Fun with a SawZall!

Anyone here find it fascinating to use a SawZall on everything? Like has anyone ever cut an entire car in half with a SawZall?

I think I remember seeing an ad where they used 2 batteries and a SawZall, and cut an entire car in half...

Some of the things I've cut with a SawZall...

My stacks, water/sewage pipes, wire, cabinets, floors, walls, my fingers (joking), trimmed trees, cut lumber... etc...

They saw everything or SawZall...

YES! I bought a DeWalt cordless drill/sawzall combo for $200 on Ebay. Best tool purchase I've made. There was a place called Blume supply in Charlotte and last year during speed week they had Lenox blades come in and customers guessed how long it would take the Lenox team to cut a car in half.

I work in Pipeline/ general construction/ remodeling and I use it for everything. Used it Friday on a deadbolt lock the wouldnt fit in the door.

I use the craftsmen reciprocating saws at work and I cut cars in half all the time! If it shakes you to death then you dont know what your doing with it. Its a great tool if you know how to use it. I prefer the craftsmen over my milwaukee.
The trick is to use cutting oil or just plain motor oil when cutting metals. Specially on aluminum so the soft metal doesnt clog up the teeth. Soap will help too.

Cool. Yeah, I got a DeWalt 18V XRP sawzall. That thing is so cool. I've always had a Ryobi corded one... but the DeWalt is sick.

Yeah, I think I saw that one... that's probably what I'm thinking of.

It'd be funny as heck to go out to someone's car and chop it in half.. they'd come out, and be like ---> ????????? <-----

Especially if it was done to where it actually, and truly cut the car perfectly right in half.

But that's just wrong...
