what are reciprocating saws used for
Reciprocating Saws. Reciprocating saws have a wide variety of uses in construction, plumbing, electrical and HVAC. Unlike most saws, which are used primarily to make precise cuts, reciprocating saws are often used for rough cuts or demolition. They deliver a lot of power to the blade, quickly slicing through materials such as metal, masonry, wood, plaster, fiberglass, stucco, composites and drywall.
