I'm a concrete and masonry contractor and my guys use this tool for everything from cutting forms to cutting roots in their way. Exceptional performance, we usually use up two batteries in a day, but the fast charge can usually keep up. Almost indistructable, have seen it droped from over 8 ft. from scaffolding and just bounce. The keyless chuck is fantastic. I have had too many tools with keys or allen wrenches sit in the truck unused for the want of a key. Have had the tool for over two years and am still using the original batteries but, this morning the battery charger gave up the ghost. I guess thats what you get for leaving it out in the rain a half of douzen times, more or less. I do not buy cheap tools, I feel that my employees deserve the best to make them the best. If I only had enough money to buy one tool this would be it.

Just want to say that it's great Milwaukee offers the "tool only" so we don't have to keep purchasing batteries and chargers. I've purchased 2 milwaukee cordless tools with 2 batteries and a charger each, and then was able to purchase this saw and a work light without those items. So now I have a bettery for each tool and a backup charger, and they all fit in one case....beautiful!!!pP.S....I've had the 18 volt drill, circle saw, sawzall and light for well over a year now and use them heavily , no problems, excellent tools.

Unlike DeWalt, Milwaukee used the same design of their electric saw to build a cordless. The early model had less than spectacular quick-change clamp but that was remedied quite nicely.

As an electrician I've used many brands of reciprocating saws and can say in all honesty that the Milwaukee Sawzall beats them all, HANDS DOWN! This thing is one of the first tools I grab to head out to a job. You can cut a lot of conduit on a charge.

br / This is a great price for the "tool only" deal. I already had plenty of Milwaukee 18 volt batteries/chargers so this made it really affordable. Thanks Amazon!

This is a poorly built product I am on my third one and am still not happy

I bought this because I thought it was less expensive than other sites, only to get it and realize that it came with nothing else. My husband loves it.
