Editorial Reviews:

Anyone who has tried working with a Sawzall in cramped quarters and making cuts in confined spaces will appreciate the Hatchet's multiposition folding handle, which reduces the tool's length to a mere 13 inches. While this is a truly innovative design for a reciprocating saw, the fact that this is also the first cordless Sawzall with a vibration-reducing counterbalance mechanism should not be overlooked. This is a feature many of us have been waiting to see in the cordless Sawzall, and it is especially appreciated in uncomfortably close quarters, where any extra vibration and shock just makes your job more difficult. The Hatchet also has a different trigger configuration than other reciprocating saws. When the handle is folded, it feels like a cordless-drill grip and trigger, and when the saw is extended to its full length, it feels like the barrel grips found on grinders. This trigger setup is great when the handle is folded, but not as ideal when the tool is at its full length and being used like a traditional Sawzall. As with Milwaukee's other Sawzalls, this one features the excellent tool-free blade-changing system that reverses the blade when needed, and it has a fully adjustable pivoting shoe. The Hatchet's tough motor provides 2,700 strokes per minute, comparable to other top-of-the-line cordless reciprocating saws, and the tool uses the same reversible 18-volt Power Plus battery as other Milwaukee cordless tools. This model comes with the tool only, so if you don't already use Milwaukee's Power Plus tools, you'll need to buy a battery separately. For remodelers, plumbers, and electricians, we think there's no better cordless reciprocating saw available. --Brian Trinen

User Comments about the Bare Tool Milwaukee 6514-20 The Hatchet 18-Volt Ni-Cad Cordless Reciprocating Saw with Pivoting Handle (Tool Only, no Battery)

Its reciprocating mechanism is smooth, the variable speed is precise and its weight and folding design make it a very comfortable tool to use. After three years, I can say that I've NEVER been in a situation that it couldn't handle (I don't do heavy demolition work). I just purchased a second one to have in reserve since Milwaukee stopped making this saw. It cuts slightly slower than some other brands due to a lower motor speed, but it vibrates your hands a lot less as well and is much quieter. As an electrician, I use my Hatchet almost daily on wood, metal and masonry. I've compared it to the corded version, and it looks like they are basically the same tool. What a pity. I've used reciprocal saws from other producers but have yet to find one as comfortable to use as the Hatchet.

This is a great tool. I don't know and don't even care where it is made, it just plain works.This is a great tool. I ordered a Milwaukee metal cutting circular saw from an Amazon vendor to use to help clean up the mess. O.K. It cuts at full power until the battery is empty and then it just stops.

It truly earns its "Milwaukee" brand name. It is precise and easy to handle, the orbital/straight action switch is a plus, it is light weight and the folding adjustable handle makes every cut perfect. Of course in that condition it was useless to me, so I got out "The Hatchet" installed a 10" "Bosch metal cutting blade" and attacked the debris pile. When I find a deal on one and it fills a gap in a "set" like Milwaukee, Dewalt or Makita, I have to have it. I love it.

(you can look at my other reviews to get that story.not good) They shipped it to me without the blade. I weigh 220# and lean on this thing to hog out a lot of material and I don't slow it down. It also cut the remains of the 4 x 6 pressure treated posts to eliminate the "Stonehenge" architecture that was left. I like tools and I suffer from excessive compulsive behavior.

I pop in another battery and away we go again. so I am a sick puppy but hey, it's harmless enough and until recently I could afford it.The Milwaukee cordless hatchet is the first tool I reach for when I need a Sawsall. I don't even know how many cordless reciprocating saws I have, probably 10 or 15.

My 34 x 52 pole barn recently burned down and I needed to cut up a large amount of sheet metal from the roof and side walls. It just doesn't get any better than this, or at least I have not found a saw better than this yet. It is easy to control and has the power to use the thick "demolition" blades when needed, but can do precision cuts with thinner blades in delicate situations.

It does an amazing amount of work on a battery charge. It doesn't matter if I already have 10 of them in other brands and configurations. This saw is amazing, with the 10" Bosch metal cutting blade it cut through the sheet metal like a hot knife through butter.

I use it with my 18 Volt Lithium Ion Batteries and I am constantly amazed at the work it does.

They're famous for a reason. Nobody every asks for a "reciprocating construction saw" -- they ask for a Sawzall. Neglecting the fact that it's a much more convenient term, you have to realize that the Milwaukee name has been synonymous with these tools for longer than I want to admit knowing about them, and I've *never* used one in a situation where the convenience of cordless operation would outweigh the need for a REAL power tool. Cheaper too. Get a Sawzall, or if 11 amps isn't good enough the 13-amp Super Sawzall.

igive this saw a 10 out of a ten It does everything I wanted it to do when I purchased it, Power, ease of use, and the ease of changig blades, a little heavy, but ,hey if thats what it takes to do the job I love ti

Do a search under the replacement batteries on Amazon and read the reviews. I just want to say that you WILL NEED 2 batteries. I generally agree with first review. If you are buying the tool for home use and will not be using it daily, be sure to cycle the batteries anyway. Pluswise, this thing is handy around the house and at the local pick a part.BTW: milwaukee sux The battery voltage can drop so low the charger will no longer charge it - battery spent.
