Skil Reciprocating Saw: Quality Performance, Fair Price

For most people the Skil brand name is associated with durability and quality. Founded in 1924, Skil-made power tools are well-known not only by do-it-yourselfers trying to see their home projects completed, but also by professionals looking for durable, yet reasonably-priced tools for the job site. A Skil reciprocating saw is no exception to this tradition, offering excellent performance at a fair price.

The Skil reciprocating saw model 9205 is an excellent choice for many homeowners needing a reliable tool for yard trimming (trees and bushes), and other home projects. Its 8.5-amp motor is adequate for all these jobs, able to slice through lumber and metal in addition to tree limbs, and features a 1-1/8-inch stroke length. It includes a variable speed dial so you can easily make adjustments for a faster or cleaner cut (up to 2700SPM). In addition, its adjustable pivoting shoe lets you reach into tighter spaces, making the saw even more versatile. And, to help you save time, this Skil reciprocating saw features on-tool blade storage and on-cord hex key, making accessing and changing your blades mid-project a breeze.

The Skil reciprocating saw not only lets you work faster, but also for longer periods of time, thanks to its comfort-grip handle, vibration control, and two-finger trigger. You’ll experience less fatigue as you operate this saw, and be able to complete your project in record time. It also has an overall user-friendly design, making it ideal for the novice DIYer who is worried about just turning the thing off! Its adjustable pivoting shoe gives the saw additional stability as you cut, which also creates greater security and peace of mind for the user.

The 9205 comes with three Skil Ugly Blades™ measuring 9 inches, which is a great start to your blade collection. Remember, using the right blade for the material you’re working with is a huge part of any saw’s performance. The saw itself retails for around $50-75, making it an economical (and still high-performing ) choice for the average do-it-yourselfer with a few projects around the house.
