Milwaukee M18 FUEL SAWZALL 2821-22 vs Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Recip Saw Kit

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL SAWZALL is the heavier-duty saw: a 1-1/4 inch stroke, a full-size body and two 5Ah batteries make it the pick for demolition, plumbing and framing. The Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP is a compact one-handed saw with a 7/8 inch stroke, orbital action and a 2Ah battery, so it suits overhead work, tight spaces and light remodeling. Reviewers rate both 4.8, but owners of the Milwaukee praise its power and durability on tough jobs, while Ryobi owners like the light weight and the wide ONE+ battery system.

• Choose the Milwaukee M18 FUEL SAWZALL if you cut pipe, studs and demolition material all day and want maximum power, a long stroke and two larger batteries in the kit.
• Choose the Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP if you want a light one-handed saw for overhead and tight cuts and already own or plan to buy into the ONE+ battery system.
