Rank #4 in Best Reciprocating Saw 2026: 10 Ranked, and Why the Spec Table Lies
XIAZIR Cordless Saw, 2× 21V 4.0Ah Batteries, 8 Blades
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The XIAZIR Upgraded Cordless Electric Reciprocating Saw sits fourth in this guide at £64.59, with 4.3 out of 5 from 1,690 ratings. It is a battery-powered saw sold with two packs and an eight-piece blade set, and it is aimed at garden work — branches, tree limbs and roots — as much as at interior jobs.
The listing disagrees with itself on the component you would most want to be sure about. The bullet points and the included-components field both describe two 21V 4000mAh lithium batteries, one charging in about 1.5 hours while the other runs the saw. The spec table in the same listing reads '2 C batteries required. (included)' — C cells, a different size and a different chemistry from the packs described above it. The motor speed of 3,500 SPM appears in the product title rather than in the spec table. Everything on this page comes from the Amazon listing as it was supplied to us, not from a saw we have run ourselves.
How those 1,690 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.3 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I didn't really think this trimmer was as good as the reviews claimed, but it is!.It cuts tough branches with ease. I would add the caveat that to cut 35mm does take two or three goes, but it will cope. As far as safety is concerned, I would say that you treat it with respect as you would any sharp tool. The locking facility is clever (the long press and beep) and should be used at all times. In terms of time saving, it certainly beats a hand tool , let alone the lack of strain on hand and wrist .Battery life is impressive. It is lighter than I expected . It can be used over a prolonged period without fatigue.I have no hesitation in recommending this tool.”
Verified purchase“Finally got to use it. Used to dismantle pallets, cut through the nails so left with good lengths not split lengths. Nails knocked out after easy. Only used the metal blades so far. Dismantled 30 pallets. Very pleased so far...”
