Customer Reviews for Milwaukee M18 18-Volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Short Throw Press Tool Kit with 3 PEX Crimp Jaws with M18 FUEL HACKZALL Saw Kit

Love my crimper!! Very new to plumbing but this tool made it so easy to re pex the whole mobile home.. a job i was quoted at 6,500$ I did for 1,000$ with the tool price

I tried to call the product hotline as indicated on the review guidelines and was routed around in the computer circle. Extremely poor phone service. Upon removal of the tool bag, (with the tool inside the bag) from the box, I attempted to unzip the bag. And it would not unzip. Upon close inspection, at the beginning of the bag, the zipper teeth had a jump so that two teeth were on the same side of a single tooth and the bag would not unzip. I am not going to force the zipper and take a chance on damaging it. Such a poor review, all because of a inexpensive zipper not allowing the tool to be properly used. I am going to return the product to Home Depot and see the response.

If there’s one electric saw to own for DIY/household projects, this is it. Very versatile, lightweight, and easy to use- it’s a beast! In the few days of owning it, I’ve cut 2x4’s, nails, and thick steel framing (for an awning), all without any hiccups. Be sure to buy quality blades to go with it. On a side note, the tool bag is much bigger than I thought and had enough space to fit my jigsaw in as well.

This thing is amazing. I am a contractor that does occasional plumbing repairs, remodeling work, water heaters ect. This thing makes working with PEX sooo much easier. It comes with a 1/2, 3/4 and 1" crimp jaws. They are extremely easy to swap out and the battery holds up. This thing makes the work a breeze, you dont have to have 3 hands and its really quick. I cannot say enough good things.

Best sawzall all I’ve ever owned. The axe blade is amazing! Does not wear out! I’ve had one of these for about a year and use it while renovating houses. Battery is long lasting. I bought this one as a gift for my younger brother who lives in Oregon after he told me that he had several projects to do.

Hacksaw the best tool l have bought. One hand operation, easy control and light. I use it for work in all areas of construction. Form work, cutting rebar, conduits, tree trimming. A great tool!

I have been wanting the saw for a while to replace my older one. I found it as a special buy of the day and jumped all over. Shipping was fast. All I can say is I love this thing, way more powerful then the older model. Only positive/negative is the pivot on the front, pinched my fingers a few times but I works great to really get to those hard to reach places.

I am a home owner who had trouble getting plumbers out in a reasonable amount of time. I also had wildly different quotes for what I thought was an obvious scope of work. Further, I couldn't really gauge the quality of the plumber and whether they did clean work or hack work. As such, I decided to try the do it yourself route. I'm relatively handy but not a professional trades person. I had a manual press tool for plumbing pex. With the amount of lines and manifolds I wanted to install and clean up, I knew I needed (wanted) a power tool. In the past, these devices were upwards of $3000.00. Then I saw this at home depot with 10% off for about $630 bucks. It was a lot of money. It was better than $3000. It was a Milwaukee - something that I knew my propane professional used. I also figured I could sell it gently used for about $500 when I was done. The tool itself is stout. It seems professional grade to me. It comes with 2 batteries (not really clear in the picture) and 3 adapters, 1", 3/4" and 1/2". The hard plastic case has 2 more open 'slots' to add additional press adapters (presumably 3/8 and 5/8?). I've decided to use the copper rings (instead of the stainless crimps). This tool is made for the copper rings and it performs a perfect press every time. I haven't had a 'mistake' or 'partial' press yet. I'm on about 60 presses on the same battery charge with a mix of 3/4 and 1/2 connectors. I am more than happy with this tool. It makes pressing in tight locations very easy. Switching adapter collars is a breeze - takes all of 2 seconds to take off, 4 seconds to grab the different size from the case, 2 seconds to put on.

The Milwaukee Cordless Hackzall Saw will replace your manual hacksaw and make cutting material easier and faster. This kit is great because it has everything you need: tool, large battery, charger and large carry bag. First, I purchased a couple of assorted saw blade kits. There is plenty of room in the bag to carry accessories. The shape of this tool is a bit strange as the motor is upright but that allows you to grip the saw better if using two hands. But the real advantage is that you can use this saw one-handed, so it works great for plumbing, piping, trimming, etc. You can hold the material with one hand while cutting with the other. It also gives you more access when you might be up on a ladder, and need to hold on with one hand, while cutting with the other. This reciprocating saw is powerful enough for light demolition work as well. The battery has plenty of power to provide a long run time. And even though the battery is large and heavy, the tool seems balanced with that large battery. I used mine to cut nails flush in concrete, cut pallets, build a small wood desk accessory, and other small projects. If you need a heavy-duty demolition saw, then you need to also buy the Milwaukee Cordless Sawzall kit.

Great Tool...Easy To Operate! After using a manual crimper, this cordless press kit makes installing a PEX system so much easier. In new construction and remodels, there is always a fitting that is in a tight spot that does not allow easy access to operate a manual crimp tool. Once you get the cordless tool's jaws around the ring, the pressing process is automatic at the press of a button. Also, the pressing process is more consistent and uniform. This is a great tool by Milwaukee.

Great replacement for my old crimper.

It's works great . I'm very happy with this . And I will.be getting the copper crimp jaws latter

The Milwaukee Short Throw PEX Crimper works great. Makes it a lot easier to crimp, single hand use and fast crimping. I've been able to make 200+ crimps and all have passed.

Lightweight and efficient

Very pleased filled all my expectations

Very nice Hackzall. Would definitely recommend.

Easy to use and clamped the rings flawlessly. Just disappointed that you can’t get the propress jaws for copper.

This is a great cordless hacksaw. Its size and weight are great for all day use and has plenty of power, no need to drag out the big corded sawzall.

Have used this product before have used the previous one for about 8 yrs and it still is working great , great quality and definitely will continue to buy them in the future as well I own other products of Milwaukee as well. Shipping was quick the availability to be able to get so fast was great for line of work.

Easy to use. Ready to go. Made the job easy.

It was too heavy for me, so I returned it.
