I have owned the Black & Decker Scorpion for 8 years and have cut down medium trees, fence posts, woodwork, metal, plastic anything so know how useful a reciprocating saw is. I bought the Bosch one for the freedom from cords and I own now 8 items in the Power for All range with 4 batteries. This tool is fantastic - I have lots of very mature shrubs in my garden which needed severe reduction and this just gets to places that nothing else can (even my Bosch telescopic chainsaw or any long handled secateurs). I cut the top half out of a 20ft high holly bush which branches out densely in every direction possible. I was able to get in with just the Recipricator and take out even knotty junction sections about 10-15cm thick.

Very powerful tool which requires practice to use fully. The speed of the saw is variable depending upon how hard you pull the switch – a very useful feature and reasonably easy to control. Vibration can be quite high depending on how firmly the work is held – pushing hard towards the base plate minimises it. I use two 2.5 ah batteries – they charge very quickly and are easy to change. It is quite heavy to use one handed and would be improved by having an eye moulded onto the front of the casing to hook a strap onto – ergonomics are a weak point of Bosch tools; it is however very well made. For pruning trees and cutting up kindling it is excellent.It is far safer than a chainsaw but I would say 2 to 2.5 inches is the maximum practical diameter of branch it can be used for,

bought this without batteries and used the 2 from my bosch drill. having one on charge and one in use allows more or less continual use- with breaks, cleared overgrown bushes and saplings from the garden. trunks up to 15 cm. (using the longer wood blades which i bought at same time)Best to buy spare blades- none have broken but 1 got stuck in a branch (misjudged how branch would open up when cut)only used it for gardening but would guess not accurate enough for wood working

Read previous review and took my time before purchasing. Now pleased I have acquired. This saw come without a battery but I have two with my Bosch cordless drill that fit this product. Lightweight and can be used single handed but you can find it difficult to press both switches at the same time. That said for light work pruning smallish tree branches I would say give it a go.

Very useful outdoor tool. Have used to lop tree and for building decking and been invaluable. Uses battery much faster than Bosch drill but makes light work of sawing jobs. 10x faster than hand cutting. Very pleased.Only grumble is natural hand position, its very hard to push "unlock" button and trigger at the same time.

So far so good, took this into the garden to remove some big branches and some small trees and it did the job very well. It is a little heavy but you don't notice in use as its pushed against what you are cutting. Really like that it is a bare tool as I dont need another charger and already have 2 batteries. Top tool.

This versatile tool is better than expected and has made some difficult autumn pruning tasks much easier I have also used to rough-cut some aluminium plate and to cut off some seized bolts on my restoration car project. I throughly recommend this tool particularly is you already have the 18v power for all batteries.

A flexible and useful tool but not sure what it is best for yet.1. hard to get a straight cut - circular or jigsaw better2. lot of vibration3. in garden, chain saw better for large branches4. chopper better for small ones*****Comes without a battery***** It uses the same ones as my Bosch screwdriver though.

Bought as a collection for my power 4all battery kit. You'll need at least a couple of batteries for gardening, but having the same battery to run a range of DIY tools is the way to go. Only proble is if they change the range and batteries become obsolete, then you'll have to change your entire range.

This is a powerful saw but as the blade is narrow you get a fair bit of vibration. If it is being used in the garden any branches that you are cutting do need to be held steady, otherwise you get more vibration than cutting of the branch. Nonetheless, if used with care entirely satisfactory

This is a total godsend, I have been trimming my heavily overgrown trees with this. I have also shortened my kitchen worktop to fit a new oven, and loads of other things.Another well built powerful and flexible Bosch tool. I doubt I’ll ever buy another brand now.

Very good saw. Using to tidy up overgrown hedge with a specific wood sawing blade. No problems cutting through 5 inch stumps. 1.5Ah 18v drill battery lasts about 10 minutes. Keeping the spare charged extends cutting time.

we had to cut some small trees in our garden , and I used this saw to cut them further down , so I could dispose them in my car. And it did a great job.Battery one full charge will last you good 20 min or so.

Bought as part of my expanding Bosch cordless tool kit.Exceeded my expectations in both length of use and power .Just remember that the batteries are over £40 but can be shared across the Bosch range
