Sawing through pipes, nails, timber and just about anything else became a heck of a lot easier when, in 1951, Milwaukee Tools unleashed the first ever portable electric hacksaw. Dubbed the “Sawzall”, it has remained the yardstick for how a reciprocating saw should perform for over 60 years, with ongoing innovations continually upping expectations of what a reciprocating saw can do.
With the introduction The M18 FUEL Sawzall featuring POWERSTATE brushless motor, we now had a cordless recip saw that provided the cutting power previously only associated with its corded counterparts. Suddenly the humble reciprocating saw was turning up on jobsites for heavy construction and demolition work.
The addition of Milwaukee ONE-KEY technology sees the Sawzall raise the bar once again.
Customise and control with ONE-KEY
With the ONE-KEY app, you can wirelessly connect the tool to your smart phone, input the blade and material type you’re cutting and the software will select the best speed for the blade and whether or not to include a soft start.
You can also take complete control over the output speed and power generated to achieve optimal performance for specific applications. These custom profiles can then be saved to the memory of the tool and the connection to the phone is no longer necessary. The tool’s memory supports up to four custom profiles that can be easily accessed with the touch of a button.
