WORKPRO 710W Reciprocating Saw with Variable Speed, Tool-Free Blade Change (4 Blades, 20 mm Stroke)
Product description
The essentials
If you’re after a corded sabre saw that can handle practical cutting jobs around the house or on light DIY projects, this WORKPRO reciprocating saw is built around a simple idea: plenty of power, adjustable speed, and fast blade swaps so you’re not constantly stopping mid-job.
On paper it’s aimed at people who want one tool that can tackle common materials like wood, metal and PVC without getting too precious about technique. The 710W motor and variable speed up to 2,800 RPM are the headline figures, but what really matters for everyday use is the control you get when you’re trying to start a cut neatly or avoid bogging the blade.
It’s not trying to be a pro workshop machine, and that’s probably fine for most buyers—just keep expectations realistic if you’re doing continuous, heavy-duty cutting day after day.

What stands out in real use
The most noticeable feature is the tool-free blade change. When you’re switching between a wood and a metal blade, being able to swap quickly (instead of hunting for a tool) helps keep momentum.
You also get variable speed that you can build up gradually. There’s an on/off switch that allows you to ramp up speed, and a lock-on button so you don’t have to hold the trigger for every second of the job. That’s a small comfort detail, but it adds up during longer cuts.
The adjustable front shoe is another practical touch. It lets you alter position for different scenarios, which can help when you’re cutting in awkward spots or trying to keep the cut steadier.
Finally, the soft, non-slip rubber-coated handle is there for grip and day-to-day comfort, with the design aiming to reduce vibration and hand fatigue.
Where it shines (and where it might not)
It makes sense if your projects are the kind where you’ll be cutting a bit of wood, then maybe trimming something metal or PVC, and you want a corded tool that’s ready to go.
It suits you if you like the idea of speed control for accuracy and you don’t want to be changing blades with tools. A typical example: you’re removing a section of timber for a DIY alteration, you start at lower speed to establish the cut line, then ramp up as the blade bites, once the timber section is done, you swap to the metal blade to tidy up a fitting.
Worth bearing in mind: the metal cutting depth is listed as 4 mm. That means if you’re planning to slice through thicker metal regularly, this may feel limiting compared with approaches designed for heavier metal work.
Getting the most from it
A reciprocating saw rewards preparation more than people expect. Before you start, check that the correct blade is fitted for the material—wood blades (8 TPI) and metal blades (24 TPI) are included, so you’re not starting from scratch.
Also, take a minute to set up the front shoe position. That small adjustment can influence how stable the tool feels as you begin the stroke. If you’re cutting something that needs a cleaner start, use the variable speed to ramp up gradually rather than charging straight in.
Who it’s for
This is a sensible choice for DIYers and home users who want a corded sabre saw with variable speed, a listed cutting capacity for wood and metal, and a quick swap blade system.
It’s also a good match if you prefer straightforward operation—trigger control with a lock-on option, plus a soft-grip handle designed to help during longer sessions.
When it makes sense
This WORKPRO reciprocating saw is worth considering if you want a practical, corded sabre saw for mixed material cutting tasks, especially around wood and smaller metal jobs. The variable speed up to 2,800 RPM, 20 mm stroke length, and tool-free blade change point to a tool designed for getting on with the job.
You may want to skip it if your main goal is heavy, thick metal cutting or if you’re looking for something explicitly built for continuous professional-level use. In those cases, the listed metal cutting depth and overall “light DIY” direction may not be the fit.
Mini FAQ
Is this a good saw for wood and metal?
It’s designed for both: wood cutting depth is listed up to 115 mm, and metal up to 4 mm. For thicker metal, you may find it restrictive.
Can you change blades without tools?
Yes—tool-free blade change is part of the design, and the box includes both wood and metal blades.
Does it have variable speed?
Yes, it offers variable speed up to 2,800 RPM, and you can ramp up gradually rather than starting at full speed.
Does it include blades in the box?
Yes. You get two wood saw blades (8 TPI) and two metal saw blades (24 TPI), plus a hex key.
Will I need to keep holding the trigger?
No. There’s a lock-on button mentioned to lock the switch, so you don’t have to hold the trigger continuously during longer cuts.
