i have been using cheap gmc reciprocating saws for the last 5 years..ive gone thru some too,but they became a pain because i either had to bring the car to power or power to the car..which with 150 cars in the yard you could gaurentee you had to move some to get the one you wanted..i just recently purchased a brand name chordless which has the same warranty as cheap saws..12 months.. but a 10 year gaurentee it can be fixed warranty..$900 but the torque difference is awsome..
