This is currently (May 2014) the newest offering in the M12 lineup, and it is extremely powerful and efficient.
In this video I do a complete unboxing, and full testing on it cutting through many types of materials. It will save you a lot of time that you otherwise waste when manually cutting EMT conduit & PVC piping.
This is essentially a miniature (one handed) Sawzall that runs on the M12 battery platform.
Check it out and let me know what you think. Thanks for watching! :)
I have this tool and I stand by its quality and performance. It's excellent! Worth every penny!
I'm a plumber and I've been using this on PVC san pipes, incredible tool with its one hand operation leaving your other hand to hold the job, with some practice it makes incredibly accurate and fast cuts. Brilliant for PVC pipes in trenches, under houses, cupboards and up ladders where swinging a saw is a pain. I use a lenox PVC/wood blade, but for 50mm and under the 24t metal is best. Also used for notching out studs. This tool is used everyday, I can just about get a days work on a 3 amp battery, love it.
+Boobdepot1977 Awesome! Glad to hear that it is working out well for you!
No entiendo lo que dices, no hablo inglés, viví 1 año y medio en Estados Unidos, pero no aprendí inglés, pero tus vídeos me gustan mucho, eres muy bueno en esto de hacer reseñas de herramientas, sigo mucho canales en inglés, pero definitivamente eres el mejor. Felicidades!
Second time around....it's that good. Thanks! Appreciate your efforts. You are extremely good at what you do.
Got the brushed model in a combo pack with my new 'M12 1/4" Impact' the other day, this thing is awfully handy.
It got used the first morning I had it in the van on a mini-split install.
A lot of the plumbers we see working on the same rough-ins use these too - great tool to have when the full-size Sawzall is too much take up a ladder or get between rafters.
I love the sound it makes as it is getting to the end of the cut via hacksaw.
vonbushwick79 Nice! :)
I bought mine not to long ago I instal temporary rental fence and sometimes we for get to take our small chainsaws to clear bushes or branches I can say that this tool has made my job easier
Bro you need to comeback, you’re the best tool reviewer on the entire Internet😢😢
Thanks my friend 🙂
Hey, good stuff! Where did you get the thing in the background of your last shot? It looks like the sample thing they have at hardware stores to check the thread pitch and size of fasteners. Never thought about it before, but it would be nice to have at home!
I've got the fuel 18v reciprocating and the fuel 12v. The 12v is so beastly I never have to use the 18v anymore. unless I need serious power. but I was very impressed with the power of 12v fuel for cutting branches, pvc, copper and conduit. and being so light I can hold it over my head with one hand and get the job done.
DRugfree1987 I agree....the M12 FUEL is definitely an extremely useful tool to have around.....tons of power & very maneuverable.
Does it cut PVC pretty efficiently I have the m 18 fuel . I want to get the m 12 so I can save space .
I just got one to keep in my tote. Perfect size for anything up to 1" maybe 1"1/4 emt and aluminum.
I love mine! I have the m18 fuel sawzall too, but this one is my go to 90% of the time. It's just easier to use in most cases. Try using the m18 fuel one handed - it's just not going to happppen. This little guy is always out of the bag and I reach for it multiple times a day. You will be amazed how much you use it. I also like running the small blades in it as they are sufficient for 2x material and most pipe and other various obstacles that are in my way or need minor adjustments. For the big jobs the m18 comes out, but this one is my favorite.
Wild Goose You are right! For those everyday smaller cuts, the Hackzall works great!
Wild Goose haha ive got them both too. and im the same way. most the time the 18v fuel stays in the bag. best money ever spent
I love Milwaukee electric tools. Best in the game.
I just bought one for myself for Christmas!
very good tool to have but only the brushless model are the best one to buy. good work!
I went Home Depot last week thanks love it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Love your videos. Do you notice a lot of difference in bulk between the M12 fuel hackzall and the M18 Fue Hackzall?
the pvc you cut through was it solid core or foam core?
Sir where did you buy and what brand is the dual voltage charger for this M12 2520-21XC Thanks!
Nice video!
You make the best review tools videos!
Thanks a lot Marcio! :)
Good job bro, nice video, that little guy is a beast. Yet another reason why I love 12 volt tools so much, many times I don't need the bigger size tools
Thanks! This is my first M12 tool.....and I can definitely see why people like them so much. The lightweight design & extreme power are a great combo :)
Great vid!! How does this compare to the brushed m18 hackzall? Power size weight runtime? And do you know if Milwaukee will be offering a m18 fuel hackzall in the near future? Thank You!
They each have their place unlike the m12 drill. If you cut small emt or pvc the m12 is fine. When I cut 2"-4" emt I prefer an m18 hackzall or bandsaw
nice review, thank you!
Just found you and really enjoyed your videos! Thanks much and look forward to more! Liked and subscribed!
Thanks buddy.
You make really great reviews!! And damn you have a Nice wise;)
jonas15449 Thanks Jonas! :)
Put a quick disconnect nylon sleeve over the blade that will require a manual release and that should cover the safety issue?
the problem with cutting locks with a reciprocating saw is that they are loose and move around with the saw blade going back and forth, grinder is best :) but i like the compact design of this.
Oh definitely.....a grinder with a cutoff wheel is absolutely a better choice. That test was more-so to prove it could do it, and to show its versatility. Hardened metal eats up the teeth on metal cutting blades, so its not something I would use unless I was in a jamb & needed the lock off immediately.
Great Video...Thanks!
That Kobalt vise look great.
