Review Detail

I was not really impressed with this tool when I first purchased it. It cut all right, it was just the the battery did not last all that long. With Nicads this saw will only last less than about 10 minutes. When I got some V18 batteries and tried them on this saw, I was much more impressed, now it could cut for closer to 15-20 minutes.
This saw does have very little vibration. A lot less than the Makita LXT, About on par with a regular Milwaukee corded sawzall.
The folding handle is a little different, sometimes it actually is useful. Folded the saw is about thirteen inches long, which can fit in some places a regular sawzall cannot. I often find myself using it with the handle fully extended, when I'm working on a ladder. I feel I can exert more pressure easily with an over handed grip that is accommodated with this handle style.
The quick release blade clamp functions flawlessly, and is always easily accessible, unlike Makitas LXT.

Milwaukees 18 volt Nicad tools can now be had for bargain prices. They work a lot better with the new V18 LithIon batteries.

Would I buy it again? Probably not. I'm so much more used to a regular styled sawzall, like Milwaukee's V28 offering.
