I am not much of a do-it-yourselfer, but I do have some basic homowner
tools. One tool that I have thought of purchasing as I think it would
be handy in many instances , is a recriprocating saw.

I have heard of a Sawz-All (not sure of spelling). Is this the same as,
or just similar to a reciprocating saw ? Is it a brand name ? Is there a
need to have both ?

I would like a saw where I could make short cuts in tight places, and in
which I could put a tempered blade in and cut a small bolt loose, cut up
rebar, and things like that.

Any comments ???

Thanks for any advice on these "green" questions !!

I have the Milwaukee Sawzall. It can take various types and sizes of
blades. I used it last week to cut off the bolts to my car's muffler.
There's a more powerful "Super Sawzall." It really is a "wonder saw"
but its use is mostly for demolition rather than precision jobs.
