I would say XR since this is regular and not fuel version of Milwaukee. That being said I tried Dewalt one for few hours and didn't like it because of the variable trigger, from one side it's good that you can adjust speed based on how much one grips the trigger but to me it's negative since it gets tiring trying to keep it steady when needed. I prefer switch with speed dial in the side so you can change your grip and not have to constantly hold the trigger to make it work.

I have Milwaukee and it's good but I saw XR and it has quick blade exchange and quick blade angle adjustment. I think the dewalt is better

Fuel version is better than regular version

You can lock the trigger on the DeWalt.

Yeah, they should all have a trigger lock.. what @Alex meant is that he didn't like how the depth of trigger varies the output of speed.

He is used to one that has a speed I'll that let's you adjust it so it provides the speed he wants, and no more or less.

I was the same way.

That's the only kind that existed when they first came out years alppgo.

And in certain applications, your right. Like if you are cutting drywall out and there's a hidden stud or screw, the tool jumps and makes you crank the trigger all the way.

When I tried it after my regular M18 one it felt like XR shake and vibrations were much higher so it just felt very uncomfortable after Milwaukee one. I'm planning to upgrade to M18 Fuel version soon so hopefully experience will be even better. As far as of quick changing option it usually applies to blades with opening on the end and I still have tons left that don't so don't consider it much of a benefit at least for now.

I have both the M12 pictured here (thanks to SD deals) and the Dewalt XR 20v.

The one pictured is the old tool version. You have to use the Allen wrench to open it and change out blades, etc. There is a new m12 model that is toolless to change...

The DeWalt tool change is rapid....but there are certain things like wall socket square and rectangle cutter that will not fit the DeWalt. Thus I need to use Milwaukee.

Can this be used to cut through a metal drywall bracket that's in my ceiling? I ran into this issue while installing the ceiling speakers.

Yes, assuming it's not some super thick hardened metal of some sort. Just make sure you use the right cutting blade.

Any particular brand/type of blade do you recommend for my usecase?

Carbide tipped for cutting any metal, but even then it won't last long. The biggest downfall of these is that the blades are expensive and wear out fast. They're kind of a specialty tool for when nothing else will do the job
