- The Bottom Line
Unsurprisingly, Kobalt sticks with a brushless motor. Using the tool’s variable speed trigger, you can run the blade up to 3200 SPM. Combined with a 1 1/4-inch stroke length, that’s a very solid number, keeping up with the best names in the business. Compared to the previous model, it’s 100 SPM higher with an extra 1/8-inch on the stroke length. Ho...
Size and Weight
Considering the performance level, this is a compact saw. It measures 17.1 inches from tip to tail (18.3 inches when you have a battery installed). Bare, it weighs 6.1 pounds and a 4.0Ah battery brings the total weight to 7.8 pounds before you add a blade.
Blade Changes
The only change we’re not crazy about is the shift of the blade release. The original model had a lever on the housing and the new one switches to a more traditional blade-mounted release. It’s still tool-free and the access is better than some models we’ve tested, though.
Shoe
As we expect on any reciprocating saw designed for serious DIY or professional work, the shoe pivots and has an adjustable length. To adjust the length and use a different part of your blade, press the button toward the front of the housing and adjust the shoe in or out. We really like that Kobalt designed it so that the shoe doesn’t come all the way out. It’s a small change, but it solves a minor pain point we have with some saws.
While it’s come down in price some over the years, Kobalt’s original 24V cordless reciprocating saw launched at $129 for the bare tool. The updated version? $129 for the bare tool. Considering the boost in performance, we’re not complaining. As usual, Kobalt has a 5-year warranty on the tool. It’s a great fit for serious DIYers and value-minded Pro...
The next-generation Kobalt 24V cordless reciprocating saw improves its cutting speed and makes serious gains in vibration control over the previous model. Perhaps most importantly for fans of the 24V line, it’s once again an excellent value with performance that punches above its price tag.
