Description of Bosch RS20 13-amp Reciprocating Saw
These recips saws keep getting better and better. Here's one from Bosch that incorporates some really nice user-friendly features into a powerful, precise machine. We like the Direct Connect system rather than a dangling cord; you just plug a 12AWG cord right into the tool. Spring clips keep it secure, and you loop the cord through a slot in the handle and press it into a molded channel for added staying power. The foot design earns points from us: Just push a button and slide the foot mechanism into one of three detents, where it clicks soundly into place. (You'll know you extended too far if you actually see a notch.) The footplate itself is a great design, pivoting to keep its surface on your workpiece. Plunge cuts are simple enough, and Bosch suggests that for better control on plunge cuts, you insert the blade with the teeth up and use the tool upside down. It really does handle better this way. (Just remember to flip the blade over when you're done with this cut.) Changing the blade is an easy two-second, one-handed affair with this LockJaw system-the old blade ejects with just a twist of the locking collar. We found the built-in work light to be bright enough, and there's a handy blade storage device on the tool. The variable speed trigger is smooth and easy on the hand, and two gear settings give you a wide range of speeds for all kinds of materials, from low speeds for metal to 2,800 strokes per minute for softer materials like wallboard and wood. Bosch has always paid attention to ergonomics, and you feel that when you pick up this saw, from the soft grip on the comfortably curved handle to the nice arc design of the tool's body all the way through the rubber boot. It's Brute-drive tough and a heck of a saw.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteTools and Hardware Reviews of Bosch RS20 13-amp Reciprocating Saw
Customer Review: waste of money so far
Summary: 1 Stars
I'm a framing carpenter and I make my living with my tools so I was pretty pissed off when my brand new sawsall stopped working after only a few min. of use I talked to bosch and they said they'll replace it for free but I don't have high hopes for it in the future
