A Sawsall is not nearly as controllable as a saber saw.  I use both often, but I find the reciprocating saw (such as Sawsall brand) is best for heavy, rough jobs.  If I want to hack off a pipe, cut a hole in a wall, or cut the nails holding a stud in place, the reciprocating saw is great.  For control, use a saber saw.

  sawsall, but want to be sure, for this is one item i do not need to screw up
  on!!!!
