Reciprocating Saw

The reciprocating saw is the go-to for demolition and rough cuts in wood, metal, and PVC. This section covers blades and cordless models for every material.

Blades by material: Harbor Freight blades, DeWalt blades, cutting metal, and cutting PVC.

Saws & models: cordless options, Ridgid, and Warrior 6-amp.

Accessories: drill attachments.

For the full saw lineup, see our tools & saws guide.

What blade should I use in a reciprocating saw? Match teeth-per-inch to the material — coarse (3–6 TPI) for wood, fine (14–24 TPI) for metal.

Can a reciprocating saw cut metal? Yes — with a bi-metal or carbide metal-cutting blade and a slower, steady feed.
