I am so glad I bought this reciprocating saw, especially after reading favorable reviews of the 15 amp version in a recent “Popular Mechanics.” It slices materials (drywall, plaster, wood, meat, watermelon) like a hot knife through butter. I’m just looking for an excuse to saw apart something else. I need a bigger brownstone than my 3,000-square-foot pad in the brekkingist city in da worl.

I borrowed this from a friend of mine to take some old cast iron plumbing out of my crawlspace. All kinds of folks tried to talk me into using something else to cut the cast iron drain pipes (2″+ thick).
I bought the Diamond grit black blade for this, and it -D-E-S-T-R-O-Y-E-D- those pipes. In a good way. Sliced through it in maybe 3 minutes (i had read some people say a sawzall would take me an hour to do each cut). Cut through some 1-1/2 in copper pipe as well. Super clean cut.
I will be purchasing this soon, and all i can say is nothing in my house is safe, haha

A bought my first Milwaukee Sawzall around 1980. I think they were around 5 amps then. (I still have it kept in reserve.) I then moved up to a Super Sawzall around 1989 and rarely used my old one because the `Super’ version was so much better (Although it was bigger and heavier). It ran flawlessly with exception of brush and cord replacements for many years. It went down around a year and a half ago at which time I bought the latest incarnation of the Super version.
I was a little put off by a few of the reviews I saw saying they are now made in Taiwan and are plastic and cheaper. But I bought it anyway. Over the years I had tried a few other brands that were out on jobs and they were all ‘junk’ compared to the Milwaukees.
After using this latest 15 amp version of the Milwaukee Sawzall I am impressed with the extreme power, smoothness (low vibration), speed, and lighter weight. A superior experience from a superior line of industrial grade portable power tools.
This has been the best Sawzall yet.

I had no reservations purchasing this saw and was extremely happy with the results. I’ve used this saw at work so I knew going in what to expect. I wanted the most amp for the buck and was not disappointed at all. I bought an exterior door for my house for $100(cheap I know, it was a returned item) but I had to enlarge my rough openning. Something I was hesitant about tackling. This saw made short work of it and it couldnt have turned out better. I saved enough on the door to more than cover the cost of the saw and now I have an excellent saw for the next decade of work. This saw is very balanced but with awsome power to cut through studs, nails, metal or anything in your way. So happy with this saw and Amazon. Highly Highly recommend. Oh and I have all of my fingers, something my wife said wouldnt happen, not even any blood letting. (Most of my projects involve some type of DNA marking)

Bought this saw, and was impressed… then, after about 27 days and about an hour of use, the motor burned up… Used amazon’s return system, and sent a replacement 2-day fed-ex. I was very impressed with the way amazon took care of the issue. Still haven’t put more than an hour of use on the saw, but seems to be good.
