A good reciprocating saw solves most demolition problems, and this cordless M18 model eliminates the hassle and trip hazards of an extension cord. The full-length soft-grip handle provides a comfortable, firm grip during use and works quickly and efficiently with a top speed of 3000 strokes per minute. The all-metal housing can withstand frequent, rough use and the internal power control prevents overheating.

Keep in mind that the $99 price tag they’re going with this Black Friday Milwaukee deal doesn’t include a battery, so if you don’t already have an existing Milwaukee tool collection, be prepared to purchase one separately.

For smaller demolition, plumbing and even landscaping jobs (it prunes trees and shrubs very well) you might consider purchasing an M18 Hackzall. This compact saw offers the functionality of a reciprocating blade, but in a compact size for one-handed use.

At just 19cm long, this saw can also fit into tight, awkward or overhead spaces, making it ideal for accessing hard-to-reach PVC pipes during plumbing projects. The keyless blade clamp makes it easy to change new blades, and a built-in LED illuminates dimly lit work areas, such as under the sink or in a crawl space.
