Our take on the Milwaukee M18 FUEL Gen-2 Sawzall Reciprocating Saw

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL Gen-2 Sawzall is a cordless reciprocating saw built on Milwaukee's brushless FUEL platform, with a 3,000 rpm stroke speed and a counterbalance mechanism to cut vibration. It uses the lever-action Quik-Lok blade clamp for fast blade swaps and an adjustable shoe for depth control. This is a bare tool: no battery, charger or blade in the box, so you need an existing M18 pack. At $149.95 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it sits at the low end of what this saw has sold for recently, making it a solid buy if you already own M18 batteries.

Questions and answers

Is the M18 FUEL Sawzall worth it over the older model?
The Gen-2 adds the counterbalance system and faster blade changes, which most trade users notice on long cuts. If you already own the first-gen and it works, the upgrade is modest; if you are buying new, the Gen-2 is the better saw.
Does it come with a battery or blade?
No. It is a bare tool, so no battery, charger or blade is included. You need an M18 pack and a reciprocating blade to use it.
How does it compare with the M18 Hackzall?
The Sawzall is longer and heavier but delivers longer strokes and more power for demolition and pipe cutting. The Hackzall is one-handed and better for overhead or tight work.
Is $149.95 a good price?
At $149.95 at eBay as of November 4, 2026, it is at the low end of its recent range across the three stores listing it new. Factor in the cost of a battery if you do not own M18 packs.
What blades does it take?
It uses standard reciprocating saw blades with a 1/2-inch shank, loaded through the Quik-Lok clamp. Pick blade tooth count for the material: coarse for wood, fine for metal.
When is it cheapest?
Bare-tool prices tend to dip during Milwaukee promotions and holiday sales. Watch the price history and buy when it drops below the typical street price.
