jrsalas Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Ive had porter cable and dewalt(both good but not great), but this super sawzall has taken a beat down and still going strong 6 years later. Pros:I love the detachable cord, smooth cutting, super strong and 360 swivel handle with variable speed. Cons: the blade holding chuck gets jammed from time time and need to pull out the pliers/lube to release the blade. My newest addition(just picked it up over the weekend) the sawzall fuel. Pros: strong smooth cutting, great ergonomics, quick blade chage latch, light and cordless. Cons: none Well thats my 2 cents. I vote for the sawzall all the way.

HiltiWpg Posted April 12, 2016 Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 Try the Hilti. Not just fanboy stuff, but they have a 20 year warranty. The Hilti recip is a beast. They don't look as pretty as the others but holy crap do they work. Head to a Hilti store and try it out, it's only a little of your time to find out. I had the M18 Fuel recip before I switched to Hilti cordless. The Hilti is built to be beaten up on. Although the Milwaukee is brushless, you would never notice that the Hilti is not. The Hilti corded are nothing short of bulletproof. We have 2x Hilti corded, one Dewalt and one Milwaukee. The Dewalt isn't even a contender sadly. The Milwaukee is very good, but for the money, Hilti has better performance and warranty. They have a one day turnaround, 20 year warranty. Here in Canada, the Hilti retails for the exact same price as the Super Sawzall, making it a no brainier for us. The chuck is tight, easy to change and the shoe has much better spring/shock absorption than the Milwaukee. Grip is pretty much the same, comfort too, neither one is better in that regard. The Hilti may be slightly more comfortable if you don't have huge hands. Just my $.02 if you want to buy a tank with a killer warranty.

According to their warranty page, the corded and cordless versions have what I guess is a lifetime warranty with any batteries having a 2 year warranty. Quote Hilti warrants that the tool supplied is free of defects in material and workmanship. This warranty is valid so long as the tool is operated and handled correctly, cleaned and serviced properly and in accordance with the Hilti Operating Instructions, and the technical system is maintained. This means that only original Hilti consumables, components and spare parts may be used in the tool. This warranty provides the free-of-charge repair or replacement of defective parts only over the entire lifespan of the tool. Parts requiring repair or replacement as a result of normal wear and tear are not covered by this warranty. What gets me is that you have to follow service scedules but also use their consumables. So no Diablo blades or Milwaukee blades, only Hilti blades. that's a warranty that very few people will ever be able to cash in on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The warranty excludes consumables. Recip saws are not covered by the wear and tear part. Also, read this: https://www.us.hilti.com/tool-warranty Whatever you linked is completely incorrect. Fleet service may require Hilti consumables but I honestly have no idea about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I was just trying to cut this building literally in half with my Hiliti!! Too funny! I think a recip can get damaged pretty easily in the hands of a goon. Some guys just brute force their way through everything. It would be a nightmare to try to figure out what the actual cause was. At least Hilti caps repairs at 30% of the retail. Knowing you'll never pay more than $75 to fix your saw is kind of nice. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless you are trying to tell me that their own warranty language isn't their warranty language. Here is the manual for one of their recip saws.
