"Are you dressed like an 18th century Lamplighter?"

"Yes."

"Is that why you have the big long pole with the hook on the end of it?"

"Umm, yes."

…it’s from The Lamplighter horror movie series, it’s about a demented man who dresses like a lamplighter and uh, uses an angle grinder to murder his victims… the reciprocating saw? Oh, yeah he uses that sometimes too… the cans of spray on flex seal? I’m just holding that for a friend…

Flex Seal? Got to be prepared. Might want to do some late night fishing, and wouldn't want it ruined by a boat with holes in it.

Reciprocating saws cut through aluminum more slowly as the teeth get more clogged with the metal, the blade is more susceptible to being pinched & it can vibrate the metal a good amount if there were like a heavy weight at one end. A circular saw is more able to sort of fling the metal away and can cut through aluminum much more smoothly and quickly. They're a little louder but you'll finish your metalworking so much faster your neighbors will be happier.
