The Porter-Cable PC18RS Reciprocating Saw is a powerful, compact tool that lets you work in tight spaces without sacrificing performance and precision. The saw's patented system allows for fast blade removal, giving you more time to get your work done and instead of worrying about the equipment.

The Porter-Cable Reciprocating Saw:

Features cordless operation for convenience.
Employs a powerful motor that delivers a cut speed of 3,000 strokes per minute.
Has a pivoting shoe for complex cuts.

The variable-speed trigger can deliver up to 3,000 strokes per minute. .
The rubber boot and handle provide relief from vibration. .Variable Trigger for Precision CutsThe PC18RS features a variable-speed trigger that delivers a cut speed of up to 3,000 strokes per minute (SPM) for fast, aggressive cuts with a wide array of materials. Because of its small size, the reciprocating saw can be maneuvered in tight spaces for greater versatility when compared with larger, unwieldy saws. The saw also features a pivoting shoe that offers added control in complex cuts.
Smart, Efficient DesignA patented tool-free blade-changing system allows you to quickly remove and change blades. No more wrestling with blades and looking for small bits and keys--simply change and go. The PC18RS comes with an oversized rubber boot and grip for comfort and safety.
Convenient Cordless OperationThanks to the cordless design, you can work on the job site safely and efficiently. And as part of the Porter-Cable Tradesman cordless line of tools, the PC18RS reciprocating saw uses an 18-volt battery that can be used interchangeably between other tools in the line. You can choose from either a nickel-cadmium or lithium-ion battery. Both types of batteries, and their respective chargers, are sold separately.

Customer Reviews

Product was just as described. Very sturdy and appeared to be new even though I think it is refurbished. It is lightweight even with the battery attached. I am impressed for the price.

When the product got to my house I opened the amazon box to find the porter cable box already opened. At first I thought that was odd, but assumed it was to ensure all parts were there. Well I was very disappointed when I did not find the woodcutting blade in the shipment when on the description on amazon.com it says in the box comes with saw AND blade! So headed to Lowes to buy a blade, not worried about the quality of the Porter Cable saw because all my cordless tools are porter cable and I love them! Good quality for a do-it-yourself home owner,and they are not expensive. Low review is for Amazon.com NOT Porter Cable!
