Default Any views on akes if reciprocating saw?

Its the standard sort like this:

I looked at the twin blade types like the tyrannosaw but the problem with these is that generic blades are not
available, and the manufactures blades are pretty expensive.

Its for cutting up scrap wood for wood burners and the wood can be full of fasteners - knackering blades is quite possible.


Cheers - Adam

Bosch seems to offer more gadgets (360 degree adjustable blade etc)
while the others have slightly bigger motors (1000w as opposed to 900w).


Any views on the quality or reliability of these makes?


What sort of reciprocating saw? There are ones with long blades (like the
ill fated B&D Scorpian - at least in earlier versions) and ones with short
blades. Then there are twin blade types where the cutters go in opposite
directions. What use do you intend it for?
