Summary: Don't waste your money
Comment: This saw is really a good idea. What it lacks is enough power to cut anything but soft plastic. I have a rechargable carving knife that cuts better than this thing. The battery is too weak for useful operation and I am sure that the development team knew it when before putting out in the market. There is a reason that Retailers are dumping their inventory and B&D is offering free batteries with purchases. You WILL be disappointed.

Summary: Little Saw, Big Dissapointment
Comment: Well I bought this as part of the VPX starter system. I thought awesome for the little projects around the house. The first thing I used it for was to cut a hole for a can light in the ceiling. It worked fantastic. However after that it just isn't good for much else. It only lasted me ten minutes before dying. That was after a full 6 hour battery charge. Well I recharged it and got another 8 minutes before dying on me. I was just cutting 3/8" pine into pieces to test it out. So I recharged the battery and tried it in one of my other VPX tools just to make sure the battery was a good one. It lasted long in my other tools. It was good idea, but the nature of the beast is that it sucks power fast! So all in all I think this saw is not worth it at all. Not sure if there is something wrong with mine or if it is the norm, but for me i will stick with my jigsaws, and other tools.

Summary: Overall Good Item
Comment: This item works really well for small jobs, I just wish the battery lasted a little longer. I have two spares, so it's not an issue, but if I didn't have them I can imagine it getting a little frustrating. Overall I think it's great for the price.

Summary: Great little saw for small jobs
Comment: I have a full power, corded Milwaukee Sawzall reciprocating saw, but it's just too big, too heavy, and too corded for the smaller jobs.
The VPX saw isn't a threat to a Sawzall. It can only handle small jobs. It'll choke up on a wet 2x4 or -- horrors -- a 2x4 with a nail in it. So don't use it for that.
Instead, it's great for cutting a small section of PVC or copper pipe. Or pruning a dead branch off a tree. Or a 1x2 or 1x4 or garden stakes. All those little jobs that you really don't want to pull out your handsaw and need a little light help.
The VPX charges well and I'm happy with it -- since I know its limitations.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Goes well with hot glue projects, not with screws or "real" jobs.
Comment: I bought this saw because it looks very handy; like a jig saw for tight places. Great concept, but I was disappointed. The saw lacks power, has no variable speed, and has an overall cheap feel about it. Cutting through 5/8 cabinet face was about all it could handle. Bottom line, this tool is well suited for the uber-scrapbooker, not the construction worker.
