JimboS1ice Posted April 15, 2016 Report Share Posted April 15, 2016 Found this at Menards, you have to get their specific blades I was looking at it today and their blades, figure the blades have to be flush on the inner end and I was looking at a 12 inch blade that had some screws in it, if there wasn't a rebate for that price I would have considered picking it up.

Hilti rebranding Makita to fill the entry level stuff is a great idea, they killed off their old entry level recip saw (which wasn't very good) and there is quite a gap between the entry level and high end tiers. We have 2x of the 1250's and they are ridiculous, you can switch off the orbital mode, but holy crap does it make a difference. Too bad the Makita rebrand isn't orbital. Using Makita stuff on the low end ain't exactly suckage... It's not like they are rebranding HF stuff Makita makes some very nice products, usually in the discussion with Milwaukee for top notch mass produced brands. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a vast difference between "low end" and "entry level". I would never call makita "low end". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was referring to Hilti's "low end" not industry wide low end. Hilti doesn't make too much stuff anyone would consider cheap or crappy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phffter Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 The old Sawzalls and Tiger saws rock!. New stuff is garbage. I have 4 old Milwaukees, 2 tigers, 2 tiger claws. Add some grease to the gear box, as there is minimal in there, and they will last a long time. New product is garbage. I killed a Milwaukee on one job, only job it was on. The new style blade clamp on the Bosch sucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tools & Stuff Posted May 12, 2016 Report Share Posted May 12, 2016 I have used the Hilti 36v for the past few years and it destroys any 18v I have tried from any manufacturer. Great tool! Gets my vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jspeed Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 Hands down best recip saw is the Milwaukee fuel. I have one and I also have a Dewalt one and the Milwaukee runs circles around it by far. No questions definitely the Milwaukee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimboS1ice Posted May 14, 2016 Report Share Posted May 14, 2016 The fuel is great but it's been out a while, let's see how the new makita BL does. Jimbo Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kornomaniac Posted May 19, 2016 Report Share Posted May 19, 2016 Suprised noone mentioned makitas 15 amp AVT orbital action reciprocating saw. That thing is a beast and one of the few to give a super sawzall a run for its money ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
