- 1). Choose a trusted brand. Bosch, Dewalt, Milwaukee and Makita are top-end brands; Skil is a very popular manufacturer.
- 2). Look for a saw with variable speeds of 0 to 2,000 strokes per minute (spm), and consider one of the cordless types.
- 3). Expect to pay at least $120 for a good reciprocating saw.
- 4). Watch for sales. Sears and most large hardware stores will carry reciprocating saws. You can buy one online from the manufacturer or at many places that sell power tools for home use.
- 5). Ask your salesperson about the store's return policy and available warranties.
- 6). Compare prices on the Web if you are thinking of buying one online.
- 7). Allow at least two weeks for delivery if you are buying the product online or mail-ordering it. And if you're considering shipping this tool, remember that it weighs about 8 pounds.
