Product Description
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
Milwaukee 0719-22 V28 Sawzall Lithium Ion Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit Review
I own two Milwaukee corded sawzalls and their main use is for heavy demolition. We have five sawzalls (all Milwaukee) within our crew all together and they're all handled pretty roughly, yet they last though whatever you throw at them. I was pretty uneasy about the idea of a cordless sawzall back when the 18v was the most powerful cordless available... I doubted it could ever keep up with a corded sawzall.When Milwaukee came out with their V28 line, I purchased the hammer drill and was outright shocked at how much more powerful it was then the 18v I had. After a month of use, I decided the pick up the V28 sawzall too. The very first day, I knew I had a winner. Although when cutting out old, extra-thick studs, you can feel a difference in power between the corded and cordless, the V28 sawzall definitely held its own and didn't lock up once. Just before lunch, I was cutting through a pipe and the sawzall seemed to suddenly die. At first, I thought I broke the thing, but quickly realized that the battery charge ran out. When they say that the power lasts until the very last minute, they REALLY mean it.
Another thing I love about the V28 line is the battery charge meter. I find it very useful to be able to take a quick look and find which of my batteries could use a charge, rather then finding out when you need them. It's a feature I'm finding more and more useful.
The only disappointment is the case that comes with the kit... it'll hold a third battery if you were to purchase one, but it doesn't have enough room between everything to hold extra blades. The compartment they have in the case is about half the size of the one in the corded sawzall case I have, so I can carry less blades. I wish they would go back to the metal cases, but since that's unlikely, all I can hope for is that they'll work more room into the cases for extra accessories.
The sawzall is one of my most used tools, particularly when first starting a job when demolition is most needed. Being free from the cord outshines the power difference that the corded models have over the V28 sawzall. Although I won't be getting rid of my corded sawzalls yet, the V28 certainly is, and will continue to be, my top choice. I think Milwaukee finally got them to the point where their shortcomings will be completely overlooked and a cordless sawzall will be as common as the cordless drill.
UPDATE: I've been using this on the job for well over a year now and it has seated itself as one of the most important tools on site. Unless a second sawzall is needed, the corded sawzalls aren't even unloaded from the trucks anymore. It has more then enough power to tackle ANY job we've needed it for... only slightly outpowered by the 11-amp models, but clearly more powerful then the 6-amp models. The fact that we can move around without being tethered down by a cord has made this everyone's favorite.
It's absorbed drops from as high as 10 feet onto plywood flooring without skipping a beat, and there's been no noticeable decline in performance from the batteries (comparing them to a battery I just recently bought). I still don't like the case though.
I highly recommend this tool to anyone needing a sawzall for professional use.
