It’s time for another Cool Tool review. This might be the most hardcore, straight-up tool I’ve ever reviewed. This is a cordless reciprocating saw, also known as a Sawzall. This particular one is a compact, brushless model from DeWalt. I bought it on Amazon for around $132 for the bare tool. I’ve got links to this one, plus blades and batteries, down in the show notes, which help support my videos and the Cool Tools blog.
