This full size Milwaukee M18 SAWZALL is built for heavy demolition and pro level cutting, especially if you already own M18 batteries. The brushed motor version is the main limitation here, since the Fuel brushless model is viewed as the better buy and newer Super SAWZALL features more power, orbital action, adjustable speeds, and a longer stroke. The included 5.0Ah batteries also draw criticism, with battery reliability concerns raised in the thread. For most lighter jobs, a Hackzall or compact saw is the more practical fit.

  • The kit uses a brushed motor version, which can be a simpler option if brushless performance is not required for the intended cuts.

    BobB7529

  • The saw can still be useful for demolition or pro-style reciprocating work when paired with the right blade for the job.

    iIIuminati

  • A one-handed M18 Hackzall-style alternative may cover many non-professional needs without requiring the full-size SAWZALL form factor.

    MellowMaid6242

  • The Super SAWZALL upgrade path adds brushless features like orbital action and adjustable speeds that may better match corded performance for demanding tasks.

    WiseGiraffe157

  • This deal is for the brushed motor with older 5.0Ah batteries, which can feel like poor value compared with recent Fuel bundles.

    Fry-man22

  • The brushed kit is not the brushless Fuel version, so buyers expecting Fuel performance may be disappointed by the motor type.

    BobB7529

  • Multiple M18 battery packs reportedly fail to charge, showing rapid red blinking in the charger even after light use.

    TheOldDude

  • Several smaller M18 batteries reportedly become dead and will not charge after very limited total charging and use.

Skil compact would fit you better, unless you already have Milwaukee batteries https://www.skil.com/products/pwr...1179493461

this is for the brushed motor, NOT brushless, which would be the 'Fuel' version.

This is terrible IMO. This is brushed with the old 5.0 batteries, recently the Fuel version with two 6.0 Forge batteries was $250.

Do you have the battery fully seated in the charger?

If you're not in the professional business you don't need this. This is mainly for demolition. Also this model is dated. I have the one hand fuel m18 and that work for every occasion, it's not as strong as these but I'm not in that profession. Also blade is very important for any job. Don't cheap out on the right blade.

No, you won't care how heavy it is. With that said, I'd recommend you wait and get the super sawzall when it's on sale. Brushless motor, a little longer stroke, orbital action when you need it, adjustable speeds, and engineered to match the 15 amp corded model. It's heavier than this model and I never notice the weight when I use it. I think it was on sale awhile ago for $230 or so with an 8.0 forge battery. Better tools are always better to own, imo.

These are very useful but I would go with a one handed model (hackzall) unless you know you specifically need this.

Thanks but I'm past the basic diagnostics. 3-4 of my smaller M18 batteries are dead and will not charge (slow blinking red then fast blinking red). They have been charged less than 5 times total.
