M18 FUEL 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless HACKZALL Reciprocating Saw W/ Free M18 5.0 Ah Battery ($159.00)

Very good deal on the Milwaukee M18 Fuel Hackzall (2719-20). This tool is regularly priced @ $159 so you’re essentially getting the battery for free (which is a $70 value). I believe this is a web only price so you won’t be able to do the "turn in" trick at a HD B&M store to get the tool cheaper.

Can also get this same deal @ Acme Tools:

If you want it cheaper and don’t want the battery you can save some money by getting it at Amazon (though Amazon is not an authorized dealer so you won’t get a 5 year warranty, you’ll only get a 3 year warranty):
