We sell about 10 models of reciprocating saws including Milwaukee's Sawzall,
Makita's Recipro saw, Porter-Cable's Tiger saws and Hitachi's reciprocating
saws.
Currently the best value is the Porter-Cable Tiger saw, model 9737. You get
orbital action (not to be used for metal though), quick-change blade clamp,
11.5A (IIRC) and a plastic case for $199 Cnd. Milwaukee Super Sawzalls with
all equivelent features cost about $299 but you get a quik-cord (lots of $$$
to replace a quik-cord though).
Just some thoughts for those who want bang for the buck.

I'm in the market for a reciprocating saw and figured I'm check here
for recommendations before I bought one. I'll be using it for home and
hobby use but plan on mostly cutting metal up to 3/8" (I have a lot of
projects in backlog). Is the Milwuakee Sawzall still the standard?
I like the Porter Cable Tiger. Very nice quick-change feature.
