The RS500K is not going to power through super tough jobs for hours on end, but if you just need a reciprocating saw for those one-off projects that happen to get added to your list every so often then RS500K is all you may need. Unlike the\u00a0professional\u00a0recip saws that sport 12A+ and heavy weights, the B&amp;D RS500K is light on the amps at 8.5A and the weight. Do not let this discourage you though. The RS500K should do the job perfectly for the majority of tasks thrown at it such as cutting drywall, small scale demolition, the wood deck board replacement cut, gutter or downspout cuts, or even for pruning trees. It is also a corded saw so you&#8217;ll never have to worry about replacing batteries or loss of power.\u00a0Here is a list of uses this saw is good for as shown on the Black &amp; Decker site:<\/p>\n<ul id=\"ctl00_ctl00_BodyContentPlaceHolder_BodyContentPlaceHolder_ctl03_usesLists\">\n<li>Wood and nail\u00a0embedded\u00a0wood<\/li>\n<li>Light to heavy gauge metals<\/li>\n<li>Copper, aluminum, brass, cast iron and steel<\/li>\n<li>Drywall and plaster<\/li>\n<li>Plastics, rubber composites and fiberglass<\/li>\n<li>Pruning<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you want <em>variable speed control<\/em>, then you will need to step up to the Black &amp; Decker RS600K.
