Score: 88/100Rankings
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER SAWZALL 2722-20 is a high-performance cordless reciprocating saw designed for heavy-duty construction and demolition, featuring selectable orbital action for aggressive cutting. Its weight and size are trade-offs for its superior power and control features. It is best suited for professional contractors and tradespeople who need corded-level power and precision in demanding applications.
The Bosch GSA18V-24N is a lightweight, compact reciprocating saw engineered for precision cutting in tight spaces without sacrificing power. Its main trade-off is a shorter stroke length which limits deep-cut capacity compared to larger models. It is best suited for HVAC workers, plumbers, and electricians who need access to confined areas.

Professional reviewers consistently position the 2722-20 near the top of the cordless reciprocating-saw category, noting it remains the top-performing reciprocating saw available even eight years after release. Editors highlight that it often beats 15 A corded reciprocating saws in timed cuts through dimensional lumber, largely due to its selectable orbital action which gives it a clear edge in heavy-duty demo over non-orbital models.
Everyday users frequently report that the saw feels like a 15 A corded saw, particularly when using orbital mode for thick framing or branches. Common praise centers on dramatically faster cutting speeds through wood and metal compared to lighter-duty cordless alternatives, as well as the solid build quality and convenience of the tool-free blade change.
