M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless 3/8 in. to 1-1/2 in Expansion Tool Kit with 3 Heads and HACKZALL

Very good

This tool was the best investment ! My milwaukee sawzall decided to quit on me last minute on a job and I rushed and got this hackzall and got the job done ! Great tool great price!

I've used this saw for about a month now. I bought the saw (only), blades, battery, and charger at different places, kit was not cost effective. Pros: Light weight, well balanced. Minimal vibration. For a recip saw, very easy to use, especially one handed. Very robust, strong little saw for it's size. The trigger controlled speed worked well, was easily able to start cuts, and tailor tricky, non linear cuts. I got a 400 series extended li Ion battery, it's mandatory, and lasted for about 2.5 hours of hard core cutting. Recharged pretty quickly, about 45 minutes. Blade mounting and un-mounting very easy with twist hasp. Trigger actuated lamp very handy, bright enough. Cons: Ext Battery very expensive. ($90.00), and only lasts 2.5 hrs, but this saw uses a lot of energy, this is to be expected. For light use only, if you have 50 metal pipes to cut, or a house to bring down, use a corded sawsall. *Don't get it wet, not even a little bit!* Didn't have this problem myself, but many reviews mentioned it. Wish it had an adjustable blade guide. Wish it had a blade holster so I could throw it in my tool bag without removing the blade. Let it cool off after extended, hard use. This is my go to saw for most applications now. Use leather gloves and eye protection. Flick on the safety before you put it down, especially if you have kids.

This M18 Kit is great except that the smallest size expansion head it comes with is 1". This kit would be complete if they included all of the smaller sizes down to 3/8" . The kit comes with: The M18 cordless expansion tool - It's heavy but it's got lots of power. 3 expansion heads (1", 1 1/4" & 1 1/2") 2 M18 battery packs A multi-voltage charger (works with both M12 & M18 Battery packs) A 1.75oz. tube of cone grease Protective carry case that fits everything The kit is geared towards larger PEX pipe connections but the fact that the tool can also use smaller size heads they really should have included them. The head size range it can take is 3/8" - 1 1/2" but I have yet to find them in the smaller sizes (under 1") for the M18 tool. The tool itself is heavy duty and extremely powerful. The expander works really well and makes connections quick and easy. The heads are easily installed/removed by simply hand twisting them (no tools required). This tool is awesome and the kit is great if you only need the 1" + size heads!

used this saw to cut off pvc pipe and it was fast a true cut. Would recommend to all.

This has easily become my favorite tool. Unlike my two handed, corded sawzall, I find this one easy to handle. It has plenty of power, and great run time with the XC battery. The LED light is convenient when I was using it in the basement. and it's smaller size allows me to use it in places I can't get my two handed saw to fit.

Very handy and well built
