Had two carpenters and an electrician working on a project at my house this week. They were in the middle of something, and needed a reciprocating saw. One guy was going to go out to his truck (a hike from where we were working), but I said I'd grab mine. Handed him the cordless sawzall, and he couldn't believe it. "I've GOT to get one of those -- that's the best sawzall I've ever used, corded or cordless." All of them had to give it a try.

The big features for him(and for me) are the reversable battery, the 90 degree adjustable handle, the balance and "feel" of the tool, and the blade locking mechanism. If your need is for all day destruction -- get a corded Milwakee sawzall, but for intermittent use this tool can't be beat. And will get into places no corded tool can handle. Comes with two long life, and quick charging, batteries. Enough that you'll hardly ever not have a fresh battery when you need it. You may be able to pay more for a sawzall, but you can't buy a better one.

I bought this saw based on Milwaukee's reputation and the satisfaction I have had with their electric tools. This recip saw is no comparison to my DeWalt. It has no battery life and seems to lack the power of the DeWalt. Even when fully charged it seems to struggle through the work piece. Possibly a bad battery because I'm sure that Milwaukee would not intentionaly produce something which posesses the lack of quality as displayed in my saw.

With 75 trees on my lot with many dead branches to trim, I was most impressed with the quality of construction and ease of use of the Milwaukee Sawzall. Cutting power and battery life are more than acceptable and recharging the batteries is a snap.

The previous reviewer of the Milwaukee 6515 18v Sawzall must have obtained one manufactured on a Monday morning or something. I do not own this saw myself, but I have frequently borrowed it from a co-worker and have been very impressed. Battery life is surprisingly decent, and the saw performs nearly as well as its plug-in counterpart. It's a bit pricey though, costing around twice as much as a corded saw.

Part of my delight with this saw is because I have been using a corded saw for years.....it is SO nice not to drag around extension cords.

This is a great saw. I bought it mostly to use with the pruning blades for tree trimming, and cutting fallen branches. It comes close to being as powerful as a corded saw. Easy to change blades. Easy to get the battery off and on.

The battery charges quickly and it holds a charge for a good long time when not in use.

love this saw. works grate. when you need to cut some thing in a hurry no cord to have to get out.

Worked just fine. Really like it. Cut some tree branches with it and it worked great.
