Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER SAWZALL vs Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Brushless Recip Saw Kit

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER SAWZALL is the heavy-duty pick: a 15A-class brushless motor, a 1-1/4 inch stroke, an adjustable shoe, an anti-vibration system and an electric brake, and it is rated 4.9 from 683 owners. The Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Compact is the lighter, one-handed saw at about 7 lb with a 7/8 inch stroke, orbital action, a pivoting non-marring shoe and an LED light, rated 4.8 from 212 ratings. Buy the Milwaukee for demolition, thick timber and daily trade work; buy the Ryobi for overhead cuts, tight spaces and occasional jobs.

• Choose the Milwaukee SUPER SAWZALL if you cut thick lumber, pipe and demolition debris regularly and want corded-saw power without a cord.
• Choose the Ryobi 18V ONE+ HP Compact if you want a light one-handed saw for overhead work, tight spots and general home repairs.
