Great Saw
Rating: 5
I just brought this saw to get rid of a backyard pipe canopy that had rusted and not able to get the screws out. I have never used one before but found it easy to work. I purchase extra blades for our next project and everything went in the case with no problems.

My first Milwaukee
Rating: 5
The first job was to tear of the complete roof of a cabin which happened easily, quickly and safely. It cut through old hard beams with nails with minimal vibration. It cuts steel well but goes through blades quickly. The only complaint is the rubber grip keeps coming off.

Excellent saw for the money
Rating: 5
I needed to replace a 12 year old recip saw from another manufacturer that finally died. While there are many recip saws on the market, I had always wanted a REAL Milwaukee Sawzall and this saw fit the bill nicely. I use my recip saw for home remodeling projects, custom car fabrication, and even trimming trees. The 6519-31 is well balanced and light enough to one hand when needed. The 12amp motor provide plenty of unending power for even the toughest jobs like cutting titanium bolts. If there are any negatives about thsi saw the only one I can think of is it's not 100% Made in USA.

Plastic Case
Rating: 4
I am disappointed that the plastic case does not have room to store exta blades. Now it is "run to the truck and get the Sawzall and remember to bring the extra blades." The case is made of plastic, how much would it have cost to make it large enough to hold both the cord and extra blades? The old tin box was great. I wish my new saw would fit into it and I would throw this useless plastic case away.
