I just bought a cheapy 19.2 volt recip saw for outdoor fun.
I already had 3 batteries for the other stuff in the Craftsman line.
$50 for the saw, yeah it's a cheapy so I bought the $7 replacement 2 year replacement warranty.
With three batteries I can do quite a bit of cutting with. I've got two chargers too. When at home or the lake I can charge too and cut with the other if they aren't too hot to charge.

The trick Garry Jacobs did when he cut of Classic quarters for me was to rent a generator at an equpment place for the day and use his GOOD sawzall. IIRC it takes about 5 hours to hack off two 4 door quarters this way :]
