Customer Reviews

I am at a point in my tool-buying career where I don't always think I have to have the very best, and buying this tool is a good example. I got tired of borrowing my friend Allen's Milwaukee, and made the plunge when I needed a recip saw for a bathroom remodeling project. Sure its not a Super Sawzall, and it doesn't have orbital action or a speed dial, but for what I will use it for it is just fine. The extra features you pay for on the Milwaukee make it a little faster and more precise in certain materials, and if I were using one to make my living every day, I would shell out the two hundred bucks for the Sawzall, but in my semi-skilled hands, (And thats being generous), this little Hitachi will do every thing I need it to. I looked at the comparably priced Bosch and DeWalt models but felt the Hitachi was more solidly built, plus it came with a five year warranty. Its a little heavier than those other saws, which can actually be a plus in helping dampen some of the vibration inherent to any recip saw. It has plenty of power and a nice, chunky, rubberized, front grip. Plus I just liked the way it looked, (Any guy who says the looks of a tool aren't important is lying!). I am happy to report that the case, while not perfect, has obviously been upgraded to address concerns about its poor design. All in all, this is a fine, servicable tool that should serve me well for many years.

I am redoing my basement and wanted a easy way to cut the old stud partitions. After looking and reading about all the recip saws, I chose the CR13V. This saw did the job really well. The best part was that I didn't have to shell out mega bucks for a good saw. The only complaint I have is that it is a little heavy, but I did notice that when cutting the vibration was less than the Milwaukee I rented from the rental store before I bought the Hitachi CR13V. It comes with 1 blade, an allen wrench along and the case. It could have come with more blades.
