Good Home Use Saw / or light duty work saw.
By N. D. ThunderEagle
I needed a saw for home use and thought that the WORX Assault was a good choice. Milwaukee, lets face it they are the best for reciprocating saws. I use a Milwaukee at work and its a great tool, it can take a beating but I wanted something for home use. I chose this saw because of the revolving handle, I also liked the LED lights, they really work great. I think they could have chose whiter LEDs but its not that important. I cannot tell just how tough the handle is, it seems solid but I wonder if the little ribs on the inside of the handle are the only thing holding it wen locked in position. Will the saw break the hanlde if dropped? I am not going to find out on purpose, but I got it for home use I am not going to be climbing between the ceiling joists and rafters with this too much. The blade release is a push in kinda wedge button along the clamp that holds the blade. It would be nice to have a flip button blade change system but its easy to change blades with the way this one is set up. Its about 1 1/2" to 2" shorter than other 15 amp reciprocating saws wich some people may like but its really a negligible issue. This Saw is 10 AMPs not 15 thats to bad, I think this saw could be a 15 AMP easy. The weight, The weight of this saw is - well - allot Its as heavey as any other 15 AMP saw (but this ones only 10? - what the hey?) I dont have a scale but I can feel the difference wen side by side to another saw. Over head work will make you tired after a while. Its just a little to heavy.Dual Work Light LEDs - Thumbs up!A Tad shorter - Good!Nice Fat full length rubber boot casing - Thumbs Up!Weight - Ugg! (less power but more weight?)Blade Change - Relatively easy!Power housing - Dual insulated! (no third prong to break off accidentally)Handle - Good! Easy to move and hase a safty cach so the tool will not start unless the handle lock is engaged.Handle Trigger, Auto run trigger catch - Thumbs up!Orbital Action quick change swich - Thumbs up! (no difficult to trun mini recessed wheel)Either decrease the weight or increase the AMPs from 10 to 15.Thats what I say.

Believe the hype...
By Mark Berryman
I picked this saw up for my father for Christmas, primarily because he asked for a saw, but also with the idea that he can't use it 24/7, and that I would get to use it eventually. We both were pleased with the design-Dad has some shoulder and carpal tunnel troubles so the adjustability of the handle is nice. It's very solidly built, maybe just a wee bit heavy for things like overhead work, but things like the LED lamps and trigger speed control make up for that.Of course this is all at first inspection, but it was certainly not constructed any worse than the top name brands I looked at like DeWalt, Milwaukee and the like. Now, time may tell but from what I can see this saw was worth the money. I give it four stars so far, I'd say five but the weight will be an issue for some.

Worx works!!
By M. Salasek
I am not claiming to be an expert in reciprocating saws but I do have a background in Health and Safety and ergonomics and 10 years of construction background and I believe this is a winner from an ergo standpoint. The saw has good power and is easy to adjust but I can't say how it would hold up over the long hall if used in a commercial setting. It does seem a bit heavy for its size but has been a joy to use on different materials and projects so far. I have friends in the trades that want to use it and that is where the ergo features will really shine over time.
