Worx WX550L 20V Power Share Axis Cordless Reciprocating & Jig Saw (Battery & Charger Included)

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got this dual-purpose saw to keep in the the bag of Worx battery powered tools I keep in my vehicle (along with my Worx mini air compressor, etc.). I've used it for a couple of projects, and really like the way the reciprocating saw feature works (think Sawzall). It is of sufficient power and works well. Where this tool falls down a big is when it's used in the jig saw configuration. Yes, it works, and I've completed a couple of projects with it. The issue is, that due to the design necessary to have a dual use, the jig saw lacks the little stabilizing wheel that rides on the back of the blade. Now the Worx dedicated jig saw has the wheel, so doesn't suffer the same problem. Which is, simply, that without that support, the blade can rather too easily become detached. Now, if one is careful to keep pressure applied to the cut, and makes sure the workpiece is held securely (tough to do with a thin piece of veneer, for instance) it does work. It works much better with thicker workpieces, but with thin, flexible materials, it may become frustrating. In summary, this is a convenient two-in-one tool. And it does function "good enough" in both configurations, though best as a reciprocating saw. For keeping in a mini tool kit, it makes sense. Honestly, this is pretty much the only of many, many Worx tools that I don't highly recommend. It's handy, but if I had to do it over again, I'd purchase the dedicated Worx jig saw and reciprocating saw. Sorry Worx, this is a great idea, and if you could somehow engineer in a support wheel use in jig saw mode, it would be awesome. As it is, its good, but not great.

Ever need to cut a hole and trim an end on a board? Knowing that you have one tool that can do both without finding one or the other is great! All I had to do was change the head position, slip out one blade and insert the other was so easy. Normally I get so frustrated because it requires two different tools: jigsaw to cut the hole then the reciprocal saw to trim the 2X4 end. No frustration for me now.

I am very impressed with the function and how long the small batteries last on both tools. I am also very pleased with the one hand versatility of the saws-all! Worth every penny.

ABILITY TO FINISH UP AND TACKLE ANY PROJECT. FROM COMPATIBILITY WITH ITS DURABILITY IN EFFICIENCY AND FLEXIBILITY (-; WORKX ALWAYS KEEPS IT COMING!

I just installed a cedar fence around my backyard. I needed a tool that could cut some tree branches and also do some trimming on the fence panels. What a great tool, I cut some branches, then switching to the jig saw, cut some fence panels. It worked great and saved a lot of time.

Worked exactly as I expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a really great kit, tools and battery are powerful. Gets the job done

very nice tool. easy to use. the saws all with pruning blade is very convenient. great for pruning trees and bushes. I live in Arizona and our trees grow more like giant sunbaked bushes. the wood is incurably hard. the saws all is very convient. I would recommend this tool for anyone who needs a way to prune around the yard. Switching to the jig saw is fast and easy. i

Such a great idea to design this tool to be able to turn into another one.Love it!!

I purchased this tool because I already have Worx batteries that I use with various lawn tools. I thought it would compliment my garage tools. I was very pleased with how easy it was to go from cutting small branches on trees to cutting pieces of wood and metal for projects. The blades are easy to put in and switching from one saw to the next was simple. The battery is just fine for small projects and I use a 4.0AH battery if I know I'm doing a bigger project. One tool to do two different things. I am glad I purchased it.

I love that I can go from a Reciprocating Saw to a Jig Saw with a press of the button. So far both saw's work great - Great product!!

Great tools but would get five stars but it takes five hours to charge a battery with the charger that comes with it run time about an hour and a half. Should come with a fast charger not a charger that takes 5 hours to charge a single battery so therefore it gets three stars. Could not get a full day of work out of the batteries on a weekend project.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What a great idea! Two tools in one.

I had been considering this tool for several years, and finally several tasks around the house made it seem worthwhile. The thought was correct. It cut down some branches of a Boxwood quickly and precisely, then took on a dead holly. Easy to use with a good load of power.

Great power for small jobs and lightweight enough for senior citizens. Did the job in no time.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Axis 2 in 1 saw has been amazing. I used it to trim branches on a bush that would have been difficult using a conventional reciprocating saw. Being able to rotate the saw and the blade made the job a snap. Made some cuts on plastic fencing material with ease. My wife even tried it. Plenty of power from the 20V battery. They are balanced and easy to use. The battery removal is a bit of an issue. You have to firmly tap on bench to remove them from the tools. Hence the 4 star rating. The Impact Driver works well. It goes go into the impact mode a little early while driving screws, not a deal breaker by any means. It is well balanced and has good power. Overall, these are a great addition to any workshop. I highly recommend this kit.

Haven’t used it but typical quality build and I will use this a lot throughout this spring and summer season as a saws all it can get places a normal saw can’t as a jig saw it seems stable and agile well balanced

I works great. I got a second one.

I have had this saw for several years. Love it! I have lots of limbs that fall and are too big to break up by hand. This saw is easy to use and cuts even larger limbs so I can cut them into smaller sections to bag them for pick up.
