A lot of commercial builders keep one or two of these saws on the job. They don't use them all the time, but when they need to cut something quickly in an area without a power source, they use them instead of stringing out extension cords. This helps them to get jobs done quicker and easier.
Saber saws or reciprocating saws are made for cutting through walls, floors, and ceilings. They usually have blades that are from eight to ten inches long and resemble a keyhole saw. They can be used to cut metal pipes as well as flat sheets of metal and wood and have blades for either purpose.
