SetBuilder Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I have a bunch of M18 tools and I'm looking to add a sawzall and grinder to the mix. I have a one key 1/4 impact driver and to be honest I never play with the app, so the features may be lost on me. Home depot has a Fuel sawzall and grinder plus 2 5amp batteries for 418.00. I'm thinking about getting it, But will prices drop once once the one key stuff comes out in 2 weeks? http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-4-1-2-in-5-in-Braking-Grinder-and-M18-FUEL-SAWZALL-Reciprocating-Saw-with-Free-M18-5-0-XC-Battery-2-Pack-2783-20-2720-20-48-11-1852/207126723?gclid=CjwKEAjwvb2_BRCb_s7Yo7_ZlHASJABz6L0j44J1hEfnN4-FKTYqJqvJcdH_MtbYsZoJrN1GQf5KLRoCrbzw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds Thoughts?

Bremon Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Prices stay the same. One key is another tier above that price wise. $50 per tool usually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 They're selling a sawzall and two batteries with a grinder, circ saw, hole hawg, or impact wrench so I would say that is the price drop. If you don't bother with settings on the impact the one-key sawzall will almost certainly be lost on you. The main features are just soft start, speed control, and auto stop when you finish a cut--far less than the impact--so it will probably be lost on you. Edit: Looks like the onekey sawzall is already up on home depot http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-18-Volt-FUEL-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-Cordless-Sawzall-Reciprocating-Saw-with-ONE-KEY-Tool-Only-2721-20/300185284 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Only advantage I see to the one key sawzall is if you cut a lot of metalSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 If One Key was a cheaper upgrade per tool I could be persuaded but the compact impacts, for example, have a 33% premium for it. No thanks. That's money that could be spent on other tools. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildroamer Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 One Key was such a pain in my ass that I got rid of the Fuel tools, and went with another brand. Others jave had better luck. One thing I don't like, is that on some tools One Key is the only way to make certain adjustments. I'd skip it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lunicy Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 It doesn't seem as if One Key would matter to you. I think One key was a poor idea for Milwaukee, and I am a Milwaukee fanboy. I just don't see anyone who wants or needs it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 I use one-key settings all the time especially with small fasteners more so with the impact driver over the drill though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnarlyCarl Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 One key is awesome! I can already tell those among us who haven't used it or had good luck with it, sorry @wildroamer your experience had to be the exact opposite of mine. I'm getting the one key sawzall one way or another, I cut a bit of metal pipe and have had to spend a minute or so holding the trigger halfway and it would be brilliant to have up tool do that for me... Plus the auto stop is a huge safety advantage which I hope will be helpful if the blade jumps in a binding situation, and will stop the blade, that's my theory anyways 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 What I want on my No-Key tools is the safety clutch on the drill and the cut brake on the Sawzall. I don't want to screw around with settings, I just want improved standard features. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to swing by again but I want to say that they were down to like 179. If I hadn't just bought a Fuel last BF, I'd have picked one up, but I certainly don't need two.

I agree with wanting the safety features, cranking it up to 11 and won't really mess with the settings afterward. Sure it will cut faster if I adjust for every material but meh.

Eric - TIA Posted October 3, 2016 Report Share Posted October 3, 2016 I like the safety features, but One Key doesn't even work for me since I have the old phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I want the OneKey sawzall to do the work for me, I want peace of mind that the blade will stop when I'm through cutting, I want it and I know from my experience with OneKey on my drill and impact, it's an incredible tool to have on my side. HERE'S WHY: .. This picture doesn't show my cramped position as I lay on the crawlspace floor, with barely enough leverage to pull the sawzall through the pipe.... I wondered to myself if a cast breaker would work better, but there's not enough room for that, and would require even more effort... There's so many tight spaces I need the sawzall for this very task, the only thing I want to have to think about is applying force on the saw. Not worrying about it cutting into something as it breaks through the other side, not having to worry about if i'm holding the speed just right for this type of pipe, it's huge, I for one, am very accepting of new technology. Also I like the added security of being able to track its whereabouts if need be, that sounds very appealing too 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 I agree with you Knarly, it's the price premium that gets me. If it was less of a premium I'd be tempted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeffmcmillan Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Leave it to Knarly to find a situation where one-key is practically required. Looks like you need bucking spikes more than one-key. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jronman Posted October 12, 2016 Report Share Posted October 12, 2016 The one key reciprocating saw seems like a step above the rest of the one key lineup. It cuts faster when set to desired material setting and extends life of the blade saving time and money. Also you can easily toggle between up to four custom performance profiles that can be saved to the memory of the tool. Once you set each of the profiles you don't need the app which saves time. I see the $50 premium as worth it for even the average tradesman. Before the one key recip saw I really only saw the drill and impact being marketed for the guy putting the same screws in the same material all day or doing the same task all day. I wonder if the average guy would see benefit from the drill and impact because you can set each of the 4 presets with their own custom settings and then forget about the app once the settings are saved in the tool.

pancing Posted October 13, 2016 Report Share Posted October 13, 2016 The question is this, if you already have a fuel sawzall, would you fork out more money for the one key version? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would but that's more of an issue of me being a whore for anything colored red. All jokes and brand humping aside the Sawzall seems to the the most interesting OneKey saw yet. Milwaukee could do something similar with the a OneKey circular saw cut the rpm's increase the torque for carbide metal cutting blades.
