What about this $50 recip saw at HD? I usually think ryobi is pretty good but I have a couple duds. A cheap vacuum works all right but it’s so loud I don’t want to use it. An electric planer failed after a few uses. Drills, sander, vibration cutter, detail sander, small lawn mower, have all been good. Anyway this recip saw is lighter and smaller than the brushless version they also have for $180. Anybody have one of these $50 ones? I want to cut metal with it besides the usual construction tasks.

 
I've got a princess auto powerfist recip with a cord.
It has never stopped in the middle of any job.

Where a fella should spend money...is the blades...

In your case, for a recip that'll see occasional use, works with the batteries you have and is still only 50$...
In my opinion is a good deal.

Just stick with good quality blades...
I'm a fan of the Diablo Steel Demon series myself
My dry cut saw, my 4-1/2" grinder, my hole saw kit ...
I get decent life from them.

It’s one hell of a deal: US$79 down here:

The only problem is that you’ll need to spend more on a battery & charger so you can try it out. I’d try to get the store manager (not a supervisor, the actual store manager) and see if they’ll let you try out a demo unit (they should have one) and then decide. It has a 3 year warranty, and although I don’t have sny cordless Ryobi tools the corded ones I have or had were good. I have a Craftsman C-3 19V recip and it works great.

If it looks new and only $50 with batteries & charger there’s got to be a catch (and I don’t think the warranty is transferable).
 
I'm only going to use this in the shop so I guess I could call it a tool. Over the years I have purchased every major brand of battery operated heated insoles for working in the shop in the winter and if I'm lucky they might make it through the winter, but never a second winter.

Arrived on Friday from McMaster-Carr, it is blissfully warm. Should have done it yrs ago.

Yeh but. Obviously designed by the marketing department, any one with brains would know that to work properly on a toboggan it needs to be cordless.

Actually it’s probably one of his battery warmers for the cold climates.
We will have to see if the bots watching us will pass it along to him.
 
Just saw one of the Cybertrucks next to me at a stoplight. $138k for a truck with a 6’x4’ bed, no possible way to add a canopy, and a design that looks like it was done by a kid in kindergarten? Perhaps not. It will do 0-100 mph in 2.7 seconds, but that’s not generally one of the criteria I used to select a pickup. Maybe not intended for my demographics.

I saw one in person a couple days ago for the first time....it's even uglier than I expected. I didn't expect it to be good looking or beautiful but it looks like a poorly made kit car.
