This is an incredible tool, I love it. Very powerful, very smooth. I thought about getting the 15amp, but it really could not be better for what I'm using it for. I don't think I would use the oscillating feature much anyway. So far I've used it almost exclusively to cut nails in between lumber, such as removing hardwood flooring without damaging it. You definitely want the 3/4" stroke model for this, or any fine, tight space work. The 1-1/8" stroke is probably better for fast cutting in a lot of wood, although this one will still go through a 4x6 in a matter of seconds. In a throw away consumer world, it's nice to find something that really is built like it used to be and will likely last you a lifetime.

This is easily one of the best built tools I have ever owned (and I'm no youngster). It is nicely balanced, solidly put together, runs smoothly, and works just as you would imagine that it should. Milwaukee did a nice job on this one. Made in USA (even though "of US and foreign components") means a lot to me, as well. I only wish I could find Milwaukee blades locally. I suppose that's one of the drawbacks of living in such a nice little town!

Plenty of power for the diy'er. I put it to work cutting thru 3"sub floor with nails and even the near wall plunge cuts went well.
With a sharp blade, and the fact that this saw is somewhat lighter than others I have used, crawlspace plumbing cuts thru 3/4" galvanized were easier as the saw was handier to manipulate.
A bargain at $100 or so.

This Milwaukee saw is one of those items whereby the manufacturer didn't cut corners to achieve a price point! After all, they invented the reciprocating saw many years ago called Sawzall" Not only is it well made, smooth running (Less vibration because of a built in counter weight)but the best feature in my opinion is the blade chuck. You can change blades, from taking out the existing blade and changing over to another blade in seconds! All it takes is a twist of the spring loaded blade chuck about a quarter turn, insert blade and let go, no tightening of any kind. Another nice item included is a non-metallic case which is good for anybody keeping their saw outside in a pick-up or in the basement where moisture exists and leads to rusting of the case. This particular saw has a 3/4 inch stroke which means it cuts fast!
I have an older Bosch which, when it was working (Down due to blade problems) wasn't anywhere as good as this Milwaukee saw and the blade holder required a allen wrench and most times the blade would fall out and recently the blade holder screw broke off in the clamp so it was time to retire that saw. You can't go wrong with the "Milwaukee" brand.

I bought this reciprocating saw after reading the comments of many landscapers. When asked what's the best way to cut tree roots, many named the Sawzall. When the tool arrived, my husband quickly got rid of some small trees that were hanging over our neighbor's fence, and which they'd asked us to get rid of. Then he cut up the relatively small trunks and branches with ease.
We both used it on tree roots, and it worked well, except on huge roots that we were unable to get through at all. We'll be using the Sawzall for pruning, and for getting rid of more roots, this fall and next Spring.
It's a fabulous tool, and we're still on the first pruning blade. The Sawzall would have saved us countless hours (and a lot of complaining about doing yard work) had we bought it years ago.

I'm a deck builder and carpenter. This sawzall is the newest version of the finest sawzall made. I've used every kind of sawzall over the last 20 years, and this is the toughest and best made of them all. My Milwaukee has been running for 15 years now and has stood up to tons of abuse. This is probably the best $100 you'll ever spend on a tool. It's use as a demo tool is unparralleled but not everyone knows that with the right blade (and skill) you can make incredibly precise cuts in almost any material.

This 12 amp sawzall is just what I was looking for. At just 7#, it's easy to handle and all the power I need. I used the 9" pruning blade to trim branches(2"-4"dia.),and although it's slower than a chain saw,it cut the branches without any problem. I know the saw will work well for any home project I'll have.

I got tired of trimming shrubs and trees with a chain saw and loppers. The saw was unwieldy in close quarters and the loppers were ineffective with large branches, but the Milwaukee Sawzall solved both problems once I learned how to use it. The darn thing can cut most anything with the right blade, it's easy to manipulate in close quarters and safe to use if common sense is employed by the operator.....I love It!!!!

I bought this for occasional light use around the house. Years ago I worked in electrical construction and used Milwaukee tools all the time. They were solid and always got the job done. I decided on this because of the company's reputation, its features, and the fact that it was made in the USA. It arrived in a nice plastic carrying case. Not too much room for extra blades, but I managed to fit a pack inside. The saw is really well made and seems powerful. The variable speed trigger is smooth and easily controlled, and the QUIK-LOK blade clamp works great and is a simple but brilliant idea. No more annoying allen screws to shake loose. I opted for the slightly less aggressive 3/4" stroke so I can use it as a large jig saw for finer work, since I'm not doing demolition (although it would definitely handle larger jobs okay, perhaps just not as quickly). I haven't had too many occasions to use it at this writing, but I have a bunch of plywood to cut up, and that's partially why I bought it. I am confident it will tackle that chore fine.

Perfect fit tool for the home owner who needs it for small to medium projects. I have used this to cut 2 and 3 inch metal pipes and I have used it used it to cut 6 inch pressure treated lumber. If like me you need it for a limited number of projects going with the corded vs the Battery powered version was a good tradeoff in cost and power. I don't need to worry about having the battery charged when I need to use the tool as sporadically as I do, just plus and go.
