What happens here

The final tool tested is the Kobalt XTR Reciprocating Saw. Franky demonstrates its versatility by cutting through different materials. He first uses it to cut a piece of wood, showcasing the orbital action feature, which provides a faster but rougher cut. He then switches to a straight-cut mode to demonstrate a cleaner cut on a thinner piece of wood. Finally, he tests the saw on a metal pipe, quickly cutting through it. The quick blade change mechanism is also highlighted. He explains that orbital action is faster on some materials but may leave a rougher edge.

Goal: Demonstrate the cutting capabilities and features of the Kobalt XTR Reciprocating Saw.

straight cut it feels rougher right it's a wider yeah and it you feel like it jumped around a little bit more okay Bruce to play that and then that just changes out like how most of them you know yep twist well that's it right through there yeah so the orbital is faster on some materials it'll leave a rougher yeah not all materials [Music] what you think Frankie I like I did the first short period of time but the
