I wonder if they actually mean shear or if the press release auto-corrected from shake (the shit out of you). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stercorarius Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 I never understood why people hate the 20v recip. Just hold on loosely but don't let go if you cling too tightly you're gonna lose control. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The.Handyman Posted October 14, 2016 Report Share Posted October 14, 2016 It really is bad though Stercorarius. I was cutting up limbs with it after Hurricane Matthew came through and my hands became sore by the end of one 5.0ah battery. It is hard to hold loosely when you are working on keeping control over your cut. It just isn't fun to use. I have not tried any other brands cordless yet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I just had 38 special stuck in my head. I guess I've never used anything other than the DeWalt and Bosch so I don't have a good reference point and I'm not an extremely frequent use. When I use it I've never had an issue with it. Just the occasional cuts in the shop and some out in the field. Did construction for a while and that's when it got the most use cutting out old lags. I'd say it's maybe had forty battery drains on it max so I am willing to believe you guys when you say it vibrates too much. I grew up doing construction with a corded Milwaukee and then Bosch and then Ryobi. First cordless I used was a Kobalt at work and everything I've touched has been a step up from that.
