Well the fuel 6 1/2 is a beast and realistically you will be cutting 2by material most of the time which it does with ease so the extra money for the 7 1/4 and the fact the the blade is on the right side is a pain if your right handed and use to using a worm drive.The fact the you can get blades cheaper for 7 1/4 is a small factor but the compact size of the 6 1/2 makes it even out.Also if you are already building a milwaukee too line then i would say go with the 2730-22 cause then you get the charger and the two 4.0s and you can buy it for around 369.99 definately worth every penny. M18 fuel 6 1/2 with a diablo blade and 4.0 will always be pleased especially if you in a roof or remote location. just my 0.02

yeah really the small things have jumped up in price and its just a waste of money to buy anything from the states but still you can get the odd crazy deal at bc fastners or the random small tool stores around usually milwaukee has all there deals around march and april so start saving and start checking every couple days at your local stores

hi comp did u end up buying two of those m12 impacts they were clearing them out at alot of the depots for 99$ missed them but man was that a good deal wanna part with one ??

i dont avoid other tool brand when it come to tools i do my research and figure out which is the best. i have mostly milwaukee cordless tools because i started into the m18 and m12 lines and have had no reason to change over I LOVE MY RED TOOLS. I have bosch Table saw, Bosch laminate trimmer and other random tools from the varying brands but i just want milwaukee to update their older corded and pneumatic tools to keep up with the rest of their competitors. I know TTI has ridgid and ryobi going nuts with their nailers and compressors and more carpentry based tools so why not step it up a notch and bring milwaukee name back onto the rough carpentry market cause now when ur on a site framing the only red you see is the sawzalls and the rest is conquered by hitachi paslode Skil dewalt, nailers and saws.

Hi i am a carpenter by trade and i love my milwaukee tools and i swear by them i just want them to branch out alittle more. Right now MILWAUKEE core trades are electricians and plumbers hvac. which is fine i just want them to re establish themselves into the carpentry/framing section. I NEED THEIR DISRUPTIVE INNOVATION to make the tools i use everyday as great as i know they can. they have their old worm drive saws, framing nailers, roofing nailers, brad nailers, staplers, routers , belt sanders etc but i dont know about the states but i cant get anything like that up here in the great white north and i know it is all outdated. So i am hoping thats milwaukee puts some time in and makes some NEW AND IMPROVED. Wish List COIL/ STICK FRAMING NAILERS ROOFING NAILER PLANER NEW ROUTER NEW MINI ROUTER/TRIMER STAPLE GUNS/ BRAD NAILERS BASICALLY I WANT ALL NEW WOODWORKING TOOLS PLEASE AND THANKYOU. Do you guys think this will ever happen and if ANYONE HAS EXPERIENCE WITH THE OLD PNEUMATIC MILWAUKEE TOOLS HOW ARE THEY CAUSE IF THEY ARE WORTH IT I CAN MAKE A TRIP SOUTH OF THE BORDER TO GET THEM?

Well up here in the great white north that saw is one of milwaukee's best selling products at home depot and any milwaukee service center can easily fix them or has the parts. the accuracy of the digital is great but it also has old school marking for you to go by and the stand it comes with is easily to set up and take down. only thing is its a big saw so it takes up space and is fairly heavy. All my experience has been great i love this saw but hoping they come up with a new version sometime in 2015

the only thing that sucks is that i normally use a wormdrive when working and the blade is on the left side and i am right handed so i have perfect veiw of the blade all the time and the 6 1/2 fuel circular saw is the same way which i love but now they changed it so it back on the right side like a regular sidewinder gonna take a while getting useto it if i end up using it often!! they should just make it a option which side u want the blade on would be fairly easy for them and also better for the customer!!!

thanks for the input guys i might just wait till christmas time deals and see what happens and the local hardware store is have a milwaukee innovation day so there is bound to be some killer deals there i will keep u updated.

Milwaukee also has the new high speed charger for the m12 and m18 battery 3 of each and chargers 3 at at time the old charger takes 360 minutes to charge 6 3ah batteries the new one takes 72minutes to charge 6 3ah batteries they definately can charge the bigger batteries faster and more effeciently if they can do that they probably just holding out on us until the 5ah and 6ah are more popular

they are definitely available so they should be shipped out now hopefully u get them asap but i am sure they are worth the wait cause up here in canada we wait twice as long as the states and its always worth it

I am in the market for a new jig saw and i have the m18 line already i am a milwaukee nut. so i am obviously getting a milwaukee one but i was wondering do you guys think i should wait and hope they come out with a FUEL version in the next year or should i just buy it now. I can buy it this week for 199.99 plus tax with two 4amp hour batteries and the new dual charger that comes with the newer sets? should i do it ?

milwaukee dosen't make these its a guy up here in canada who made it for himself milwaukee didn't give him one or sell them hes just dedicated to the brand lmao but its completely bad ass

buy 25ft milwaukee tape measure get a 16ft free buy milwaukee chop saw get stand and free m12 drill driver and alot of regular m12 and m18 brushed tools on clearance for the new brushless stuff in canada right now mabe states to not to sure but still some good deals for a big box store

yeah its never in the box stores up here only independent tool and supply stores m18 fuel all the way

the trade in is going on in canada right now at the non big box stores 100.00 off different kits depending on store pretty sick deal but only for m18 no m12 stuff
