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 Milwaukee 2719-20 is a compact, one-handed cordless reciprocating saw designed for tight spaces, featuring a brushless motor and low vibration. It lacks orbital action and built-in lighting, which limits its versatility for heavy demolition or dark workspaces. It is best suited for plumbers and electricians needing precision in 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.
