Should I buy a corded or cordless reciprocating saw?

Across the reviewers we read, cordless brushless models like DeWalt's 20V MAX line dominate for portability and one-handed maneuverability, while corded saws like the DeWalt DWE305 and SKIL SPT44A are favored for sustained heavy demolition where you don't want to manage battery runtime. If you already own a battery platform, a bare-tool cordless saw is usually the better value; for occasional but power-hungry jobs, corded reviewers say you get more cutting muscle per dollar.
