SawzAlls should be made illegal for plumbers and electricians =)

Oh, yeah. Big-time handy. I wouldn't be without one. I've had a Craftsman
reciprocating saw for fifteen years or more, and I can't begin to count
the
number of times I've used it, or the different jobs I've used it for.

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 ?

Same thing. SawzAll is the brand name for the reciprocating saw made by
Milwaukee.

I would like a saw where I could make short cuts in tight places,

Just the ticket.

and in
which I could put a tempered blade in and cut a small bolt loose, cut up
rebar, and things like that.

Reciprocating saws work for those tasks -- but an angle grinder might work
better.
