In 2001, I purchased a set of DeWalt 18v tools that included the typical
drill, light, "sawzall" (dunno what DeWalt calls them) and a couple other
battery tools.

Outside of the drill, the "sawzall" is probably the handiest and most used
of those tools. *I use it frequently to trim palm fronds, cut up windfall
and have even been with a neighbor using it to cut up several old bookcases
so they could be hauled away. *It's one of those tools that just keeps going
and going. *Especially nice is the lever-action device that secures the
blade in the reciprocating head. *One thing I felt that might benefit from
some design work was the swivel foot of the saw. *It fastened to the body
with two Phillips screws and required a screwdriver to remove.

My neighbor admired and borrowed my "sawzall" enough that he recently
purchased one for himself. *Yesterday, he came over to ask me what the
'button' was on the hand guard. I got my own saw out and sure enough, there
was no button. *We looked at the two saws side-by-side and I finally
discovered what it was. *DeWalt had installed a release button for the
swivel foot. *When depressed you could remove the rod that held the foot.
