We all look at the reciprocating saw as the “king of demolition.” It is the tool you grab when you need to destroy a wall, cut out old plumbing, or tear apart a pallet. But what if I told you that with the right accessories, your “Sawzall” could actually be one of the most versatile tools in your entire arsenal?

Think Beyond the Blade Most of us have a drawer full of wood and metal blades, but the ecosystem for this tool has grown massively. I recently found some unique attachments that allow you to scrub, scrape, and even file, all using the power of the saw you already own.

These aren’t just novelty items; they are legitimate problem solvers that save your elbows from repetitive motion strain. Whether you are removing thinset, cleaning up rusted metal, or deburring pipe, there is likely an adapter that does the hard work for you.

The reciprocating saw usually sits in the case until it’s demo day. These accessories change that. Being able to turn a rough demolition tool into a precision scraper or a high-speed power brush adds incredible value to a tool that usually sees limited use.

Watch the Video I put together a video showcasing 5 specific attachments that I think every DIYer and Pro should know about. You have to see these in action to really appreciate how much time they can save you on your next project. (Especially the last one!)
