   I compared features on reciprocating saws for weeks but kept coming back to this one. Ten amps at this price point is great as it is, but the 4-position blade clamp set it apart. The rock-solid feel, quality cord, excellent power and quick blade changes are all there… but getting them with the flexibility of changing the blade orientation at this price just doesn’t happen with other brands. I brought this home day one and used the horizontal blade orientation to flush-cut some sloppy work cemented to the underside of a kitchen counter.Very happy with my purchase through several projects so far, and I look forward to taking it to some iron rebar building a hog pit this spring.

   I have seen a few saws with rotating handles but the multi-position blade on the DeWalt makes it the most versatile for my work. It does it all!

   I have not used this saw yet, but, I have always had great luck with all the DeWalt tools that I have owned and used as a professional contractor.

   This Dewalt reciprocating saw is a great tool for the price. I was considering purchasing a slightly cheaper saw but there are some unique features on this model that can’t be matched. The DW304PK has come in very handy and is a great tool to have around.I didn’t consider a cordless model because I wanted the power and consistency of a cordless tool as well as the light weight. Power may not be an issue with the 24V models but I didn’t want to pay 4x the price of thisThe saw blades are easily replaced with a quick release mechanism. Just pull the tab and pull the blade out.The saw blade can also be positioned in 4 different ways to make it easier to get into tight spots. For instance if you need to get flush up against a wall, you can position the blade so that it is closer to the edge of the shoe. You can also turn the blade around so that if you’re cutting down a wall, the trigger will be facing away from the floor, making it easier to cut all the way down to the floor. The tool feels comfortable to hold no matter what position the blade is in.For people that have used traditional recip. saws, this may not seem like a big deal since if you use a longer blade you can flex it to get it to fit. This takes a bit more finesse and in the end you tend to deform the blade a bit.The shoe is a bit different from traditional reciprocating saws as it is fixed instead of pivoting. I’m not sure if it is better or worse but I had no problems with this shoe. The fixed shoe might be slightly better for making plunge cuts when the blade is in the normal position. When the blade is in a different position you can’t really use the shoe to pivot the blade into the material but it is not difficult to freehand it. Or just switch the blade around after making the plunge cut since changing the position of the blade is quick and easy.The motor seems very powerful and I haven’t had any problems getting through thick nails and screws, studs and single or dual layers of plywood. The motor never struggled, even when the blade was getting dull, though changing blades frequently makes things faster, easier and safer no matter what saw you are using. Vibration is good for this price range and the variable control switch operation is very smooth and gives great control.The stroke length and RPM are similar to the higher priced models. Higher priced saws may offer orbital cutting action to increase cutting speed, larger amped motor if you’re cutting into block or steel more, or a counterbalance to reduce vibration. Those features weren’t worth the price for me, for others they might be.I was also impressed by the quality of the case. It is very durable, the hinges operate smoothly and the latches hold the case securely closed. There is also plenty of room for storage of blades. The quality of the case was worth the slight increase of price over a cheaper saw.This is a great value with plenty of power. A counter balance would have been nice but not critical.

   I cut out a metal tub and it made the job very easy, the metal blades (Dewalt brand) did not last at all went thru 2 before the job was done.
