The multi-purpose tool,
All I can say is that this particular tool has come in REAL handy in the month that I’ve owned it. From cutting through wood with nails (deck expansion) to cutting off LARGE branches from a tree(s) that fell in my yard after a storm (and onto my car!), this tool has been used extensively.
The battery life of the 3 amp hour lithium ion battery is amazing! The durability of the saw is impressive in that most of the environments I’ve used it in have been dirty and wet, yet the saw works like it did when it was new. Only it’s transformer looks now have blended in with the dirt.
I actually like the looks of the drill in that conveys that the tool can wreck some damage! Or just plain cut a lot of stuff up without having to worry about running out of juice.

Hitachi Power,
A little bit on the heavy side but it feels very good in your hands. It is very powerful, I have tried it on some medium density metals and it passed through like butter
It was poorly packaged by the seller but no issue with the tool. The lithium batteries (I have a pair from my drill) are a big plus (light and outlast any NiCd or NiMh
battery)
Overall a very solid purchase at a decent price

Hitachi CR18DLP4 18-volt Reciprocating saw,
This saw performs wonderfully. I found the handle (trigger) and, for lack of a better term, the forearm, to be comfortable and makes for good control during use. Not real impressed with the blade that came with the saw, but I think that’s to be expected.
I would recommend the saw for quality and the seller for price.
