Which is better for cutting metal?

The Milwaukee. Its 1-1/4 in stroke, 3,000 SPM and anti-vibration system make faster, cleaner cuts in pipe and studs. The DeWalt is fine for light metal work but slower.

Which is better for tight spaces?

The DeWalt. At 5 lbs with a compact straight body and a 4-position blade clamp, it reaches into spaces the 7.4 lb Milwaukee cannot.

Is the Milwaukee worth the extra money?

No Milwaukee price was given, so compare at checkout. If the gap is small, the faster cut and lower vibration justify it for daily use. For occasional work, the DeWalt at $199.00 at Amazon as of November 5, 2026 may be enough.

Do either include a battery?

No. Both are tool-only. The DeWalt uses 20V MAX batteries and the Milwaukee uses M18 batteries, so you need the matching platform.

The Milwaukee lists a wear-resistant blade change, anti-corrosion clamp and metal-reinforced battery rails, which point to longer life under heavy use. The DeWalt carries a 3-year limited warranty.

Which is lighter to use overhead?

The DeWalt at 5 lbs. The Milwaukee weighs 7.4 lbs, which tires your arms faster when cutting above your head.
