A true brute of a saw

,
March 21, 2011
By Presto
from Montreal, Quebec
"I am very tough on my tools. Three previously used brands did not keep up but this one does. I have been relying on it for two years now and will never buy another kind...if this one ever dies. My last project was a 30 foor steel balconey with staircase and all the pieces were cut with this saw. No problem. Awesome tool."

Milwaukee Sawzall

,
March 23, 2009
By MontanaHandyMan
from Great Falls, MT
"I bought this saw to help with our kitchen and bathroom remodel. It performed flawlessly. I don't know how we would have accomplished this remodel without it. There are some things you just can't do efficiently with any other type saw. This one never lacked power and was always up to the task."

Great tool

By plumbersgirl
from New Jersey
"My Dad has had this tool for 40 years. He passed away recently and I got the saw. Dad was a plumber and used his sawzall on the job constanly. It has been used to remodel 4 homes and it's still going strong. We've used it on metal, wood, and plastic. They don't make a better all- around reciprocating saw then this one. I highly recommend it."

"Here is a product that will take a punishment and stay working forever. The blades are easy to change and it has power to cut through just about anything. I've even cut through old pipes, getting the saw wet and yet it still goes on working."

Very well built

,
November 18, 2008
By woodchips
from Vermont, USA
"I bought this to replace an older Makita saw that I burned out. There is simply no comparison. Granted, the Makita was not their top of the line model, but this thing is built like a tank. The rotating handle is one of those features that I didn't think would be very useful, but it really is nice to have."

".....i have been racing stock cars for almost 20 years and in this business you learn real quick what tools are needed most.i purchased a milwaukee sawzall about 15 years ago and have used this thing to build countless new race cars including roll cages and main frames.we also use this at the track to cut away crash damage so you can Imagen how much abuse i have put this saw through.to this day it still runs perfect with zero maintenance other than changing the blades.i have also used this saw for my AC company to cut things ranging from dry wall to 3/4 iron.if you want a saw you will only have to buy one time this is the one. thanks northern tools and milwaukee for an affordable and durable tool. you cant kill this saw if you try"

Indispensible tool

By SLOhistory
from California
"This is my fourth edition of Sawzall, I use it in my business as a consultant on restoring historic structure. It is idealfor taking sample of wood for dating, dry rot or insect infestation purposes. I can take almost microthin slices from remote areas. O other saw or knife can suffice."

Great Saw

By towler

"I recently purchased this saw and love it. The rotating handle is really helpful. I used it to cut holes for retro electrical boxes and worked great. Speed adjustment works well too, so if you don't need all the power, you can dial it down."

Kitchen rehab

October 30, 2007
By northernnecker
from Richmond, VA
"The Sawzall is one of the most versital power tools you can have. From demo to finish work it is there. With the great assortment of blades it will handle never ending task.
I had a plumber come in for some drain & water line work where he needed to do some demo under the kitchen sink. I don't know of another tool that would have done the job. When that job was over I purchased my own Sawzall and have used it in many projects. A great power tool for anyone.

"I have used this product for many years on construction jobs and find it to be one of the most useful tools I have ever worked with. So much so I bought one of my own and have it in my shop, have used it to help build many things and has been real handy in remolding my house. I would strongly suggest if you do not own one you should purchase one and you will find that this saw has many projects that it can help you with."
