Milwaukee M18 FUEL Sawzall 2821-21 Update
One of the most widely used power tools in the construction industry would be the reciprocating saw. The first reciprocating saw was introduced by Milwaukee in 1951 with their SAWZALL® Reciprocating Saw.
Today, over 69 years later, we find the industry filled with full-size cordless reciprocating saws used on millions of projects on a daily basis. Users include demolition contractors, plumbers, electricians, carpenters, mechanical contractors - in both residential and commercial industries. Next to the drill, we can’t think of a power tool that touches so many different trades.
The Milwaukee Sawzall has had such an impact on the industry that it is now considered an eponym. An eponym is something whose name becomes a common reference word. Like Kleenex, Thermos, Xerox, and “Google it,” the Sawzall is now a name used to refer to any brand reciprocating saw.
Well it’s kinda wordy….and I’m not sure many people really care. Wouldn’t it be easier to just talk about them being the original “reciprocating” saw, and Sawzall has become a household term used by many to refer to a reciprocating saw.
What’s Different On This Gen 2 Sawzall
Lots of tool companies solicit feedback from their users and service center. Milwaukee takes it to the next level by going to the jobsites and seeking the feedback for their quest to provide performance-driven and trade-focused solutions with their tools.
The upgrades made to this Sawzall were a direct result of user feedback.
When I picked up this saw, the first thing I noticed was that it felt lighter, Milwaukee shaved a ½ pound off the tool but still beefed up common wear areas, while reducing weight in other areas. The second thing was that Milwaukee added more rubber over-mold on the saw which helps with vibration and long term grip.
The Gen 2 Sawzall still has a brushless Motor that provides the same 3,000 SPM but Milwaukee increased the stroke length1-1/4 inch. While 1/8-inch doesn’t seem like much this saw does cuts nail embedded wood, black pipe, and conduit faster.
Milwaukee improved the slider-crank mechanism better protecting it from water and dust ingress. This improvement was a result of direct feedback from users complaining that when cutting water-filled pipes their saw clamp and crank mechanism would get wet and the mechanism would eventually rust or seize. Water ingress and corrosion is common to the reciprocating saw landscape including all major competitors. The improvements Milwaukee made in this area can be viewed as an upgrade over existing reciprocating saws regardless of brand.
I can attest that on my older Sawzall the blade clamp sticks and is difficult to actuate, and the blade guard lever has broken off. Milwaukee replaced key parts of the blade clamp with stainless steel, for better wear and corrosion resistance.
The battery connection also has been reinforced battery with metal for improved durability and battery retention over the life of the tool.
The Extendable shoe got a HUGE upgrade and is both easier to actuate and more durable. One change you may or may not immediately notice is that the extendable shoe actuator button is recessed and covered by think rubber over-mold - protecting it from damage.
