Milwaukee M18 FUEL SAWZALL 2821-22 vs Skil PWRCORE 20V Brushless Reciprocating Saw
The Milwaukee M18 FUEL is the stronger saw: a brushless motor with a 1-1/4 inch stroke, a wear-resistant blade clamp, and a kit with two 5Ah batteries and a charger. The Skil PWRCORE 20V is lighter and adds orbital and linear modes plus a counterweight gearbox that cuts vibration, and owners say it holds up on fence posts and demolition. Buy the Milwaukee for daily jobsite work and heavy metal or demolition cutting; buy the Skil for occasional home and yard work where lower weight and smoother vibration matter more than raw power.
- Choose the Milwaukee M18 FUEL if you cut every day, work thick metal or demolition, and want two batteries and a case in the kit.
- Choose the Skil PWRCORE 20V if you want a lighter saw with orbital mode and low vibration for fence posts, pruning and weekend projects.
