Questions and Answers for Milwaukee 12 Amp SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw with Case

A:  I'm sure it could with the correct blade, but it's a toilet, gently use a sledge hammer to break the bowl into several pieces. Much quicker, much less dust, much easier. Or do you men to use it to cut through the rusted bolts that hold the toilet to the floor? If so, it'll do it in a few seconds with the metal-cutting blade and then lift off the whole toilet.

A:  no the fastest way to destroy a toilet bowl and tank are a sledge hammer.

A:  No. You would need a grinder or a cut off wheel on a Whizzer. The blades on a Sawzall are not designed to cut through porcelain.

A:  It is variable speed and the shoe pivots and can be removed. Blades can be inserted facing forward or backward.

A:  Not variable speed, pivot shoe and I'm not sure exactly what you are mean about the 4 position blades.

A:  Twist and release blade lock

A:  Yes it does. The chuck is built in.

A:  Yes, this saw has a QUIK-LOK blade clamp for tool-less blade changes.

A:  Yes

A:  Yes

A:  Must have been something wrong with the one you rented, blade change on mine is extremely simple.

A:  The little 'cap' end of the saw where the blade slips into twists to the left. Just twist it, hold it in that position and slip in the blade, and release it. It's spring-loaded and will lock itself closed. That's all there is to it.

A:  stand on end, put thumb and one or two fingers around ribbed knob where blades go push down put blade in it will drop if you have the knob all the way down

A:  You can replace them yourself after disassembling the handle (7 screws). However, notice that they are held only by plastic housing. When my brushes failed, they melted the plastic handle and the gray motor housing around them. So open the handle and take a look. If the plastic is melted around the brushes, it's time for a new saw. Also, check the armature segments carefully - they may be falling apart already.

A:  The owner's manual says to take the saw to a service center for brush replacement.

A:  Nope. Just back and forth.

A:  this is not orbital.

A:  No..not an orbital

A:  No, not this particular model.

A:  no just straight line

A:  The tag on the saw says "Assembled in the USA with some foreign components."

A:  mine says assembled in USA with domestic and foreign parts

A:  this one is 110

A:  I only see 110 volts hand power tools at Home Depot, and have never seen this type of tool for 220 volts outlets.

A:  The cord is not removable.

A:  No, this model does not feature the Milwaukee Quik-Lok cord.

A:  If you took the cord off it would not work needs power

A:  Hmm, surprising feedback you have received. I did buy an assortment of blades (stock ones are notoriously considered underperformers). Length is important as will be teeth spacing. If you can afford a larger, heavier, more powerful unit, then do it. I cut dense bamboo and pine 2x4s with mine. Never at a lost for power. But you never know unless you try. If I were going to cut several 4x6 posts, I would not op for the smallest unit.

A:  I wouldn't recommend it for heavy duty job like that. It's a light duty, homeowner saw.

A:  Just get the correct blade and you'll have no problem. A new blade will cut those posts like butter. Don't force it, just let the saw do its job.
