Need to cut through pipes, studs, nails, or make rough demolition cuts?
A reciprocating saw (or sabre saw) is the demolition king — it cuts through wood with nails, metal pipes, plasterboard, and branches. Its aggressive back-and-forth blade action makes it perfect for rough cuts in tight spaces where other saws can’t reach.
With Poppins, cut like a pro. Our app connects you with neighbors and local shops who have a reciprocating saw available right now. You might find one on your street — ready to pick up today.

Is it worth buying a reciprocating saw?

On the Poppins app, you will find reciprocating saws for every job.To prune branches or cut up pallets, a cordless saw offered by a neighbor is perfect.To cut cast iron pipes, steel, or demolish a brick partition, choose a powerful corded model (1000W+) available from our pro partners.Important: Check the type of blade provided (Wood, Metal, or Universal) before renting!
Which saw should I choose?
On the Poppins app, the choice depends on your material:
- Cordless Reciprocating Saw: Ideal for gardening (pruning) or places without power. Maneuverable but limited battery life.
- Corded Reciprocating Saw (Heavy Duty): The workhorse. For cutting metal studs, old windows, or pipes. Never stops.
