Tool Review: DeWalt reciprocating saw, DW304

I thought I would do a review of some of my hand tools and power tools. I will start with the work horse, my DeWalt DW304 reciprocating saw.

I bought this about 12 years ago and it has taken a beating. I have used it for most of my demolition work, removing walls, sawing through studs, pipes, nails and in some cases unused electrical wires. I have also used it for work related activities, once sawing a 20 KW RCA FM transmitter in half to remove it because it would not fit through the door. I have sawed a 1/4 inch thick steal plate in half with this. I have used it to cut fence posts, trim tree limbs, cut rusty bolts away, etc, etc.

It has been dropped, kicked and once had a 450 pound transformer fall over on top of it. I would call this one tough unit. I forget what I paid for it, but it did not seem like much at the time. I can say I have more than received my money’s worth from this tool. For more reviews, you can read here .
