Very Impressed with sawzsall

I saw a guy use a
Milwaukee 2720-80 M18 FUEL brush less Cordless SAWZALL. I was impressed to watch him plunge cut through flooring without bending a blade. Cut the floor as if it was hot butter. I was also impressed that it didn't shake at all. Weigh 7.4 pounds.

I discovered I can buy a bare tool sawszall and an adapter so I can use my 20v 5a dewalt battery on sawzall.

If I've been nice, santa might me a sawzall for Christmas. Will say goodbye to my dewalt saw. Might pass the dewalt saw to my SIL or son.
20v dewalt to M18v

Milwaukee has it going on they are killing other tool brands when it comes to cordless tools... Its an addiction I can not get enoufh of..

Look up Jersey discount tool co for the best prices.

I used to think I had to stick to one brand (dewalt) because I didn't
want to buy batteries and chargers for other brands. Now I can still
use my 5a 20v dewalt batteries on other brands. Already have an
adapter to use dewalt battery on Makatia. Now I discovered there is an
adapter to use dewalt on Milwaukee.

Only thing that would be better is all cordless companies have a
universal battery. Like cell phones, all use same charger.

BTW, Amazon sells aftermarket 6a 20v dewalt batteries at a very good
price. They will put to shame the old school batteries. So don't think
of rebuilding old batteries, make the jump and go with the big boy
batteries, 20v Li.

Get enough 20v Li batteries and you can make your own Tesla. LoL

I have probably 20 Milwaukee cordless tools and love them. I recently purchased the 7 1/4 circular saw and it cut oak 2x4 just was good as a corded saw.

At 70 I don't use my cordless tools like I used to. However, there will be a color shift from yellow to red when my very old dewalt tools die.
I have about 20 yellow cordless tools. Finding adapters so I can still keep my dewalt batteries will be less painful making the transition to red.

The fuel sawzsall is nice. Only problem I have had is figuring out whether my son or son in law borrowed it when it's not where it's supposed to be. Had no idea on the adapter.

I'll never be able to wrap my head around a cordless recip saw. I go with corded all the way.

That said, for several years I had been horribly upset when trying to retire my 40+-year-old Milwaukee Sawzall. It always ran quite smooth. Newer saws were more aggressive, but I use my saw for more than just demolition!

I finally saw an ad for Skilsaw's new recip saw. The video intrigued me so much that I ordered one. WOW!, am I amazed!! This is THE smoothest-running recip saw I've ever seen, bar none! The only thing I'm not thrilled about is the blade lock. It's good, but I've seen better out there. Was really (pleasantly) surprised with the quality also, as I haven't been a Skilsaw fan for MANY years.

While performing demolition work here in the house, (smoke room like your rental) and installing a new 6 panel pine door, one of my good friends was available to help. I hired him and some of his tools. He has this H-F plunge cutter, (I'm sure there are other brands) and I have to say it is one of the handiest darned tools I have ever used when doing this work. I supplied spare blades as we did go through a few. One thing that stood out is that the rough opening for the door is somehow off kilter, and I think since the earthquake of April '02, all 4 doors in this foyer area either settled or now just off. House was completed in '78, so it's not what I would consider to be an old one with widespread issues like this. Concrete foundation, stick framed and was done right.

That door was on the miserable side to set, and it took some cutting of the bottom leg of the jamb to fit it to the opening and line up correctly, that tool was just a huge time saver and fits in places nothing else will. The other tool that was just as handy was the brad nailer he brought over. I brought my small compressor upstairs and used it to fasten and adjust the frame just right before securing it for good. I'll be obtaining one of each, plunge cutter and a Rigid brad nailer, lot of work to do yet, well worth the investment.

oscillating multi-tool ? if so yes a neat tool...

I m on the Milwaukee m18 fuel bandwagon. For me I can t see ever using corded tools again.

Yes, that was the first word I thought of when I used it, "Oscillating" low cost and highly effective.

I had a guy remolding a house of mine he came down on a train from NY so did not bring any tools. He replaced all the flooring while were at Lowe's I ask is there anything you need I don't have he said YES a oscillating multi-tool... It paid for its self in labor cost saved : ) several times over...
