Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Craftsman reciprocating saw good enough for remodeling?
For one remodeling project, it'll get through. For ongoing demo work, step up to a DeWalt or Milwaukee. The Craftsman lacks orbital action and has less cutting power, which means slower progress through thick material.
How does the Craftsman compare to the Ryobi PBLRS01B?
Close. The Ryobi is $10 more and lighter by 0.7 lbs. Craftsman has slightly higher SPM on paper but less real-world cutting power. Both are entry-level tools. Pick based on your battery platform.
