Does the 2719-20 include a battery and charger?

No. It is the bare tool only. You need Milwaukee M18 batteries and a charger, which are sold separately.

What can the Hackzall cut?

It handles pipe, conduit, PVC, copper, framing lumber and plaster. The 7/8-inch stroke and up to 3,000 strokes per minute suit one-handed cuts in tight or overhead spaces.

How does it compare with a full-size recip saw?

It is smaller and lighter for one-handed work in tight spots, but a full-size saw has more power for heavy demolition. Milwaukee rates it faster and longer-lasting than other one-handed saws.

Which batteries does it use?

It runs on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform, so any M18 pack works. Higher-capacity packs give longer runtime.

Is it good for metal cutting?

Yes. The dual-gear counterbalance reduces vibration so the blade bites cleanly in metal instead of skating, and variable speed helps start cuts.

Plumbers, electricians, HVAC techs, remodelers and maintenance crews who already use M18 batteries and cut in places a full-size saw can't reach.

What reviewers say

Owners and reviewers treat the M18 FUEL Hackzall as one of the strongest one-handed recip saws, praising its cut speed and low vibration. The main complaints are that it is sold as a bare tool and that it leans on the M18 battery line.

What people mention

Cut speedPraisedOwners say the long stroke and high stroke rate cut pipe and lumber quickly for a one-handed saw.
VibrationPraisedReviewers report the counterbalance keeps vibration low and blades start cleanly in metal.
SizePraisedUsers like how compact it is for stud bays, ceilings and overhead cuts.
Bare toolCriticisedBuyers note it ships without a battery or charger, so the cost of M18 batteries is on top.

About the Milwaukee 2719-20 M18 FUEL Hackzall

The Milwaukee 2719-20 M18 FUEL Hackzall is a compact, one-handed cordless reciprocating saw. It is designed for cutting pipe, conduit, framing lumber, and plaster in tight or overhead spaces. It is sold as a bare tool, without a battery or charger.

It has a 7/8" stroke length and variable speed up to 3,000 strokes per minute. The POWERSTATE brushless motor drives the blade, and REDLINK PLUS electronics protect against overload, overheating, and over-discharge. A dual gear counterbalance mechanism reduces vibration by up to 4x compared with traditional reciprocating saws. Milwaukee rates the saw at up to 50% faster cuts and up to 3x longer tool life than other one-handed recip saws.

At 14" long, it fits between studs, under sinks, and inside mechanical chases. A pivoting shoe stays in contact with the workpiece during the cut. Blades change without tools. A rubber seal and weep holes help keep water and debris out of the housing. The saw runs on any Milwaukee M18 battery.
