18V lithium battery, charger in a carry case is worth the $60, and they throw in a saw for free! Wow
for years my mountain bike has had a lock on it with missing keys.
I have though about using a hack saw, but knew it would be a futile effort.
Well I came across a great deal on a 18 volt lithium battery cordless reciprocal saw for less than $60 delivered.
So I attempted to cut the "U" shaped bar, after 5 mins and only a scratch, then I attacked the lock assembly. Less than 5 mins and it was freed. Not too impressed with how easy it was cut open, but I didn't complain while I did it.
The saw was not in stock, but I clicked on "email me when back in stock" and a week later it was there. I didn't hesitate and ordered it. I see it is back out of stock, so it is a fast mover. It is a reconditioned unit, the new one would be way over twice the price after you purchase the battery and charger (comes separately)

GREAT TOOL FOR THE PRICE AND JOBS AROUND THE HOUSE
I Have purchased the Skil 4 tool set, it came with this, Cordless drill, Circular saw and flash light. It also came with 2 batteries ( which tell you how much battery life is left with a push of a button) the quick charger and a SKIL bag that you can carry them all in. ( the bag is nothing special, wish it was a little thicker/stronger. and maybe spacers as well so the tools do bang each other while you carry it) But the bag is just a plus, so won't hurt my review on the tools itself. I have used the SKIL 9350 about 15 times thus far and it has worked great. It has 2 settings, normal and turbo. very easy to use. I have only used the wood blade so far. Which i need to buy a new one. The blade that came with it, wasn't the greatest. But it got my jobs done. So far I have no complaints, and would recommend this to the "Do It Yourself" type of home owner. Out of the 4 tools that came in the kit, I have used this the most surprisingly. I will add to my review once I try it on Metal. So for someone who has A 3 year old. This has been perfect for me. Blades attach and come off easy. You also need to hold a safety button to use it so its pretty much child safe.

Product is well built and designed
Well designed and substantial product. How the saw blade is fitted into the saw either up or down with the blades allowing easier cutting ability.

easy to use and adequate features for home uses
The rechargeable batteries do not hold the charg. Skill asks to send it back to the factory, but it is very trouble to do so, I hope to be able to bring it to a local distribution dealer instead, but no available.
So I would not recommend anyone who has issues of sending their parts back to receive warranty to buy Skill products.

cordless is more
It's really nice not to have to worry about another cord getting in the way. Tool is powerful and easy to use. Controls well while cutting.
