Milwaukee 6519-31 12 Amp Corded 3000 Strokes Per Minute Reciprocating Sawzall w/ Variable Speed Trigger

This is one great tool ! I have owned this tool for over a year. Sill works like brand new. In my opinion it's a must have for every person ( doesn't matter if you are a DIY'er or a carpenter ). I have used this tool for multiple tasks ( cutting wood, metal, or plastic ) and it performed flawlessly. It is very efficient for demolition jobs. I have not found the need for a bigger and more powerful sawzall. This model has a quick install / release for the blade. You just turn a little metal wheel, drop the blade in, release the wheel and you are good to go. It takes 3 seconds to do it. You don't need any tools to change the blade. The mechanism that holds the blade in place dose get really hot if you you use the tool for a long time. It is not inconvenient from my point of view. You just have to be careful when you change the blade. And one other important feature is the speed adjustment. The speed adjuster is in the trigger itself. The harder you press, the faster it goes. I think this one is going to last a long time just like any other Milwaukee tool that I own.

Recently got this tool, after countless recomendations from friends, family and my own research (internet review, etc). For $99 this is an awesome deal. The saw has the power for house projects and much more, I built some cabinets and a deck, this tool was by my side the whole time. A+ The blad can be installed right side up or upside down, the trigger is sturdy enough to keep you from accidentally going full speed. There's no variable speed knob, you simply use the trigger, the softer the squeeze, the less power and vice versa. Here's what you get: 1 Saw of course, intructions, that's it. It comes in a nice hard case, which doesn't have much room for other tools or PPE. I didn't notice any issues, no over heating, etc. Make sure you follow the instructions carefully and you should be fine. Nothing much to say, I'm not a professional builder, but I can handle my own, so if you are just like me, a regular guy, this tool will be more than enough. By the way, I bought these Milwaukee 49-22-1129 12-Piece Ultimate Demolition Sawzall Blade Set and they work great. I only used one wood and one metal for my entire project!

I don't need to go into the features of this simple tool because anyone thinking of buying one already knows how versatile it is or, if they don't, just read the product description and other reviews. All I will say is that this is how all power tools should be made. It's a serious tool for serious, heavy-duty work. Some might quibble with the use of plastic but modern high-impact plastics are, in many ways, better than metals, especially aluminum and other alloys. I have seen many broken metal power tools but I don't recall every seeing a broken tool with plastic housings, etc. Also, using plastics (properly) allows for double insulated tools that are safer. This tool is proof that Milwaukee is in the business of making serious tools for day in and day out heavy duty work unlike some of the cheap tools out there. The case is very nice too. I also really like the blade lock system. I only wish my old saber saws had such a system instead of the two screws you have to mess with. I have been a tool freak for 46 years of my 62 years and I really appreciate fine tools and this saw is truly a fine tool.

This saw is a beast and will go through almost anything. It is typical Milwaukee ruggedness and has a lot of power at a reasonable price point. I actually purchased to cut down some smaller trees instead of my chain saw and it did not disappoint. With the pruning blade I purchased, I cut down a 14" diameter tree! It took some work, but this saw went right through it. I love Milwaukee power tools, and have had several with no complaints. Highly recommend this saw!

Milwaukee brand. That says it all. Quality manufacture and operation. Personally, I prefer wired tools, all my tasks are in or near the house, so access to an outlet is not an issue. The power of 12amps enables this saw to handle almost any job. Solid construction and handles well. It is a bit heavy, but that's to be expected. Ergonomically...well designed. Solid, high recommendation to buy for anyone searching for a reliable, powerful reciprocating saw. Also, get quality blades....get the right tools, and jobs are executed efficiently and effectively.

I recently had to cut up a 275 gallon heating oil tank to remove it from my basement. I decided that my 'old enough to vote', 6.5 amp Craftsman reciprocating saw wasn’t up to the job and that I owed it to my happiness to buy a modern replacement. I looked at Milwaukee, DeWalt, Skil and Bosch for saws in the range of $100 or so and 12 amps. All looked to be good saws but I decided on the Milwaukee because of it’s reviews and features and long warranty. It has an anti-vibration feature that not all the others have and the reviewers claimed it’s rugged. A clutch helps prevent gearbox breakage. Plus, it has a nice case (not all do) with room for some blades. And it’s a real Sawzall! Amazon’s price was around $20 less than I could buy the same saw locally. The saw cut up the tank with ease. I used 18 and 24 tooth Bosch and Lenox blades, using mostly the 18 tooth. I bent a few blades but that was due to curved steel and the operator, not the saw. The quick release blade function worked well, even with gloves on (needed because the blade and clamp mechanism get hot). The saw has plenty of power to zip through 12 gauge steel and I cut that tank up into about a dozen manageable pieces to carry up the stairs. It also cut through the thick steel of the welds and flanges quickly. The saw itself got warm but not hot. I’m pleased with the purchase and give the saw five stars.

Amazing tool. Can probably find it for cheaper somewhere else but what you see is what you get

Great saw. Lots of power and comes in a nice hard case. Tough to beat Milwaukee when it comes to reciprocating saws! Very fast tool-less blade changes. I picked up the Milwaukee 12 piece demolition blade set (Also on Amazon) and it has a great variety of different blades in a nice hard plastic carrying case. The case of blades easily fits into the molded plastic Sawzall case. Would definitely but this again and would recommend it to a friend.

Product was just as described. I ordered it gift wrapped, it didn’t show up gift wrapped

Best saw EVER! Totally recommend! Extra stroke length makes all the difference! Buy one!! Super fast shipping from Amazon as usual too!!

Did all I wanted it to do. I even used it with a long wood blade to cut the roots of a small tree right out of the ground.
