Makes easy work of woodcutting
Confession: I’m almost 70 years old and have never owned an electric saw before! I’ve gotten away with handsaws but lately I’ve had to prune back a lot of branches from trees in my yard. I have other tools (and appliances) from Black & Decker and they do tools very well. I was debating whether to get a corded or cordless reciprocating saw, and because I’ve weed-whacked through a couple of electric cords on my corded weedwhacker, I thought battery would be the way to go. Especially if I have to reach to cut branches. This “kit” is a very good deal (it was on sale but even at full price, it’s a good buy) because you get the tool body, one battery, a charger, and one blade. You probably want to order some extra blades, and most fit this drill—its blades are standard size. Having never owned one of these before, I was intimidated, but this was just so easy. The battery comes partially charged, so you’ll need to charge it for a few hours. It’s easy to attach to the drill, and the blade slips in and locks easily. This is a safety on this so you don’t turn it on accidentally. It’s easy to handle—not too heavy and fits my hands well. I had some long but thin branches and thicker tree limbs that I had to cut into three-foot sections to dispose of in my green can. This saw cut right through the thinner ones like butter. It did vibrate quite a bit with the thicker ones; I’d say the thickest were maybe five inches around. But it cut everything a lot more quickly than a handsaw! What might have taken me half a day took less than an hour. The battery lasted through this session and the blade does look a bit worn after cutting a lot branches, but since I’m new at this, I don’t know how long that initial blade is intended to last. I’ve only used this saw on wood so far, but for light-duty work, this seems like a great deal for the amateur.

    I recently purchased the BLACK+DECKER 20V MAX Cordless Reciprocating Saw, and it has exceeded my expectations! The cordless design makes it incredibly convenient to use without worrying about power cords getting in the way. The 20V battery provides plenty of power, making it great for cutting through wood, metal, and even PVC with ease.
    The tool-free blade change is a fantastic feature, allowing for quick and hassle-free blade swaps. It’s also lightweight and well-balanced, making it comfortable to use for extended periods without causing strain.

    Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2025
    Style: Reciprocating Saw KitVerified Purchase
    Used it for cutting down small trees (4" or so), and it worked reasonably well. It can shake quite a bit, so be prepared for that (I ended up with a blister on my thumb). The blade also jammed up in the trunk more than I'd like, but that could be me (first time I've used one). I' be using it for the same purpose and for cutting up the [small] logs on fallen trees and thicker branches. Cutting speed was not quick; I was cutting oak.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Woo hoo! Works a charm!
    Reviewed in the United States on June 5, 2019
    Style: Reciprocating Saw KitVerified Purchase
    Woo hoo! This BLACK+DECKER BDCR20C 20V MAX Reciprocating Saw with Battery and Charger works a charm to keep my trees and bushes pruned and more.

    I am an aging woman and an avid DIYer. I have a fairly large property with many, mature trees and vegetation. I already own a couple of corded Sawzall reciprocating saws and find them indispensable but they are large and unwieldy in tight places. And managing the extension cord is a huge pain when getting on the roof to trim back branches. Since I already own a number of 20V, cordless, Black+Decker tools so I have extra batteries, I decided to buy this saw.

    First of all, the saw is much lighter than the corded reciprocating saws I already own. I liked that but I also worried it wouldn't be powerful enough to saw through thicker branches and limbs. I needn't have worried because this thing has plenty of power. It cut through virtually every limb and branch last weekend when we did a marathon tree clean up and still had battery life left! (I bought two of these saws.) I don't have a lot of upper arms strength and I had no issues using this saw.

    The saw comes with one, short, wood, blade and interestingly, even though the description says Saw Only, there was also a battery and a charger in the box. It accepts reciprocating saw blades of various makers. The blades are a snap to install - just flip the black tab on the side up and put the blade in. Then flip the black tab back down and it locks the blade into place.

    And you can use it for much more than pruning! You can cut metal and sheet rock too if you buy the appropriate blades.

