Milwaukee SAWZALL in 2008
Welcome to Tech Transformation, a new feature showcasing the evolution of a technology or product over time. We start with Milwaukee Tool’s SAWZALL. Over the past 20 years, Milwaukee Tool has significantly advanced the SAWZALL®, a product that has set industry standards since its invention nearly 75 years ago. At the turn of the millennium, Milwaukee® introduced the world’s first cordless SAWZALL® that could compete with its legendary corded counterpart, allowing professionals to cut the cord for the first time. Powering the 0719 model was the 28 Volt LITHIUM-ION battery pack, exclusively from Milwaukee, which marked a revolutionary leap in cordless tool technology at the time.
Today’s M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® Recip Saw, Gen 2, w/One-Key
Milwaukee set out to change the lives of users introducing the M18™ cordless system and made a commitment that they continue to deliver on to this day: Milwaukee would continue to invest in new technology without the need for users to change platforms. This innovation paved the way for the game-changing M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL®.
Since then, Milwaukee has continued to push the boundaries of performance and reliability. The current M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® Recip Saw w/ ONE-KEY™ (2822-22) now boasts fastest cutting in class, improved durability, and lightweight designs for reduced fatigue. Leveraging a POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor, this newest generation provides 3,000 SPM and a 1-¼” stroke length for faster material.
The gear-protecting clutch further enhances durability by safeguarding against impact, upholding the legendary SAWZALL® reputation. Additionally, the introduction of ONE KEY™ tracking technology and slider crank mechanism upgrades ensure that the SAWZALL® remains a leader in the industry, continually meeting the evolving needs of professionals.
