Lots of power!
Rating: 5
It all started couple of months ago, when I bought the 12v drill & impact driver. I was so impressed that I went ahead & bought the 12v reciprocating saw. Well made, small, light maneuverable, and plenty of power for a 12v cordless tool. Love this series of 12v tools by Bosch.

Very powerful and mobile for the size
Rating: 5
This saw is awesome. It makes cutting conduit and pvc so much easier. When I'm on a roof doing professional electrical work, not having to carry a full size saw is fantastic. Any time I need to get under a car or my jeep to get exhaust loose or old bolts off, this thing is a champ with tight spaces. I will say that it is good to have multiple batteries (I have 4 for my entire 12v line) so that you can do continuous work. This is probably the best cordless tool that I owned in terms of usefulness, durability, and power.

Great compact cutting tool.
Rating: 5
This is a great compact cutting tool for tight spaces. The short stroke and light weight helps a lot for these tight spaces. (Especially overhead.) The LED light is a great feature to keep small work areas bright for cutting.

Perfect Saw for Jobs with Limited Space
Rating: 5
I bought this 12V Saw for those times when I need to trim an item located in tight or limited space to maneuver, and where I needed enough control to make a correct cut. The Saw uses the same blade types as the larger Bosch Reciprocating Saws and is much easier to deploy when cutting overhead or at angles where a larger saw would be a challenge. I noticed that in general there is much less dust spread about due to the small stroke of the Saw, particularly good when working overhead and in environments where there is sensitivity to Jobsite dust. The Saw has more than enough power to take on most jobs I have encountered to date and the built in LEDs allow ,me to stay focused on the job in those dark corners I often find myself having to make quick cuts and trims.

Perfect for mobile shop use.
Rating: 5
I've been using this tool for a little over a year now, and I have had absolutely no issues with it. It's amazing what this little saw will chew through, I've even cut some 1/4" steel plate! Being powerful it eats through batteries, but if you have a couple Batt420's you should be fine.

Great Design for Electricians - Need 18v Version
Rating: 5
This design is excellent when one handed operation is required. That said when repeated use on galvanized pipe is needed, an 18v version is needed. Please offer and sales will come...

amazing power
Rating: 5
i ussually have my older 18v blue core recip saw in my car but now that i have this smaller unit it amazed me that it could do just as much in a smaller and lighter unit !

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!!
by need a tool yea i got it on 2012-06-03T17:00:00

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.
