Which Milwaukee Sawzall is best?
Sawzalls (or reciprocating saws) are ideal power tools for quickly cutting through whatever you need, be it wood, metal or plaster. The cuts won’t be the prettiest but the reciprocating (back and forth) action of the saw blade gives you a powerful and versatile tool. When choosing the right Milwaukee Sawzall for you, there are a few things to consider. Faster blade speeds will mean a quicker, more controlled cut. Stroke length is another important attribute to consider - the longer it is, the faster the cut and the longer your Sawzall blade with last. Consider other features that could be useful to you, LED job lights and tool-less blade changing, and whether you want a corded tool or cordless for greater portability. Check out our range of Milwaukee reciprocating saws.
