Ridgeline17 Posted April 25, 2019 Report Share Posted April 25, 2019 Bought hammer/drill & impact with free sawzall March2015. Saw had switch handle kit and barrel cam replaced at Aug2017. I had trouble replacing blades after repair. Finally, sent to repair and Milwaukee said it is normal wear. A 72 year old can wear out the blade release in 12 months (stuff in storage 8months). This is bull. The repair disassembled it and as per OSHA will not put it back together. I had a working saw just trouble replacing blades; now I will have pieces. The saw never once stopped cutting when I think back it should have went into over temperature. I rate the blade release very poor design hence if one includes the sawzall in a tools kit do not buy Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridgeline17 Posted May 27, 2020 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2020 Ridgeline17 is now 74 years old. I retired the old SawzAll and bought the Super. Looking to test out the better sawzall. I believe the vibration caused connections to battery to wear and cause intermittent stopping. I used 2 4AH batteries & 1 worked, 1 did not both charged OK? Then later batteries reversed problem! Sawzall had other problems so I concluded it is worn out and time to get the Super. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
