Is the Hotree saw good for cutting tree branches?

Yes for small to medium branches. It is light and easy to handle in the garden, but thick limbs will cut slowly.

It can cut thin metal sheet, conduit and bolts with the right blade. Use low speed and expect slower going than on wood.

What comes in the box?

The saw, two 21V 2.0Ah batteries and a charger. Blades are typically a separate purchase, so check before you buy.

Does it use standard reciprocating saw blades?

It takes standard reciprocating saw blades through its quick-change chuck, so common wood and metal blades fit.

How does it compare with a brand-name 18V saw?

It is lighter duty. A major-brand saw cuts faster and has a bigger battery and blade ecosystem, while this one covers occasional home jobs.

Our take on the Hotree Cordless Reciprocating Saw with 2 x 2.0Ah Batteries

The Hotree is a 21V cordless reciprocating saw sold with two 2.0Ah lithium batteries, so one can charge while the other runs. It has a variable-speed trigger, a safety lock and a tool-free quick-change blade system, and it is aimed at light cutting of wood, metal and PVC. It is a compact, low-cost way into a cordless saw for home and garden jobs, but it is a light-duty tool: expect slower cuts in thick hardwood or steel than a branded 18V saw, and the 3.7-star rating from 27 buyers suggests mixed satisfaction.
