Do any of you have a Milwaukee Hackzall ? That one hand operaton sounds good for small stuff. Any problems ?
 
I have one at work, great for fast cuts. It goes through batteries fast if you get into heavy cutting though . I used 3 batteries to cut a faucet off a sink not long ago . Overall it is worth while tool to have.

You can get a battery that has double the power. The batteries will power many of the Milwaukee tools like my drill/driver.
 
We use the hackzall and drills or impact driver that match for light tools for the Radio guy to carry on his cart the bigger battery kind of defeats that purpose. We have 18 volt milwaukee and dewalt tools that the guys doing bigger projects use. we rotate doing radio calls monthly . Radio man fixes dripping faucets unclogs sinks and toilets fixes med gas outlets etc . If you don't think you can fix it in an hour you hand it off to the routine guys. Work buys tools so with in reason, it is buy what you need to get the job done most of the time . Once in a while it is we don't care what it cost fix it NOW!!!!!!!!!!!

No experience with the Hackzall, but I generally despise battery-powered tools. :thumbdn:

A corded reciprocating saw from DeWalt costs less, lasts longer, and works better.

If you're going to use it every day and it's a tax write-off from your job, a Milwaukee corded Sawzall is even better than DeWalt but costs more. Makita power tools are probably in-between DeWalt and Milwaukee. Any of the three are better than battery tools.

If I were to buy battery-powered tools, I would only consider 18v models. That's the conclusion I've reached after years of buying and using battery-powered tools on the job.
