Somewhat of a disappointment [Posted on 2008-04-15]
I am a residential contractor and purchased 2 of these recips for my company. I own alot of dewalt tools, that I have been very happy with, I was shocked by the lack of power when I used this new 36v recip. It feels strong and well built, until you start cutting, once the blade begins to get presure on it, it will actually stop (Almost like it is geared too high?) I was using it to cut out a door jamb for the first time and when I got halfway through the shims, the blade gets binded on a little, and the recip would stop??? I was certain that it was defective, and ordered another one...same thing, I switched batterys, made sure they are fully changed, same problem. I will be returning both, and am going to research from now on before buying any further DeWalt products. I have the 36v 1/2" impact that works fantastic, very powerful, I guess I expected the same performance out of the new 36v recip.
Blade does bind & stop easily [Posted on 2008-08-12]
I'm just a regular guy and do scrap metal recycling on the side, I bought this tool because it was a DeWalt but now am having second thoughts. I agree that the blade does seem to bind and stop the saw easily. At first I thought it was just me, either that or a low battery. Wish I had done my research first. So far, I've cut a steel belted tire off a rim and some medium guage rectangular tubing. To my surprise the saw binded on the small tubing when I bore down ever so slightly. I had better luck on the tire, I used penetrating oil as a lubricant. I guess I'll keep a can of spray oil in the case from now on to address the binding/stopping, or maybe I'll just try to return it for Makita. To be fair, the saw is fairly light and comfortable to hold.
