Excellent service! And an excellent machine! Helped me out at short notice. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again. Highly recommend!
Delivered on time, machines feel brand new, very polite staff, easy to book, will now be using this company for all my digger hires, honest review from a general builder who has had plenty of digger hires from other companies that aren’t as good as Breckland plant and tool hire
Great service from Start to finish would definitely recommend and use again
Reciprocating saw for hire — powerful, versatile demolition cutting
Our reciprocating saw is a no-nonsense, heavy-duty handheld cutter built for chopping through timber, metal, plastic and composite materials on site. Ideal for demolition, flush cutting in tight spots and work where controlled brute force beats finesse — available now from our Attleborough depot with delivery across Norfolk and Suffolk within 20 miles or free collection.
What the machine is and what it suits
A reciprocating saw is a robust, hand-held power saw where the blade moves back and forth in a reciprocating motion. It’s the go-to tool for tradespeople and groundworkers needing quick, aggressive cuts: removing timber studwork, cutting steel pipes and conduit, trimming branches or cutting out damaged sections of decking. If you need to cut where an angle grinder or circular saw won’t reach, the reciprocating saw excels.
Key specs and features
- Variable-speed motor for controlled, precise cutting and fast material removal when needed.
- Quick-change blade clamp compatible with a wide range of demolition and bi-metal blades.
- Compact, ergonomic body with anti-vibration features to reduce operator fatigue.
- Adjustable shoe for improved blade life and consistent cuts.
- Suitable for use with wood, plastic, PVC, plasterboard, soft metal and small-diameter steel.
Why hire this tool rather than buy
Most site jobs only need a reciprocating saw for short, punchy bursts. Hiring from Breckland Plant Hire saves you the capital outlay, maintenance and storage hassle — and you get a fully serviced, ready-to-run machine every time. If you only use it occasionally for demolition, trimming or clearance work, hiring is markedly cheaper than buying. We also offer trade account discounts and convenient delivery within 20 miles of Attleborough and Wymondham.
Operator and safety notes
- Always wear appropriate PPE: eye protection, gloves, hearing protection and sturdy footwear.
- Choose the correct blade for the material and check it is secure before use.
- Keep both hands on the tool and maintain a stable stance — secure the workpiece where possible.
- Disconnect power or remove the battery before changing blades or performing maintenance.
- Beware of hidden services in walls or floors; use detection equipment where necessary.
Need the right blade or an alternative cutting tool? We often hire a wide range of blades and complementary kit — check our reciprocating saw for more details and related hire options. If your job calls for a different saw, ask us about suitable alternatives when you book the tool.
