Strong saw
Rating: 5
Strong saw. Made 8 cuts through 4x6s like butter. Didn't even make a dent in the 4ah battery.

Plenty of power
Rating: 5
I have great experience with the Bosch 18V drill and driver. So when I need to buy a reciprocating saw, I went with a Bosch that uses the same batteries. My hitch mounted bike rack needs to be cut in order to remove the bolt from the broken insert. With a carbide tipped blade, I was able to cut the 3/8" thick rectangular steel tubing with out any issues. I have used the wood blade and cut branches easily too.

Powerful light and best of all, cordless
Rating: 5
This tool has done two, month long remodel type projects for me since I bought it. My red, corded, supersawzall is busy collecting dust. I sometimes use 2ah batteries when on a scissor lift or ladder and they last well for 80% of my use but I have a couple 6ah for more punishing use. I've put the tool through back to back 6ah batteries with 2ah ones filling in during recharge times and it does anything I ask if it. Both for wood and metal. I've never looked back and would easily buy again. I will probably also buy the new compact 18v as soon as I can find an excuse to do so.

Package Deal
Rating: 5
I bought the Reciprocating saw as a package deal that included 1 charger, 2 batteries, 1 drill, 1 hammer drill and a light. I bought the package just before Hurricane Matthew. I got my money back by extensive use of all the items in the package including the light. I cut and notched over 40 boards with the reciprocating saw and fastened over 80 boards with the two saws and then used the two drills to take the boards down after the hurricane passed. I used the light which is very bright for hours. I did not buy the package deal for the hurricane preparation but was very glad to have it on hand.

I actually now have the GSA18V-083, but previously had the model shown. I enjoy the new configuration and weight better in the new model and appreciate the fact that I didn't have to give up power or battery life in making the change.

Great saw, easy Battery and Blade change.
Rating: 5
I like the fact that my Bosch Drill/Driver batteries interchange with the Recipricating saw. The saw blades are easy and fast to change as well as the batteries. Nice saw, will serve me well.

Wonderful saw
Rating: 5
Well balanced & easy to use reciprocal saw that has plenty of power. I have used it for wood, metal and pruning with no problems. I use the slim batteries which does run low after about 45 minutes of pretty continuous use.

Simplicity
Rating: 5
I have a corded saw, and had a barn to work on with no power. My generator is on the blink, so I purchased this saw. I cut twenty four 2x6 rough cut boards with one battery, so glad my generator was not working . So much easier without all the hassle.

M12 Corless Hackzall, Lithium-Ion.
Rating: 5
Nice little hackzall for working in remote areas, and attic or crawl spaces, excellent for plumber o electrical work, and any other uses like tree trimming, or any other stuff that need to be cut, without bundle of extension cords, and LED lights just what every tool need when working in low lighted area or no light at all, I use then as a flashlight and tool, lightweight, compact design, speed, and quality, all in one, and I will definitely recommend this to anyone who need to enjoy working with tools.

Small, light, and easy to use. Would recommend.
Rating: 5
I really like how small and light this thing is for jobs around the house. Much easier to grab than my big corded sawzall for small projects. The battery doesn't last long enough for big jobs, but with a spare you shouldn't have a problem. I have used it to cut wood, metal, plastic, and drywall over the past year and a half. It works great on everything so far. I have the soft bag case for it and the 3/8 drill/driver, but wish there were an option for a hard case for storage.

Great for small projects
Rating: 4
As an Electrician, I bring this little guy in for service call work or the instances when I need just a few cuts. It offers terrific capability in a super small package. If you've got to cut some drywall, make a few cuts in studs or flooring, or you just need a super small tool then this is your go to recip saw. For major remodels I go to my 18V Fuel saws all. My only critisisms after a year of continual use is the amount of vibration the saw produces while trying to cut conduit and the fact that the batteries are very hard to remove from the tool. I had another trades guy tell me he has the same problem. Overall I love the tool and originally thought it would be just a toy. Definately not a toy. Based on my like for this tool I plan to upgrade to the Fuel version. Nice job Milwaukee.

awsome

I purchased this baby because holding my dads big sawzall over my head for a long time while cutting sucked but, now this on is lighter and more mobile and my dad now wants one for himself cause i'm tired of lending him mine for the same thing too bad get your own dad!!

Don't waste your money.
Rating: 1
Use the saw a total of about three hours before motor started cutting in and out and finally it quit all together..thought about getting it repaired until I read the comments about the same problem I had. Decided not to wast the money. I also have the inspection camera that allow me the uses before it quit. Bought another brand and have had no problems. I have most of the other twelve vot Milwaukee tools and have had no problems with them and they get used a lot.

Not durable
Rating: 1
Motor burns up very easily under just moderate use. Runs but then quits working under load. This has happened twice in 4 years. Very disappointed in this Milwaukee tool. Did not expect Black & Decker performance and quality from a Milwaukee tool. Have the other M12 tools and never a problem, love them. Save your money on the Hacksaw - its not a good quality tool

Junk
Rating: 1
The recip saw would be perfect if the motor did not burn up. Sent in the saw for repairs, and it cost almost as much as a new complete kit with case and battery's. The repaired saw has already burnt up within 4 weeks of being rebuilt. If you dont need to use it as a recip saw its great. You might be able to use it as a hammer. the 1/4' impact driver, angle drill, multi tool, 3/8" drill, 1/4" screw gun, Radio, Jig saw and 3/8" driver are good tools to buy. Dont buy the jacket either, it wont last long.
