+1 for the recip. Even with cheap blades, use them, abuse them and toss them, good for so much backyard and landscaping stuff, can cut rolls of turf, can chew through roots above and below ground, tree branches up to about 25 cms I have found it to be good for. I found this one to be a nice balance between power and being compact enough to use with one hand if you are in a pinch or at an awkward angle. https://www.amazon.com.au/Makita-DJR188Z-Reciprocating-Saw-Blue/dp/B079GXWJV2
