Score: 72/100Rankings
The Porter-Cable PCC670B is a compact, lightweight cordless reciprocating saw ideal for demolition and rough-cutting in tight spaces. Its main trade-off is limited power and noticeable vibration compared to heavier, corded models. It is best suited for homeowners and DIYers who already own Porter-Cable 20V MAX batteries.
The Craftsman V20 Cordless Reciprocating Saw (CMCS300B) is a compact, tool-only power tool designed for DIY homeowners and light remodelers. Its brushed motor and lack of dual-speed settings are the main trade-offs. It is best suited for occasional users needing a budget compact saw for wood/metal demolition in tight spaces.
