  • Power + Control = Joy
It had been many years since I last used a recipro saw, but I can't say my 'fascination' with them ebbed any during that time. While working to repair the framing of the 10 year old deck on my house, I finally "saw" (yuk yuk) a clear need for buying one for myself: breaking ~50 nails free from the deck's joists. After this particular project, my needs for the saw would be occasional but I value quality in my tools b/c that usually equates to longevity -- and I wanted a saw that would be ready to go 15+ years from now. Shopping around, I basically saw the market as being: 1) ~$100 saws that had an on-off switch only and no counterbalancing; and, 2) $150+ saws that gave the user more control over the cut. Purely for demolition work, buying a $100 on/off saw makes a lot of sense . . . use it ruthlessly until it fails and then replace it pretty inexpensively. But with me valuing quality/longevity and needing the flexibility to cover projects I couldn't yet anticipate, I wanted counterbalancing for more accurate cuts, I wanted power to cover different potential needs and I wanted to be able to control the stroke speed more than just by a variable pressure trigger. This led me to the Super Sawzall 15amp. I looked at the competing Makita but online reviews suggested some owner dissatisfaction. Considering Milwaukee's reputation in the recipro market and its 5 year warranty, I bought the Super Sawzall 15amp. Using the saw for the deck project was amazing. The power got me through 8d exterior nails in just seconds. The tool is easy to hold and line-up for the cut. I didn't find the weight to be an issue as some have commented, the saw feels fairly well balanced in my hands. And speaking of balance, this counterbalanced saw doesn't feel at all like a jackhammer that wants to jump out of your hands (like I remember the early Sawzall being). Using this one is about as complicated as using a power drill -- only if you're clumsy/distracted will you end up with a botched outcome. The storage case is well designed, not larger than it needs to be and includes plenty of room for blades of various lengths. (Note: I have not yet tried orbital cuts with this saw, so I cannot comment on that performance.) A key consideration in buying this corded 15amp saw -- or any 15amp power tool -- is your extension cord. Drawing 15amps, you need a heavy gauge extension cord to be working an appreciable distance away from your power source. At this writing, a 10 gauge, 100' extension cord is ~$100 so you may need to figure this cost into your purchase consideration. Bottom line: I'm impressed with the build quality, control and power of this saw. I look forward to moving rapidly through future home projects and then one day passing the saw to my son. ... show more

  • High quality and versatile product
This is an incredibly useful and well-built tool. I have used my Sawzall for construction projects (wood and metal), and even for cutting down fallen trees on my property. The carrying case is also very durable and compact, making it easy for transport. Worth every penny it cost me.

  • Best Sawzall Yet
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. ... show more

  • Powerful saw, but does not last.
This is a great saw. I like all the features. I won't buy a saw with a locking trigger - very dangerous. This one does not have that which is why I keep buying them. These saws last me about one year. We deconstruct houses in all types of weather in Vermont. We use them hard. I would give 5 stars if the motors did not burn up after one year. ... show more

  • A must-have for this homeowner!
Our outside maintenance had been neglected for several years, due to my husband's health issues, and eventual passing. Everything was overgrown, and there were MANY trees from 1"- 3" diameter much too close to the house, and along the driveway - making it difficult to avoid scratching vehicles. I had hand-sawed several, but some - especially the oak trees - were proving VERY difficult. So I had rented a HD Milwaukee Sawsall in November, and also purchased a 12"/5TPI Milwaukee blade. It was amazing how quick - and easy on my arms and back - the Sawsall cut through the trees. The HARDEST part, was dragging and stacking everything! It didn't bind, and wasn't too heavy for me to handle. I also used it to cut out some small stumps, so I won't hit them with my mower in the Spring. I only made a dent in what I would like to do outside, so I decided it would be more cost-effective to purchase a reciprocating saw. After my rental experience - and my research for the best saw - I found that the Milwaukee Super Sawsall IS the best electric reciprocating saw available. Since it's only January and extremely cold here, it will be a few months before I use this one. But I have no doubt that it will perform as well as the one that I rented. AND I have in mind some inside projects, that this will be very handy for! ... show more

  • Disappointed.
I use this tool mainly for tree trimming. It's powerful. It's also reliable, EXCEPT that the shoe pin easily falls out of the shoe release lever. The pin holds the guard on the front of the saw. So if you want the guard, you have to have the pin. The shoe release lever is made of plastic, so it flexes easily, and out drops the pin. Where did it go? If you work outside, as I do, you will have trouble finding it. Good luck ordering a replacement. Most part stores are out of stock. Guess why? Lots of people are having this problem. ... show more
