Milwaukee M18 FUEL Sawzall Red
Score: 88/100Rankings
The Milwaukee 2719-20 M18 FUEL Hackzall is a compact, one-handed cordless reciprocating saw featuring a high-speed brushless motor and advanced vibration control. It excels in tight spaces and overhead work but lacks the power for heavy structural demolition. Ideal for DIYers and tradespeople needing a portable cutter for plumbing, pruning, and light demolition.
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.
