| stingersplace's Full Review: Milwaukee 11 Amp Orbital Action Super Sawzall 6521... |
I bought this saw a year ago and it has become one of the most used tools in my shop. I had a 4 amp Milwaukee Sawzall before and it was fine but I really only used it for cutting out walls etc. - which I don't do very often. This is a whole different animal. I keep it by the vise and use it very often to cut metal. It runs through heavy steel so well I rarely use the hacksaw anymore. Put a 10 tpi blade in it and it tears through 1/8" aluminum like it thinks it's cardboard.
I really like the adjustable blade guard that lets you get more mileage out of those expensive bimetal blades. It should have a stop at the last click though. Love the quick change blade too.
With a good blade on it and the orbital up, this saw goes through plywood quicker than you can pull it. I really have nothing bad to say about it. I got it on sale at Home Depot for $150 and have been completely happy with it ever since.
