Good Home Use Saw / or light duty work saw. [Posted on 2007-01-09]
I needed a saw for home use and thought that the WORX Assault was a good choice. Milwaukee, lets face it they are the best for reciprocating saws. I use a Milwaukee at work and its a great tool, it can take a beating but I wanted something for home use. I chose this saw because of the revolving handle, I also liked the LED lights, they really work great. I think they could have chose whiter LEDs but its not that important. I cannot tell just how tough the handle is, it seems solid but I wonder if the little ribs on the inside of the handle are the only thing holding it wen locked in position. Will the saw break the hanlde if dropped? I am not going to find out on purpose, but I got it for home use I am not going to be climbing between the ceiling joists and rafters with this too much. The blade release is a push in kinda wedge button along the clamp that holds the blade. It would be nice to have a flip button blade change system but its easy to change blades with the way this one is set up. Its about 1 1/2" to 2" shorter than other 15 amp reciprocating saws wich some people may like but its really a negligible issue. This Saw is 10 AMPs not 15 thats to bad, I think this saw could be a 15 AMP easy. The weight, The weight of this saw is - well - allot Its as heavey as any other 15 AMP saw (but this ones only 10? - what the hey?) I dont have a scale but I can feel the difference wen side by side to another saw. Over head work will make you tired after a while. Its just a little to heavy.
Dual Work Light LEDs - Thumbs up!
A Tad shorter - Good!
Nice Fat full length rubber boot casing - Thumbs Up!
Weight - Ugg! (less power but more weight?)
Blade Change - Relatively easy!
Power housing - Dual insulated! (no third prong to break off accidentally)
Handle - Good! Easy to move and hase a safty cach so the tool will not start unless the handle lock is engaged.
Handle Trigger, Auto run trigger catch - Thumbs up!
Orbital Action quick change swich - Thumbs up! (no difficult to trun mini recessed wheel)
Either decrease the weight or increase the AMPs from 10 to 15.
Thats what I say.

I love this saw! It is well balanced and feels solid. The saw runs very smooth. I have only used it half a dozen times, but as a full time carpenter it will soon be put to the real test. More on that later.

It's a pretty heavy model, it looks tough ... I used it briefly to cut nails around a door frame, everything worked well. I like the fact that the LED on board is working with a dynamo and not on battery, however you need to get the saw to go fast to get the brightest light.
I wish it had come with more than just one blade. The blade included is a metal blade.
Also I hope that the saw blades are standard between brands, though I'm not sure yet.

I am not claiming to be an expert in reciprocating saws but I do have a background in Health and Safety and ergonomics and 10 years of construction background and I believe this is a winner from an ergo standpoint. The saw has good power and is easy to adjust but I can't say how it would hold up over the long hall if used in a commercial setting. It does seem a bit heavy for its size but has been a joy to use on different materials and projects so far. I have friends in the trades that want to use it and that is where the ergo features will really shine over time.
