I’ve got dewalt stuff. I like it. It’s been used more than most as I also do some carpentry work. Years ago my crew ran yellow stuff so I went that route. I haven’t had nearly as many problems as I’ve heard others have with dewalt

I’ll say it. I think a lot of people are just haters. Basically any of the “big three” are gonna be basically equal
You speak truth Jake...many folks are haters, which carries with it, a miserable as hell component.:thumbsup:
Leaning closer to Harbor Freights "Hercules series or Makita".

Hmm...Easy Now! Perhaps it is obvious to you, yet I don't have a point of reference on this.
Common sense has me asking those who do have a point of reference their experience.

I just stated in my post they were freaking suspect and the reviews are treacherous:rolleyes:

The blessing is this..."I don't have to buy anything fast or in a hurry and my $$$ is straight.;)
I did not intend my post to be offensive!
My apologies if it came over as such.

Those 40$ "all included" battery tool kits can work, but Temu being what it is may not be the best choice for origin of purchase.

This week my local supermarket has a battery powered reciprocating saw w/o battery & charger - 49€
It is a brand I already have cordless tooling from as well as a couple batteries & chargers so for me it would be a great choice if I needed one.

Explore available products, weigh Your options.

Those are no 36 Volt battery packs!!!
The "36Vf" is a scam/ruse.

Those are 18 Volt packs at most.
And looking at the tiny charger it is neither powerful nor "smart".
So yeah - unlimited repeated power draw at Your wall socket and good luck finding replacement batteries.

Just stating the obvious, a little bit of common sense & logic can save time & $$$.
But if You buy it let us know how You like it.

I don't need YT to see/recognize a fake/scam battery product staring at my face!

I had my 2+ decades of Li-Ion battery frenzy and I slaughtered my fair share of battery packs from NiCd to Li-Ion/Polimer.

Nabbed this up a couple days ago from Harbor Freight.
Thus far it has performed as described and proven itself rather handy!

I bought a couple of the 9" Diablo pruning blades and they cut great...kinda interested in seeing how the 6 inch version does. The 9 incher seems to twitch, just a tad around the tip...nothing crazy though.🤔

But, again...I have no point of reference on this things...

It made short work of these limbs and diced them into kindling in no time flat.
Also, cut some 2x4's into wedges easily.

I appreciate all the feedback for sure.
Guess what?

Good ole TEMU lost out this time around!!:aaaaa::cbiggrin::deal::nono:

I have Ridgid cordless tools going back over 13 years. Lifetime warranty on tools and batteries. Worn out (and maybe a "little abused" ) a 5 year old full size (two handed) reciprocating saw as a tree cutting saw. Contacted them for warranty repair, Ridgid said they would just replace it with a new current model instead of repairing it. I have also have the one handed reciprocating saw for about a year, love it for the little stuff. I have not yet had a battery go bad. Have string trimmer, blower, drill, impact, circular saw, etc.

A couple years ago my dad gave me some Ridgid drills and batteries and chargers and a radio. All old from when he first started doing construction and quickly realized he wanted to upgrade everything to Milwaukee since the Ridgids just weren't cut out for daily hard use in his line of work. However, they work great for me working on small engines and projects around the farm on occasion. I don't use them a whole lot. For being given to me I'm very happy. Also, their warranty is great, these are old units, and I was able to get 2 new batteries and 1 new charger sent to me as long as I dropped the old stuff off at home Depot.
