, What can I say? Three days ago, I had some Areka Palm trees that I wanted to cut down and so I had to drag out my Portable chain saw. And if you know about Chain saws, they're a mess when it comes to oil leaks and for the most part, you have to use two hands. I got the job done but not without gobs of sawdust balls mixed with oil all over the ground and the chain saw blade. A mess to try and clean up.Got this saw yesterday 5/16/19 and I couldn't wait to try it. I have a large Mango tree where I needed to climb up on and cut some branches. So I grabbed a brand new Diablo 9" pruning sawblade, stuck it on this saw and I was done cutting off branches in no time ... all with ONE hand. Today, I wanted to cut down some more of my Areka Palms and I had absolutely NO problems with this saw. And a couple of them were about 5" in diameter .. Amazing!I have used corded Chain saws and corded reciprocating saws which were all a pain to use. This with its battery, portability and the ability to use different saw blades (and sizes), just makes that job MUCH easier.One reviewer thought that this might be better with a battery life indicator and although this saw doesn't come with one, Worx has a 20V Max Lithium 2.0AH (this battery is 1.5AH) which works perfectly well with all the other tools. That one HAS a push button and lights that indicate the remaining power.As I said, I have about 4 Worx tools that use the 20 V Lithium batteries ( I have 5 batteries) and they are all interchangeable.

Amazing product works like the big brands I don't know for how long but feels sturdy and I love you can use it both ways thats a huge plus and what make worx stick out from other brands

I tried another reciprocating saw before this one and it didn’t stand up to what this one can do. This one really is the one that made my life easier. It works better than the Ego chainsaw that I bought. It saws through at least 5 inches of hard treee limbs. It made getting a tree stump out of the ground easier. It cuts through other material as well. The key is ensuring you have the right blades for the job.

I love that it switches between a jigsaw and a reciprocating saw it saves space and works well for small projects. It’s lightweight and easy to handle, even for someone like me who’s not super handy. The battery doesn’t last super long, so I’d recommend having a backup. Not super powerful, but perfect for home use. Great value for the price!

This nifty little saw is just what I have needed. I wasn’t seeking it out, but went out on a limb when it was suggested. I have many trees to trim and cut down and this saw works great! The battery was way better than I anticipated (similar to using the Worx weed eater) I have used it probably on as big as 5-6 inch trunks. How well it cuts absolutely depends on the type of wood and the sharpness of your blade. I have been so pleased with my multiple Worx tools that I risked it. So glad I did. No need for cords, oils, fluids with this saw. It is fairly lightweight and easy to handle. Always wear eye protection! I put a longer pruning blade in it.Great value, so far good quality. Have used it several different work days at this point.

After years of sawing by hand, I finally decided to treat myself to a powered saw for smaller home projects. Since I already have a Worx weed trimmer (with 4.0Ah battery), it made sense to look at their brand for a reciprocating saw. Decided on this model because of the price and versatility. Last week I charged the battery and used the reciprocating feature to cut off three 5" legs of an old olive burl coffee table - incredibly heavy and very hard wood. Worked like a charm: smooth, solid performance, and not too heavy to hold at awkward angles. It came with a smaller battery (1.5Ah) but it got me through the 15 minutes it took to complete the project (six cuts) without a problem. As a life-long DIY female and now in the over-70 set, I really appreciate these efficient yet inexpensive battery-operated tools from Worx. I'll be investing in a variety of blades and using this one frequently.

I've had this saw for almost a year, from demolition to furniture work. It's a very versatile and maneuverable saw.As a jigsaw: it's about as good as any Ryobi jigsaw, which is to say quite good. There is surprisingly zero play from side to side. Be aware the blade isn't fully seated if it twists. Look closely to make sure it's seated. However, neither the height of the fence nor the angle of the blade cut can be changed...both of those actions can usually be changed on dedicated jigsaws. Note the Worx has both a light and a air blower. Personally, I'd take the light and air blower over being able to change the angle.As a sawZ: I'd say it's about half of my brushless Makita sawZ, but also with half the weight. If the orbital function is left on the Worx, then it cuts much faster but it can also kickback (harmlessly) or it can vibrate the material. Runtime of course is much less...I'd guess maybe 12 minutes versus an 40 minutes (both sawZ have variable speed triggers). Interestingly, the Makita has more blade exposed as the fence can be placed much closer to the tool. Both sawZ can plunge cut very well but I'd give the advantage to the Worx.Probably the biggest drawback is just the battery life. It's not good. In practice, I don't run out of power because my cuts are always going to be small, or with a different tool like a circular, miter, or table saw.
