Bosch 1645 Cordless Reciprocating Saw Review

With an exclusive dual stroke cutting action the stroke length can be switched from 3/4 inch to 1-1/4 inch. The aggressive 1-1/4 inch stroke length removes more cutting debris than shorter strokes. The 3/4 inch stroke length cuts with reduced vibration, facilitating precision and plunge cuts, in addition to cuts in thinner material. Pressing a button allows the tilt-back foot assembly to move forward or back to one of three positions, which adds to a versatile depth-of-cut control and extends the blade life by making it easier to use different sections of teeth.

In addition, the cordless reciprocating saw features the Bosch tool-free blade-change system, which makes blade changes easy even with gloves on. This saves time. Other features include a soft-grip handle and rubber boot that absorbs vibration.

For a reciprocating saw, the Bosch 1645 is relatively easy on the arms, and for a cordless model, its has power that can't be beat.
