I can use the saw upside down presumably if its easier to cut upwards, but the arch over the pathway has several awkward angles and I would like to be able to cut ON the join line to replace easier where just a few sections need renewing. Being a Sunday I had to think of the quietest way of taking the shed down as to not disturb my new neighbours and unscrewing the shed already being out of the question due to rounded off screw heads, being unsafe etc. Usually I would just grab the chainsaw in this situation but being petrol this was going to be way too loud! I’m embarrassed to say that I don’t actually own a reciprocating saw for my gardening and landscaping business since I’ve never actually needed one, but when the time came that one was needed for my home I decided to opt for the Mac Allister MSRS850 850W electric reciprocating saw 220-240v. from Screwfix whilst still carrying a reliable brand, at least from experience and other reviews I have written anyway.

Out of a pack of 5, I had 2 left when finished which I feel was pretty good going considering how much I had to cut! The variable speed feature was great as it was as easy as releasing pressure on the trigger to reduce the speed of the blade and all I had to do it replace the blades was twist the blade quick release feature 90 degrees to release and replace.Looking at the DeWatt saw that you showed, it looks great, but I think I have got used to the 'long thin' dimensions, rather than the gun shape.

The down side has been that the bolt holding on the 'shoe plate' sheared off so I had to fix this with a new 4mm bolt.The 103 third parties who use cookies on this service do so for their purposes of displaying and measuring personalized ads, generating audience insights, and developing and improving products.
