Summary: This about Saws It All
Comment: Old habits are hard to break. I've been using a Milwaukee 18-Volt NiCd Sawzall for years. Every time I thought about upgrading, I would go the cheaper route and buy another 18-Volt battery. It would die. I would buy another battery. Please, if you are caught in this trap, don't do like I did. Take the high road. The new V-28 Lithium-Ion tools are fantastic and you will not regret it. Awesome power and long-lasting batteries that indicate how much charge is left. I now have an 18-Volt NiCd-antique for a garage sale. However, considering the small change I could get for it, I'll probably keep it and hang it on the wall in the wordshop as a reminder that cheaper isn't always better. Besides, Milwaukee Sawzalls are the best looking saws in the parade, even the old ones.

Summary: Amazing tool
Comment: I've owned the V28 Sawzall kit for a couple months and it's already paid for itself with all the work it has saved me. The pruning blade makes it easy to saw off tree limbs, and topping, shaping trees. No cord to get in the way.
I needed to saw off a section of a 4" pipe made of 1/8" aluminum for a mailbox pole. "The Torch" blade made short work of that. I could have spent 20 minutes using a hacksaw and gotten a ragged cut. But the Sawzall did it effortlessly in about 2 minutes with nice clean cut.
You can do just about anything with just two power tools: the Sawzall for heavy work and the Dremel for light stuff.

Summary: Most powerful cordless, and longest lasting battery
Comment: Milwaukee 0719-22 V28 Sawzall Lithium-Ion Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit
My advice is to consider buying this Sawzall as part of the Milwaukee 0928-29 V28 Cordless 4-Tool Combo Kit. For $200 more, you'll get the V28 Hammer Drill/Driver, the V28 circular saw, and the V28 flashlight. All are excellent and designed for day-in day-out contractor use.
Cons:
- Milwaukee should incorporate a rotating handle that locks in the normal position, 90 degrees left, or 90 degrees right (similar to the handle on the SuperHawg drill); or, better yet, have a variable angle head like the Porter Cable Tiger Claw.
Pros:
- 28 volt Lithium-Ion batteries; the highest voltage available, and longest lasting, batteries; 3rd generation technology. The only reason to buy a 1st generation NiCad tool is, you can't afford NiMH or Lithium-Ion. Either one is far superior to NiCad.
- V28 power. This is my 3rd reciprocating saw, and the one I use most of the time. It's not as powerful as my 11.5 amp Porter Cable saw, but it handles most house renovation tasks. Not having a cord is, of course, the huge plus of this tool.
- Press a button on a V28 battery and 1 to 4 LEDs will shine, indicating remaining power. You'll know if it needs a charge BEFORE climbing the ladder, etc.
- Excellent ergonomics; comfortable handle and rubberized front grip, good switch function. Battery is NOT reversible, in spite of the Amazon sales pitch, but it really doesn't need to be.
- Quick and easy tool-less blade change. Takes about 1 second to remove or insert a blade. It's so easy, I remove the blade when transporting the saw or putting it in a tool case.
- Speed switch has all the choices needed: LOW, Lock, HIGH. Lock disables the ON switch. I use lock when removing the battery, changing the blade, or just carrying the saw with a blade installed.
- This is a terrific saw for tree or heavy brush pruning. With the 9" Milwaukee pruning blade (or a 12" wood blade), you can cut down decent-sized trees. Corded saws can be dangerous on such jobs, as the cords get in the way, get tangled in brush, or can trip you up; besides, the further a job is from a 110v receptacle, the more impractical a cord becomes.
- Tool is guaranteed for 5 years, parts and labor. (Register online at Milwaukee dot com.) Batteries are guaranteed for 2 years at full replacement, and prorated for 3 more years.
Summary:
I have to agree with Fine Woodworking's 2008 Tool Guide, which calls Milwaukee's cordless line-up, "the best tools for serious work".

Summary: Awsome
Comment: I am a framing contractor and have 3 framing Crews. We work these tools hard, I love the V28 series so much I have purchased Combo Kits and the impact driver for all my crews, and a set for me. I have had a couble battery go bad, but the warranys are so good it hasnt cost me a dime. I cant beleive they have such good warrantys as hard as construction guys use these toos, they will whereout before the 5 year warrany is up. V28 tools and Max nailers are my favorite tool for work. Battery life lives up to the hippe!

Summary: Great, but room for improvements
Comment: This is the only reciprocating saw I've ever owned, so it's hard for me to compare, but I love this saw! The lithium batteries are great, and they recharge in no time. I went to Home Depot and bought a few different blades for it, and it cuts through just about anything like butter. Plus, it's nice and quiet.
That being said, I do have 2 major beefs:
1) There's no safety on this thing. If you leave the speed switch in the 1 or 2 position and forget to turn it to the Locked position, the saw very easily can accidentally turn on while handling it. Once I was about to switch blades, and my foot or something hit the trigger causing the thing to fire on! Scary! I'm surprised there's no safety switch on the grip to verify that someone is actually holding it when the trigger gets pressed.
2). The thing vibrates like crazy. Using it for just 15 seconds is enough to make your hand have that weird burning sensation like when you come in from the cold and sit next to a fire. The high frequency / powerful vibration of this thing must play havoc with the blood in my extremities. There really should be better anti-vibration designed into this, or at least much better padding on the grips to absorb it. I've never had my hands sting like that after using any power tool.

The Milwaukee Sawzall has been the reciprocating saw of choice for professional contractors since 1951, and that’s not going to change anytime soon. The latest member of the legendary Sawzall line, the new Milwaukee 0719-22 Sawzall V28 Lithium Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit, takes the cutting power, performance and reliability pro users and serious do-it-yourselfers have come to expect from Milwaukee, and combines it with the added bonus of cut-anywhere cordless convenience. The 0719 Sawzall is powered by a 28-volt Lithium-Ion battery that weighs less than a standard 18-volt Ni-Cad battery, yet delivers twice the run time. As a result, you can cut faster and longer with less fatigue and fewer battery changes. The tool weighs just 9.4 pounds with the battery installed. And the batteries are reversible, a feature that’s exclusive to Milwaukee tools. They can slide on from either direction, which allows you to counterbalance the tool’s weight depending on the battery placement. The saw’s variable-speed motor has two speed ranges: 0-2,000 strokes per minute (spm), and 0-3,000 spm, allowing you to choose the most efficient cutting speed for the job. And the tool’s superior 1 1/8-in. blade stroke ensures fast cutting with less motor strain. Other performance-enhancing features found on the 0719 include the Quik-Lok blade clamp for tool-free blade changes, a keyless shoe adjustment, soft-grip handle that dampens fatigue-producing vibration, and a gear-protecting clutch for improved durability. And each battery is equipped with an illuminated "fuel" gauge, so you’ll know when recharging is necessary. When fitted with the appropriate blade, the saw will cut through virtually any building material, including wood, drywall, plaster, asphalt roof shingles, plastic pipe, nail-embedded wood, copper tubing, fiberglass and most metals. A reciprocating saw is an indispensable tool for demolition work, remodeling projects, new-home construction, deck building, plumbing and electrical jobs, and heating and air conditioning installations. --Joseph Truini
