Fanttik’s new R11 Pro is a mini reciprocating saw that runs on a built-in battery, charges via USB-C, and fits in a jacket pocket. It’s on Amazon right now for $80, no battery platform required.

How It Compares to a Hackzall
The Milwaukee M12 FUEL Hackzall runs around $149 bare, takes full-size bi-metal blades, and rips through 2-inch pipe in seconds. The R11 Pro is not competing with that tool.
What it offers is a tool that fits in your bag next to a multi-tool. The T-shank jigsaw blade compatibility is more versatile than it sounds. Wood, plastic, aluminum extrusions, and light-gauge sheet metal cuts are all within range. At 160W with a built-in cell, you’re not ripping through green lumber, but for trimming pipe insulation, notching in a tight spot, or cleanup cuts on a renovation project, the size works in its favor.
Blade Compatibility
Standard T-shank jigsaw blades are widely available and inexpensive. The five blades included cover the basics: HCS blades for wood, BIM blades for metal, and varying tooth counts (6, 12, and 24 TPI) for coarse through fine cutting. You can pick up replacement packs on Amazon for a few dollars, which means you’re not locked into proprietary consumables.
Charging and Runtime
USB-C charging matters more than it sounds. You can top off the R11 Pro from a power bank, a car charger, or the same brick you use for your phone. No proprietary charger sitting in a drawer, no dead battery when you finally need it six months later. The 14.8Wh built-in cell provides enough runtime for most occasional-use jobs before you need to plug back in.
Who It’s For
This is an “occasionally I need a saw” tool, not a daily-use power tool. Contractors already running M12 or M18 don’t need it. For a homeowner who wants a compact cutter for light trim work, pruning, or plumbing rough-in without buying into a full battery platform, $80 with no ongoing commitment is a reasonable call.
Fanttik has a solid lineup of compact Amazon-native tools. Their precision electric screwdrivers and tire inflators show up on our recommendation lists regularly.
The R11 Pro fits the same profile: purpose-built, compact, USB-C, and priced for buyers who aren’t locked into a platform yet.
If you want more versatility in tight spaces, an oscillating multi-tool handles a wider range of cuts and materials with more control. For a broader look at compact specialty cordless tools, our cordless rotary tool guide covers the precision-cutting end of the spectrum.
At $80 with no platform commitment and USB-C charging, the R11 Pro is one of the better entry points into cordless cutting for occasional users who already carry a power bank.
Where to Buy
Buy the Fanttik R11 Pro on Amazon (around $80 at time of writing, includes five blades).
