Product Review
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
Manufacturer Description
The Hatchet was built for tight spaces. Milwaukee has once again taken reciprocating saws to a new level with this tool. The Hatchet features a six position pivoting handle, making it the most compact reciprocating saw on the market. Only 13 inches when fully pivoted, the Hatchet easily fits between 16-inch on center studs and between rafters and joists. This tool is designed to get into those confined areas that no other saw can reach, corded or cordless! It is the ONLY cordless reciprocating saw to feature orbital action, perfect for aggressive wood cutting, or simply switch it into straight reciprocating action for cutting metals and plastics. The high torque required for tough cutting applications is supplied by the Milwaukee built, rare-earth, permanent magnet motor. Producing an impressive 2,700 strokes per minute, the Hatchet cuts up to 85 2-by-4's on a single charge! The Milwaukee exclusive reversible battery pack, together with a keyless adjustable shoe and 3/4-inch stroke length, makes the Hatchet the ultimate tool for remodeling, general construction, and demolition work. The steel Quik-Lok blade clamp accepts universal 1/2-inch shank Sawzall blades without the need of a hex key. Blade clamp will accept blades upside down for close quarter cutting. The Hatchet is an essential tool for HVAC contractors, plumbers, electricians, maintenance workers, and remodelers. Sold as tool only, without battery.
Customer Reviews & Comments
I just finished gutting a garage for a renovation and wanted to put this tool to the test...it passed with flying colors. Ripping through studs and rafters, NO problem. Sawing through an 1 1/4" solid wood exterior wall for a door opening, NO problem. Sawing through a double 2 x 12 header beam, NO problem. Cuts right through heavy duty mild steel 1/8" easily. The adjustable handle is great when up on a scaffolding or working down near the floor...and the reversible 18 volt battery is another great feature. Lightweight, but has all the power of a corded tool in my opinion. The orbital action is another nice feature...and it does speed up rough rip cuts when neatness doesn't count. This is the 1st time I've used a quick blade holder on a sawzall, and it is one of the best features going. I also recommend the blade kit...very nice to have. Changing blades has always been one of the worst and slowest parts of using a sawzall...now it's not even an issue. FWIW, I also have an 18 Volt 1/2" Lok-Tor Driver/Drill Kit so I just use my battery charger and 2 batteries for both tools. You will definitely need 2 batteries with this tool. After about 8-9' of continuous cutting through a solid wood 1 1/4" thick wall and 7-8 studs, the battery needed to be swapped out, but had to cool down for a few minutes before accepting a charge. I'm not sure it's even an issue, and the charger gave me the heads up signal that the battery was too hot, so I set it aside for a couple minutes, then charged it right up no problem. Regardless, you will get a lot of cut time on one battery, and a lot of power too. I can't imagine a situation where you would be slowed down as long as you have two batteries. These tools are tough as nails too. One night after a long night of overhead work I was tired and fed up, so I threw my new 18" drill from 10' up on a ladder down to my concrete shop floor to see what it was really made of, and it took the hit with nothing but a scuff to the body. I've owned alot of Milwaukee tools over the years, and still do. This and my new 1/2" drill are by far the best. Well worth it and a great deal. Both feel great, good balance, and work great, period. I've read a lot of reviews on this site when buying tools,and many have been very helpful, so I've decided to return the favor to hopefully help someone out. I'm a coppersmith who started out as a roofing contractor, and have been working in the renovation and building trades for 26 years. and have been been in business since 1986.
