Milwaukee M12 Hackzall
Score: 75/100Rankings
The Makita XRJ04Z is an 18V LXT cordless reciprocating saw designed for cutting speed and convenience within the Makita ecosystem. It features a robust 1-1/4 inch stroke and XPT protection, though it lacks some advanced features like orbital action. It is best suited for users already invested in the Makita 18V LXT battery platform.
The Milwaukee 2420-20 is a compact, one-handed cordless reciprocating saw optimized for tight spaces and overhead applications with a 12V power system. It lacks the power for heavy-duty demolition and requires a separate battery purchase. It is best suited for plumbers, electricians, and remodelers working in confined areas.
