The Milwaukee had a thin flimsy plastic lever adjusting the in-out movement of the shoe. I thought this was such weak design that I just was not going to buy the Milwaukee, no matter what else was right or wrong with the tool. The Hilti was 13 amp, but a very well made tool with one big problem. The Hilti has no speed limiting dial, all speed control is done with the 4 finger trigger. I did not buy Hilti, since I thought a speed control dial a "must have" feature. The Makita got passed up by reputation, there are too many stories out there about quality control issues with the blade change and shoe breaking under hard use. The Bosch RS35 is big and heavy, feels like more than the published weight. But under use the weight seems to steady things, and the anti-vibration system works well. There is so much power that I do not use high speed when cutting very often. The tool can get rather hot under hard use. A detail Bosch did not get right is the "robust demolition foot" with "cam lock" lever system, it is no more "robust" than the shoe on any other saw, and the "cam lock" is slow and secures tight only when the shoe is all the way in. Another detail wrong is a too thin plastic boot on the cord as it exits the saw handle. Details Bosch got right are decent rubber on the nose of the tool, good view of the blade as it cuts, orbital and speed controls in good positions, and good speed control with a two finger trigger.12 of 12 people found the following review helpful.Huge, Heavy, Powerful. Serious cutting featuresBy Hydrangia AvidoseI got this reciprocating saw because I needed an alternative to my plasma cutter for cutting jobs on non-ferrous metals and for remote work.Generally speaking, there's not much to a reciprocating saw, a device that has been in production for more than 50 years. Even cheap ones will work well, because it's hard to get a design from the 1950's wrong, and it's really the blade that does most of the work.Anyways, I chose the Bosch RS35 over the Dewalt and Hitachi equivalents for various reasons.Other saws had a "quick-release" foot. I like the cam-lock of the Bosch, which keeps the foot stiff as opposed to the jiggly quick-release versions. Also, no accidental movement of the foot is possible. The Bosch has a thick driveshaft that exposes the blade-clamp even at the fully retracted position. This means that you can load/unload the blade at any time in the saw's stroke. This in comparison to other saws where the blade-clamp is hidden at certain points in the stroke.Most reciprocating saws nowadays have tool-less blade changes. I like the Bosch's tool-less blade change feature, which is a "click in to lock", "twist to remove" version. It requires very little effort to engage and will never disengage on accident as it uses a very beefy spring-loaded cam to lock the blade in place. Even if the spring were to fail, there's no way the cam could unlock by itself.This tool is 10 lbs heavy and uses a counterweight drive. There's virtually 0 vibration in use. Very easy on the forearms. Although it's not clear from the photos, the majority of this tool is metal, and covers the metal parts with a jacket of plastic and rubber. Little touches like the swivel power cord and rubberized front/rear grips aren't noticed until you realize they're making your life easier.I don't use the orbital mode, since I cut metal, but it is there if you need it.Just recently, I had to use the RS35 to quickly chop apart the exhaust of my car in 10 degree weather, in the snow. Within minutes, I had cut the steel exhaust into 5 small pieces from odd angles. No slowdown at all from the tool even when forcing the blade. The RS35 is a heavy, powerful beast and is certainly not for everyone, but I love it.6 of 6 people found the following review helpful.Best Recip Saw I've UsedBy Andrew J. OlsonAlthough a little big to get your hands around, the RS-35 has the power to plow through anything as well as effective anti-vibration. Ive cut copper, black iron, ABS, lumber, and fiberglass with this and nothing has even slowed it down. The removable foot plate and variable power control have both come in handy. I wish it had a joist hanger like its little cousin and that it wasn't so loud in the high fequencies, but for the money (it's cheaper than Milwaukee's super sawzall) this is THE reciprocating saw to getSee all 9 customer reviews...Bosch RS35 15 Amp Demolition Reciprocating Saw
