The Milwaukee M18 FUEL platform, powered by the REDLITHIUM™ XC battery, is one of the top cordless systems for professionals who need durable, high-performance 18V tools. Now the legendary SAWZALL® recip saw is available in a cordless M18 FUEL version that delivers power and performance comparable to many corded models.
“Milwaukee invented the recip saw in 1951, and the SAWZALL® has led the industry in both durability and performance for over 60 years,” says Christian Coulis, Director of Marketing for Milwaukee Tool Corporation. “With the renowned reputation and history of the SAWZALL, coupled with Milwaukee’s expertise and leadership in cordless technology, we are very proud to deliver a new SAWZALL that will truly be a game changer for the industry.”
Engineered for demanding tradespeople, the M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® combines three Milwaukee-exclusive technologies: the POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM™ XC4.0 battery pack, and REDLINK PLUS™ intelligence hardware and software. Together these innovations deliver industry-leading power, runtime, and durability in a compact, lightweight package.
The POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor is built by Milwaukee to provide longer life, greater efficiency, and more consistent power. Its design reduces vibration and heat, eliminates wearable components, and enables the M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® to cut up to 30% faster than comparable tools while delivering corded-level performance.
REDLINK PLUS™ Intelligence is a comprehensive electronic communication system that links the tool, battery, and charger. It prevents overloads, overheating, and over-discharging, maintaining optimal conditions for peak performance and protecting components during heavy use.
Milwaukee REDLITHIUM™ XC4.0 batteries offer up to twice the runtime and more recharge cycles than standard lithium-ion packs. They run cooler, operate reliably in extreme conditions down to -18°C (0°F), and provide fade-free power throughout the charge. An integrated fuel gauge shows remaining charge so users can plan jobs with less downtime.
The M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® also incorporates Milwaukee’s patented gear-protecting clutch and mechanism, a hallmark of the corded SAWZALL® that contributes to its legendary durability. Combined with the POWERSTATE motor and REDLINK PLUS electronics, the new cordless model delivers up to five times longer life than comparable units on the market.
Practical features round out the tool: an adjustable shoe for controlled cutting, an integrated LED light to illuminate the cut line, and a hang hook for convenient storage on the jobsite. All M18 FUEL™ products ship with a new multi-voltage charger capable of charging both M12™ and M18™ batteries with a single charger, simplifying logistics for crews using both platforms.
Introduced in October 2013, the M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® Reciprocating Saw underscores Milwaukee’s commitment to user-focused design and investment in breakthrough cordless technology. The cordless SAWZALL® brings the durability and cutting power professionals expect from the SAWZALL legacy while offering the freedom and convenience of battery operation.
