FYI: this is the 12v one...the dinky one. Not sure what a low powered hacksaw is useful for imo.

1/2" stroke is good for cutting down brush and for controlled cuts in sheet metal or pipe. I've done all these things. I've also seen that it's useful for cutting the adhesive that lines windshields. Some old school guys used to mod full-sized sawzalls to have a shorter stroke for this purpose, although there are better ways to do this if you care about your paint and not getting rust eventually.

I don't use this tool too often, but it's really good within its range. It is not a demo tool, somewhere in between a jigsaw and a hacksaw.

It's very good for smaller jobs. Having a good saw blade is key.
