For years, Milwaukee’s Sawzalls have been valued for their outstanding ability to cut through almost any material: wood, nail-embedded wood, steel, cast iron, aluminum, brass, drywall, composition materials, hard rubber, cement, brick, plaster, and fiberglass. This model is particularly popular among drywall contractors who prefer its shallow 3/4-inch stroke, but it’s a good all-purpose choice for either the professional contractor or do-it-yourselfer who is busy with standard demolition work.
For those of you who’ve grown up with Sawzalls, you’ll appreciate the addition of the handy Quik-Lok blade clamp, which lets you change blades quickly without having to use a hex wrench; this feature is especially convenient when you’re cutting hard materials such as steel, a situation in which blades break frequently.
