Reciprocating Saw PSA 700 E

Came next day via Amazon Prime and was well packaged.I bought this with the intention of cutting a lot of logs and wood for my wood burner. I've used a Bow Saw for years but I have a large amount of wood that has built up and I don't fancy standing for hours on end cutting manually and a chainsaw is frankly a bit overkill and potentially dangerous for the light home use I need.As such I was interested if this would fill the gap between manual sawing and full on chainsaw. I bought it along with the Bosch Saber Blades which are aimed at cutting logs etc. The saw also comes with a wood blade in the box but it's a smaller 6" blade for small jobs to get you started. Some people gave 1 star and said it didn't come with a blade, but I had no problem noticing a blade packaged next to the saw so not sure about those reviews.The saw feels pretty robust, I was going to go for a B&D Scorpion, but always felt that Bosch were a better quality and also some reviews of the Scorpion said it was very underpowered, so I went for this even at the higher price and so far am glad I did.Fitting the saw blades couldn't be easier. Flick the lever upwards on the mounting bracket and it allows the blade to be inserted in easily. Then release the spring loaded lever and the blade is held firmly in place. No screws to break or damage which is a nice design.I started off with some smaller branches, around 3" in diameter and the saw cut through them with no issues. I then moved onto the bigger logs around 10" in diameter and was impressed it handled it no problem. I think it will easily handle even bigger logs and will be moving onto those later, but so far am really pleased with the performance.Some have said these are underpowered or need too much pressure etc, but I think it's missing the point. These aren't for world record wood cutting attempts. If you need to cut a lot of wood quickly with heavy duty tools, then maybe consider a chain saw.These saws work well if you (as the old saying goes) let the tool do the work. I found pressing on too hard caused a lot of vibration to be sent through my hands and also caused poor cutting. A light touch and being patient with the saw will see it smoothly cut through big logs with ease. It might not be as quick as some might like, but it certainly beats sweating away with a bowsaw in my opinion.I cant comment on it's use with metal etc but I have bought a multipack of blades which includes metal blades and demolitions blades etc and I can't see why this would be an issue. The saw is powerful enough for general use but give it time and don't be tempted to try to rush by pushing hard on the blade.Overall I'm really pleased with this purchase. The saw is a nice size and weight, decent power and works extremely well for cutting logs that to be honest I thought might be too big for it.

Broke my last one. This is sturdy and has a superb keyless blade replacement mechanism. Just the job.

Excellent for tree pruning and cutting plastic sheeting

This is so easy to use.Great saw, and takes the effort out of cutting. Invaluable to anyone with a project.The blade that came with it has lasted a long time and has been used to build an entire pergola.The downside is when a respective neighbour dad walks by you have to switch to the manual hand saw, just to show your dominance, but once he has gone you can move back to this saw and revel in the ease of cutting.

My god! Terrific. I’ve been fighting with a Black and Decker for two years. This Bosch is so much easier to control and handle and cuts like a dream. The blade change is far easier. So glad I bought this!

Three years warranty. Brilliant. Cut 149 pallets up so far. Was going to get the 'professional' model but this is more than adequate. Blade is sharp. I am using it with a portable generator. Works great. Start the cut slow and get the timber close to the body of the saw. Enough power to cut down a forest. Feels very sturdy. Two hand operation is best and safest. Go get it. A+

Good

Arrived today, and hubby has already tested the item and pronounced it Excellent! At first we did think that the item had been purchased by someone else and returned, because there were signs of sawdust on it; however we now believe that it was tested first by the manufacturer, hence the sawdust.It works well, as excellently as the description and manual claimed, and it has a 3 year guarantee; hubby very, very happy with purchase. Would highly recommend seller; and Bosch.

Gute Qualität, keine Mängel, nur der Stecker musste auf Eu-Norm gewechselt weden.

Its perfect. A bit heavy.The saw blade is a little short, but you can buy longer ones.Efficient and simple to use.I used it mainly for fire wood cutting and trees pruning.
