 Hackzall, great investment for light duty work. November 1, 2009
RajKelus (Pittsburgh, PA)
The Hackzall is the compact, light duty little brother of the Sawzall. It has an impressive amount of power for something with only 12V. Its a very durable device that I've dropped a number of times and it still kept on running. I'm a big fan of this tool but if you are looking to prune branches, cut through any wood more than 1.5 inches thick or cut large radius PVC stick with the Sawzall. Its very precise if you need to cut a circle out of a piece of sheet rock. It has a variable speed trigger, a power indicator, an LED light and a comfortable grip. Its about 3 pounds which makes it very easy to handle.
I use this tool mostly to cut down dowels and it does a great job. Where ever you need to work in a tight space or a need another free hand this will do the job. I suggest you buy this IN ADDITION to the Sawzall for the most versatility.
 Don't bother buying this one September 23, 2009

I'm a plumbing contractor and use sawzall's almost every day. I bought the hackzall less than 2 months ago. I liked it at first but then started to notice the battery life was bad, the batteries would not hold a charge. I would charge them one day, try using it two days later and they are both dead. They drain very quickly and they do not hold a charge for very long while using it.
Now.... one of my batteries is blinking in the charger with both red and green meaning the battery is toast, great. Not even two months old.
Now... using the other battery the tool seized up and will not operate and started smoking.
Maybe a good deal for the do it yourselfer but this tool is not for professional contractors, don't even waste your time. It's nothing more than just a toy. I'll stick with my regular cordless Dewalt for now on, I should have known better.
I tried calling Milwaukee but they kept sending me to one of their useless service centers that won't help me. I'm done wasting my time. Throwing it in the garbage and will write it up as a loss.

I have had this l2V Milwaukee Sawzall for approximately l l/2 yrs
It is good for tight places; however, that is about it!
The battery doesn't last long and it want saw at all unless the object is pushed hard against the plate
Milwaukee has good products < this is just not the one for me
 Another Milwaukee M12 Winner August 31, 2009
Brian J. Buehler (Michigan, USA)
I purchased the M12 Hackzall to be part of my easy-to-carry toolkit along with a couple other M12 tools. The Hackzall is slightly disappointing in compared to the others in terms of build quality (fit & finish). The quality is passable but not nearly the same perfection as the M12 drill that I have. This fit & finish issue is the only reason for me to take one star off the review.
Several other reviewers have noted that the Hackzall vibrates. It does. Quite a bit compared to bigger Milwaukee Sawzalls. After giving the vibration some thought, I realized that there are probably two solid reasons for this design choice (to not include a counterbalance weight). First, it would add to the size and weight of what is supposed to be a one-hand use saw. Second, counterbalance mechanisms sap power. Given the choice of longer run time or a bit of vibration, it seems that Milwaukee made the right choice. If you want cordless with vibration damping, get one of the M18 Sawzalls.
In the end, the M12 Hackzall is a great tool for it's intended use: one hand cutting in cramped quarters. It also makes a great compact cutting tool for the do-all tool bag that I take to friends and relatives when I'm wearing my handy-man hat.
My new favorite tool... August 18, 2009
T Boyer (Seattle)
Incredible -- a fully capable recip saw that is slightly bigger than a cordless screwdriver. I can't tell you how useful it is to be able to fit this blade into tight spots to cut nails etc. And it fits regular Sawzall blades as well as smaller blades of its own. You can get fine toothed blades and it's almost like having a nimble hand held saber saw. Just a fantastic invention -- we find new uses for it on every job.
It lets you be more surgical than a full size recip saw. We recently had to reinstall kitchen cabinets without destroying them and we couldn't have done it without the Hackzall.
***** One important point. If you're buying the Hackzall, you need a second battery because in hard use the battery will run out in maybe 30-45 minutes of hard use. Fortunately the batteries charge in 20 minutes, so if you have a spare, you will never be without power.
The really cool thing is -- instead of buying an extra battery, buy the Hackzall in the kit with the 12 volt Milwaukee driver (which is also a wonderful tool.) You get the two tools and batteries for LESS than the price of the Hackzall with an extra battery.
