This is a nice compact reciprocating saw at the lowest price it's ever been at Amazon, according to the Camel.
Bought it last year and it worked well for trimming trees using a pruning blade. It's light enough you can hold it one handed if you have decent strength, but not for too long. Was handy to occasionally use one handed over my head to get branches up high. Otherwise requires two hands for extended use.
Has longer stroke length with nearly full power like the full size recip saws, but smaller size and lighter weight. Only problem is it has some vibration, as most smaller recip saws do, because to save weight, they lack the vibration dampening system. But that's the trade off for to get a nearly full-powered yet compact, lighter-weight saw.

I have the M18 HackZall and the XR Compact in this deal. For small stuff I grab the M18 almost all the time, the vibration in the XR Compact is horrendous… I used to cut with my full size Ridgid Gen5X recip one handed all the time, even with all that weight hanging out in front, it was easier on the wrist/forearm than the XR Compact.
It's a shame honestly… the multi position head on the XR Compact is sooooooo useful.
