Reciprocating Saw Review:

Over 70 years ago (1951 to be exact) Milwaukee Tools introduced the first reciprocating saw called the SAWZALL.

Since then technology has advanced dramatically. Currently, there is a plethora of full-size cordless reciprocating saws that are being used on millions of job sites every day!

For our H2H we looked at17 reciprocating saws for this Head-To-Head from the major manufacturers except for Bosch.

Bosch was asked to participate, however, they declined.

For our testing format, our team looked at a total of 9 trade-specific criteria, ranked independently, to determine the best cordless reciprocating saw.

We looked at:

1. Timed Test 1: Gas Pipe for plumbers.
2. Timed Test 2: Unistrut for electricians.
3. Timed Test 3: Nail Embedded Wood for Carpenters and Remodelers.Features

All reciprocating saws were fitted with task-specific, brand-new Milwaukee Nitrus Carbide blades before testing, which shifted the focus away from the blades and more toward the saws.

By removing an external testing variable, the use of uniform blades throughout the testing ensured the emphasis was on the saws, not the blades.

Milwaukee claims that the NITRUS CARBIDE technology outlasts existing carbide-toothed reciprocating saw blades by 3-times, and that their blades have 25% more Carbide per tooth.

Battery Pack Guidelines

We requested manufacturers send us two of their batteries in the 4.0Ah to 6.0Ah range. This was to even out the playing field as some of these companies have very large batteries for these saws.


Testing and Jig Information

To ensure a repeatable even cut for gas pipe, we used a jig composed of 4 extruded aluminum towers that act as vertical rails for a mounting platform that holds and constrains the saw.

At the heart of the jig is a 3D-printed fractal vise that can move around irregular surfaces or the saw to provide even horizontal clamping force. Additional straps are used to hold the saws in place.

All of the saws were fitted with new Milwaukee 6-inch TORCH blades. ( 7 TPI with Nitrus Carbide Teeth)

A timing system is used on the jig that takes advantage of two carefully positioned micro-switches that control the start and stop time of the cut.

Our process was to raise the saws above the material with an attached rope, start the saws at their highest setting and use a Velcro strap to keep the saw trigger in the “full-on” position.

The saw is carefully lowered into the cut and the micro-switch timing starts as the cut sequence is initiated.

At this time the weight of the saw and the weight of the mounting platform ~20lbs was the cutting force exerted into the cut.
