Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a Milwaukee HACKZALL® and SAWZALL®?
A Milwaukee HACKZALL® is a compact reciprocating saw designed for one-handed operation, improved control, and access in tight spaces. It is well suited for plumbing, electrical, maintenance, overhead cutting, and other applications where a full-size saw may be difficult to use.
A Milwaukee SAWZALL® is a full-size reciprocating saw designed for faster material removal and demanding cutting applications. Its two-handed design provides greater control when cutting through wood, metal, PVC, demolition materials, and other jobsite materials.
What is the difference between a Milwaukee SAWZALL® and SUPER SAWZALL®?
A Milwaukee SAWZALL® reciprocating saw is a versatile choice for demolition, renovation, construction, and general cutting applications.
A SUPER SAWZALL® is designed for the most demanding cutting tasks and provides increased cutting performance for users working through heavy wood, metal, and demolition materials. Certain SUPER SAWZALL models also include orbital action to help increase cutting speed in appropriate materials.
What does orbital action do on a Milwaukee reciprocating saw?
Orbital action moves the blade in an elliptical pattern rather than only moving it straight back and forth. This can help increase cutting speed in wood and certain demolition materials.
Orbital action should not be used for every application, particularly when greater cutting control or a smoother cut is required. Always review the tool and blade instructions before selecting orbital mode.
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL™ SUPER SAWZALL® Reciprocating Saw, 2722-20, includes orbital action for demanding cutting applications.
