Product Overview

Tacklife RPRS01A is a relatively powerful, advanced, and reliable reciprocating saw ideal for demolishing and remodeling projects on wood, metal, and plastic. The tool comes with advanced technology, innovative features, and excellent build quality ideal for medium to heavy-duty operations.

With its rotary handle that turns up to 180 degrees, high-power motor, variable speed trigger, and other outstanding functions, this device guarantees an excellent cutting operation with extreme user convenience.

Some Unique Features Of The RPRS01A

• High-Speed Motor: Tacklife RPRS01A features an 850W rated motor capable of delivering up to 2800 strokes per minute. For Tacklife reciprocating saw within its class, this device provides the highest speed. However, for high-end brands, the device comes a little short. Still, the speed and motor provide enough power required for medium to heavy-duty demolition and remodeling on wood, metal, and plastic.

• Variable Speed Control: Working on different materials with different depths will certainly require varying speeds. So, for this tool to adapt to these material or depth changes, it features a variable speed control dial. Also, with this trigger knob, you can alter the cutting speed of the device to get more accurate cuts and a brilliant finish on those workpieces. 
• Lock-on Switch: Pushing down a button throughout the cutting operation will put stress on your fingers. Worse yet, make your cuts less- accurate and poorly finished. To eradicate such gloomy circumstances, this tool comes with a Lock-on button. This function lets you, as the name implies, lock-on the speed you need for your cutting operation. When locked, the saw will stay at that speed as long as you want it.  
• Cutting Ability: Overall, the cutting performance of this saw is excellent.  First, it features a rotary handle that turns 180degress left or right and three-position operations for flush cutting and more versatility. The pivoting shoe can be adjusted relative to the cutting area- improving the cutting efficiency and performance. Still, the device is only ideal for cutting 18mm in wood and 10mm in metal.
• Spindle Lock: Having a top-quality blade is one thing, the ease of changing the blade is another. Some saws require a tool for fitting or unfitting blades from its position but that reduces the machine’s overall user-friendliness. On this device, there is a secured tool-free blade clamp that fits or unfits the blade in or out of position when the spring-loaded pin is pushed down. Thus, allowing a quick and easy blade change.
• Soft Grip Handle: Power-tools with motors that run at high speed will vibrate. Albeit, the rubber over-mould on the handle of this tool disallows the transfer of a large portion of this vibration to the user’s hands. The soft-grip further improves the machine’s overall handling- allowing a firm grip of the tool.