    I am sold on cordless tools for the average homeowner. Not having to be near and electrical outlet or wrangle a long extension cord makes most tasks much less of a chore. If you already own 20V Black+Decker tools, this saw is an obvious choice because the batteries and chargers will be interchangeable. The only thing this saw is missing is a case - and I like to use cases to keep blades together with the saw. I did find that this fits nicely (with the blade removed) in a large, empty, plastic, cat litter, tub like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Purina-Tidy-Cats-LightWeight-Solutions/dp/B01MAUD4XH/ There is plenty of room for blades, batteries and chargers, too.

    UPDATE: Just did a major tree trimming at my mother's home, which was long overdue. While we also had an electric pole saw with us, these cordless reciprocating saws were the winners, hands down. Battery life is great (although I do have extra batteries) and they just work so well. Lightweight enough to easily use on a ladder and so much faster than having to drag an extension cord everywhere. I recommend this tool strongly.

    Style: Reciprocating Saw KitVerified Purchase
    Confession: I’m almost 70 years old and have never owned an electric saw before! I’ve gotten away with handsaws but lately I’ve had to prune back a lot of branches from trees in my yard. I have other tools (and appliances) from Black & Decker and they do tools very well. I was debating whether to get a corded or cordless reciprocating saw, and because I’ve weed-whacked through a couple of electric cords on my corded weedwhacker, I thought battery would be the way to go. Especially if I have to reach to cut branches.

    This “kit” is a very good deal (it was on sale but even at full price, it’s a good buy) because you get the tool body, one battery, a charger, and one blade. You probably want to order some extra blades, and most fit this drill—its blades are standard size.

    Having never owned one of these before, I was intimidated, but this was just so easy. The battery comes partially charged, so you’ll need to charge it for a few hours. It’s easy to attach to the drill, and the blade slips in and locks easily. This is a safety on this so you don’t turn it on accidentally. It’s easy to handle—not too heavy and fits my hands well.

    I had some long but thin branches and thicker tree limbs that I had to cut into three-foot sections to dispose of in my green can. This saw cut right through the thinner ones like butter. It did vibrate quite a bit with the thicker ones; I’d say the thickest were maybe five inches around. But it cut everything a lot more quickly than a handsaw! What might have taken me half a day took less than an hour.

    The battery lasted through this session and the blade does look a bit worn after cutting a lot branches, but since I’m new at this, I don’t know how long that initial blade is intended to last.

    I’ve only used this saw on wood so far, but for light-duty work, this seems like a great deal for the amateur.

    I used the saw straight from the post office trimming trees. It's excellent with plenty of power and easy to use. I have both cord and corded versions. Planning to trim/prune my orange and tangerine trees. I'm getting older so I have to work not to wear myself out. Black and Decker quality recommended tool for multiple projects.

    Love this Cordless Drill. Had to cut 8' deck boards in half in my barn..during an ice storm. No hydro in my barn so this was a life saver. I purchased an extra battery but all the work was done on one battery. Great tool. I have been using a B&D Reciprocating corded Saw for years and never disappointed in their products.

    Can't go wrong with black and decker in my opinion. Used them for years for both DIY and professional use and it's always been up to the job. This saw was no different. Very powerful and easy to use. Only thing bad I could say about it is the blade wasn't the best but nothing to fuss about. It cuts okay but a bit to flexible for my liking. Saying that it only comes with one wood cutting blade so it's worth getting some more anyway...

    First, I felt flimsy because light weight, but changed my my mind, its' cut so smoothly and fast. I have cheap corded reciprocating saw purchased from local Canadian tire long time ago, it's heavy, slow, battery powered saw was not available at that time. Battery powered reciprocating saw came long way. It's cut so fast and smooth, I can't believe it. B&D is inexpensive, but has a good motor, all my B&D electrical tool lasted long time. I recommend this for occasional user.
