Fantastic tool [Posted on 2008-02-05]
Quailty is here. Controlable power. Long stroke. No tools to change blade. Tons of power. I think you could cut a small house into car door size chunks in an afternoon with this an a dozen of the long "Ax" blades.
Accept no substitues. Get this one.
Not What Expected [Posted on 2008-03-17]
To start I have no bias in this review whatsoever, I am in construction and I run a crew of guys who work for me daily. My interest is in finding the best and most reliable tool. I keep multiples of most types of tools on hand and they are all used regularly. I usually buy the "best" of what is out there because the cost of downtime and replacement is not worth the time/cost to me.
I bought this tool from Amazon a few weeks before this review date. At the same time I bought a Makita 15 AMP and Hitachi 13 AMP. The other 2 saws are still working the SawZall is not. I was initially put off by the fact that the Makita was made in China, but it cuts very well and is very heavy duty. The only thing that is weird with the Makita is the mechanism that holds the blade is a bit flakey - but works - you just have to jiggle it sometimes to get the blade in. Also the rubber boot that covers the blade hold mechanism disitegrated quickly and is totally off. The Hitachi is holding up well but has not been used as much as the others to this point, but so far so good.
The Sawzall no longer works. The blade reciprocates in the air but when you try to cut something the blade stops despite the motor running and does not cut anything. The Sawzall it turns out is also made in China, but assembled in the USA. I have an old 11 AMP Sawzall - all metal that has lasted well over 20 years so far - this new unit is not that - nor that quality. The cutting seemed fine when it did work briefly (I am writing this about 40 days after we received the saw - it was used maybe 5 times). Also the blade holding mechanism is better than the Makita.
I called Amazon to exchange the unit they would not saying it was after 30 days. Fact is that Amazon does not support tool sales well, while we get better service from tool companies. So far I would recommend either the Makita or Hitachi - maybe even this unit (we might have gotten a lemon) but I would not order tools form Amazon in the future. Also looks like the price dropped about $20 on the tool from when I ordered it.

This saw maybe to big for some. I purchased it for heavy work, so far it is doing the job.
Super Sawzall says it all [Posted on 2008-04-24]
Powerful, easy to handle for a tool of this size and power, does what it is designed to do. I like the rotating handle--makes using this saw in tight quarters and close to the ground much more convenient. I have not yet used this saw for anything that would truly test its limits, but it hasn't hesitated on anything I've hit it with so far, including some steel. The Milwaukee blades are very durable and fast-cutting. I like this tool.
