Score: 90/100Rankings
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER SAWZALL 2722-20 is a high-performance cordless reciprocating saw designed to match or exceed the cutting power of a 15 A corded tool while offering the convenience of the M18 battery platform. It features a brushless motor delivering up to 3,000 SPM, a 1-1/4 inch stroke, and selectable orbital action for aggressive wood cutting. Best suited for contractors and tradespeople who regularly cut dimensional lumber and require heavy-duty demolition capabilities.
The Bosch GST18V-37N is a powerful 18V brushless top-handle cordless jig saw designed for professional precision in dense wood and intricate curve cutting. It features the highest speed in the category (3,300 SPM) and a lightweight design. The main trade-off is the bare tool configuration and the specific top-handle ergonomics.

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.
“Feels like a 15 A corded saw”
“Still the top-performing reciprocating saw available”
“A ton of speed control”
Professional reviewers and editors praise the Bosch GST18V-37N for its powerful brushless performance and control, particularly for curve cuts in dense wood.
Everyday user feedback is limited, but professionals echo praise for rapid blade swaps and the visibility provided by the LED and dust blower.
