Sawsall Recommendation

Posted by CWLee on September 22, 2005, 3:09 pm

I have a chance to get some home repair and carpentry done
in exchange for my buying the materials, and a new "sawsall"
for the person who will do the work. That is a tool I had
never heard of until recently, but I want to buy one of the
very best to give in exchange for the labor involved. He
had no suggestions, other than to be sure it was pretty
powerful. What brands, models, styles, etc. do those of you
who have used these tools recommend? Which brands, models,
styles should I avoid? Price is not a significant
consideration, but local (Los Angeles area) availability of
spare parts and repair services is.
Ideas, suggestions?
Thanks.

Does it have a model number, size, or other distinguishing
characteristics - or does Milwaukee make only one? Thanks.

I absolutely 100% agree with Mr. Hensley. And that is scary.
I have had several Milwaukee Sawzalls. I never had one minute of problems
with them. All were either stolen or sold at the end of the project, or
upon sellout of the business.
Also, I had a Milwaukee SDS rotohammer, that was their smaller model. It
was without a doubt, the best rotohammer of that size I have ever used, and
I have drilled a lot of holes.
Buy a Milwaukee. Fergeddabout it. Just use it.
Don't abuse it. Toss it down. Let it get full of dirt. Get loose screws.
It will probably be one of the things left in your estate that goes to your
heirs.
Good work, Mr. Hensley.
Steve
