Milwaukee 2625-21 M18 18V Hackzall Cordless One-Handed Reciprocating Saw Kit

I hate to admit this, but I actually own three recip saws, a Milwaukee super sawzall, a Dewalt 12v Max cordless recip, and this Milwaukee. Their primary use now is in my yard, with lots of heavy pruning, root removal, and branch removal being the primary use. I had also, until about a year ago, owned a V18 Milwaukee recip saw that was my first cordless saw. I got that saw when I had seen my plumber use it to cut out and replace a shower faucet that involved carving out a lot of interfering stud work and was impressed with its power and portability. He love the tool, used it every day, and clearly gave it hard use- and it had held up well for him. Hence the original V18 purchase. Having both the super and the V18 gave me a chance to use them side by side in the yard for a year that involved a lot of heavy tree work. What struck me most was the difference in operating comfort, as well as capacity, for the corded Super Sawzall vs the V18 cordless model. If was definitely easier to not have to run power out to the tree with a cord, but the bigger saw also vibrated a LOT less and was a lot more comfortable to use for extended work. The V18 was also definitely easier to use overhead (most tree work) even with less power and limited run time. Last year, I decided it was time to upgrade my V18 set to something newer. I shifted to the new Dewalt 12v Max tools for my impact and drill-driver, and have been very happy with that decision. Based on those tools, I decided to try the Dewalt 12v max reciprocating saw. It' a good tool and light and powerful enough for pruning the Oleander that grows like it's on some kind of steroids out here, but it has as much vibration as my old V18 Milwaukee sawzall. So, when I ran across a review of the M18 Milwaukee Sawzall, I couldn't help but notice the comments about its smoothness and easy handling. Those reviews were absolutely right - it's a great tool on ll counts. It's designed for one-handed use, easy to use overhead. Battery life is very good, and it actually feels as smooth or smother than my corded super sawzall. It is now my go-to recip saw, and is my most used power tool in the summer and for winter pruning. My corded sawzall still gets use on heavy branches and for cutting out heavy tree and Wysteria roots (in California) mine grow more like trees than they ever did in the Midwest). All in all, the Milwaukee is a great tool. It's well designed and well made. It has the feel of a quality tool, it's smooth and easy to handle and use overhead. And it's held up well with a lot of hard use this past year. I have been very, very happy with this purchase and would recommend it without reservation for rough carpenter, plumber, or electrician use.

We used this to cut out an extensive root network from a nearby tree that had broken our sprinkler system and it worked great. We purchased three different length blades suitable for cutting wood so that we could change blades depending on the diameter of root. The biggest root was about 9 inches in diameter. There is some vibration when using it and it does take some muscle but saved us days of work compared to using an axe by hand. We used two batteries so when one ran out we could charge it and use the other. They charge fast and I like that they have an indicator as to how much battery life is left. Update: have since used this for cutting a hole for a pet door, tree branches, rusted metal bolts. We just get the appropriate blade for whatever we’re cutting and it has never failed us. A quality power tool.

Been thinking about getting a reciprocating saw for some time, but due to the fact that I am a female, and not so strong in the arms, made me wait until they came out with one that was reasonably lightweight, but still had some cutting power, mostly for small projects around the home. I was not sure this would be the best choice, but took a chance after reading the pros and cons about other saws and helpful reviews, plus studying the specs at the Milwaukee website. I am happy to say, this saw was better than expected. Fairly easy to handle for me, and easy to snap in blade changes. I ordered a second regular size battery (this one comes with the XC battery, which is heavier) which will surfice for quick little cutting projects just fine. I also ordered the 12 pack blade replacements, and now have a cutting outfit that will handle many different jobs. The tool is well balanced, and really not much vibration when cutting, so it works just perfect for me. It seems to be well built, and nicely finished. The tool bag that comes with it is perfect to store it in along with the extra blades and charger. My husband likes it too, and he can handle the extra weight of the XC battery pack, and can do some tree branch cutting without fussing with an electrical cord. Very Good Purchase!

Awesome little saw, honestly having encountered anything where i felt like I needed something larger. Love the size, easy to store with my other tools without being too bulky. Solid grip. Works like a charm, cuts well.

Excellent tool for the house. Customer service is second to none. Th backpack was shipped without the carrying case bag by mistake. Once I notified the seller of the Thnmissong bag, they shipped the missing part to me right away. Excellent seller

Nice kit but taking a star away because it is advertised to make you think a blade comes with it. It doesn’t! I reached out to manufacturer to complain but heard nothing back. Maybe a mistake? Guess I’ll never know. For the price you’d think a blade would come with.

I have a juniper in the front yard that has not been trimmed for too many years. I'm on the older side now, and I was looking for an easier way of handling this. Watching a couple of YouTube videos all pointed me in the same direction - this Milwaukee! It came quickly, had everything I needed, and even the battery was charged. No longer having any excuses, I went to work. Or, the Milwaukee went to work!!! It made short work of anything I pointed it at. I'm VERY happy with this!

I ordered the Milwaukee 2625-21 M18 18V Hackzall Cordless One handed Reciprocating Saw Kit from Happy Tool and upon receipt of box noted the M18 battery was missing. I notified Happy Tool and they informed me that their warehouse photos show that all items were placed in my box. If I had received all the items then I would not be attempting to get the missing item. I have asked for photos and don’t expect to receive them. If they have a photo of the M18 placed in my box then someone in the warehouse removed it before shipping. Happy Tool is accusing the customer of cheating which really angers me. I do not recommend doing business with this company based upon my experience.

Me gusto mucho, trae todo lo que dice en la publicación. Gracias

My husband loves this saw, and so do I. It's very easy to use in hard to reach places and you are not restricted to areas with electricity. No more wired reciprocating saw for us, this one does the job with ease, and has plenty of power. If you live in a colder climate, like us, however, you should be sure to keep this in a heated space. Cold temperatures will have a negative impact on the battery, which, incidentally, you should buy an an extra one of, to avoid work stoppages!

Perfect unit for a hunter to pack to quarter a large animal

compre el producto y llego defectuoso por tal motivo tuve que absorber el costo de la importación , deberían de revisar los productos antes de su venta y ver que sean funcionales y nuevos

El titulo de la publicacion dice "y una bateria XC", en las caracteristicas dice que incluye bateria asi como tambien, en la foto de la herramienta se aprecia una bateria pero en mi caso, el vendedor de Mexico Milwaukee Store (no es Amazon) saco provecho y envio la herramienta SIN bateria; lo reporte a Amazon y ya estan evaluando la situacion por la falta de probidad del vendedor. Cabe mencionar que la herramienta se aprecia bien, con calidad, pero no se si funcione o venga dañana hasta que me llegue la bateria para probarla. Amazon ofrece un gran respaldo ante estas situaciones, solo tienen que esperar de 1 a 2 semanas para tener la respuesta.