Wiill this thing cut heavy gauge metal studs? Im working on exterior framing and a buddy of mine has a dewalt 20v sawsall but its too big to carry around
Sure.....just use carbide blades for long life.
V
Just got one of these, can’t wait to try cutting up exhaust with it
Use a Diablo metal cutting carbide tipped blade 😉👍
Catalytic converters perhaps??🤨
@@unclefester4626 perhaps, however if I am it’s for good reason. Not because I’m stealing them. I’m a mechanic
What sized screws are used to hold the plastic body together?
I tried using a T10 Torx, but it’s not quite right.
Jesse Frame T9
Great video, thanks! Is that tool compatible with normal reciprocating saw blades?
Yep! Exact same.
how's the waterproofing on the 12v fuel vs b the 18v fuel. I remember you soaked the 18v fuel. could you do the same with the 12v fuel?
DRugfree1987 I will have to check with them to see if the internals are protected the same way.....good question! I will let you know when I hear back.
awesome thanks
This is perfect for keeping in the Jeep for when off-roading and or camping :D
Your review pushed me over the edge. Home Depot is offering the kit w/ a 2.0Ah battery, any better deals currently?
I think you are referring to the standard M12 Hackzall kit (2420-21) for $99 at Home Depot. This one is the upgraded brushless M12 FUEL version (2520-21XC) & comes with one 4.0 amp hour battery. This particular unit is roughly $199 online & Home Depot is currently running a special that will give you an extra 2.0 battery for free if you purchase online (search for 2520-21XC-48-11-2420 on Home Depot online).
I got one. I love it
Need some of your advice i will proberbly use this hackzall on exhaust most of the time will this tool be strong enough to handle cutting stainless and mild steel exhaust
***** 100% yes.......the biggest thing you need to keep in mind is getting quality blades. Dull blades will not cut hot butter. I would suggest looking at the Diablo carbide tipped metal cutting blades.....they are pricey ($10-$15/each), but last a long time & can slice through almost anything. Also....loose material rips teeth off of blades....make sure that you are firmly pressing down on the tool the entire time & make sure it is not loosely cutting, or you will ruin your blades.
***** Also ..... fyi, the Hackzall can use standard length Recip blades....you do NOT need to get short "hackzall length" blades to use in it.
U
good review! I just ordered mine. model 2520-21XC-2456-20
It should be here next week! Autoglass tech
+Shelby Tony Diaz Awesome! I hope you like it!
Are you using it with equalizer blades? and whats the stroke length on it?
My buddy has one just like that from snap on and its very handy!
+Bryan Davis Nice! Can beat the convenience!
I want one but it doesn't seem much quicker than a hacksaw. I know you compared it on the video but it looked as though you were in apprentice mode with the hacksaw.
What's the cutting capacity? Would it do 3" stainless piping?
+superautobacs It would only be limited to blade length/type.....it takes the same blades as a normal reciprocating saw, so if you got some blades that would cut stainless steel, it should not be an issue.
Look how theres almost no vibration coming from that hackzall that's Milwaukee engineering right there
atyourservice666 Yep, Milwaukee really made a good tool with this one....I used it earlier today!
Lack of power could also be a cause, just saying
The M18 fuel hackzall has more power and vibrates much less than the 12v one.
Do you feel the need to use both hands with this saw or is one handed use ok?
One handed is absolutely fine.
when you buy just the tool itself does it just come in a box or does it come in a m12 bag inside the box?
+Nerf Herder I am not sure.....I got the kit, so I would assume just the tool. That is always how it is with larger tools....only the kits come with a case/bag.
Ah I see thanks for that
I need a hackzall for work mainly cutting 3/4 to 1 inch pvc and emt a lot. How long is the battery life and is it worth it getting this vs the m18 hackzall?
jon mendez The standard M18 Hackzall & the M12 FUEL have almost the exact same cut speed....the M12 being brushless (more efficient & longer runtimes.......but the M18 can use higher capacity packs). Depending on whichever battery lineup you have, I would pick either.....no sense in buying more batteries for just one tool......I have used them both a lot & they both work great.
jon mendez I would look at the M12 PVC shear www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2470-20
jon mendez It wouldn't work for the emt but a clean cut in PVC is a plus.
great video!
Thanks!
Id like to see Milwaukee make a holster for the hack saw that can attach to a belt.
Yeah, or maybe even a rafter hook like the sawzall...so it could be hung on a ladder or solid item (other than against the user).
Well I can see you make hacksaw in a m12 for weight but why not have a adjustable shoe for different size blades
Nice need to get one. I have the m18 and it is to big sometimes in tight places.Is the older none fuel one just as powerful?
+mysongordon The M12 FUEL is almost exactly the same speed as the normal M18 version.....the regular M12 is roughly 1/3rd the speed of the M12 fuel.
+mysongordon Also.....the M12 Fuel & M18 are almost the same size.....the difference being that the M12 will stand up on it's own & the m18 wont.
That is my issue also I am limited on the space for my tools . I have the M 18 also and really want this
dayyyuum look at tha burrrs from the cooper and pvc
I really wanna buy one for my apartment/home improvement. Can you tell me if this saw is TOO NOISY? I'd appreciate it if you let me know. And thanks!!!
Certain blades could be louder than others (cutting metal/etc).....but noise-wise for the saw, it’s much quieter than other options and really just has vibrations you’ll be dealing with.
@@RealToolReviews Thanks for replying. (I might need this saw for a few indoor jobs)
Is it able to cut tree roots 5" Thick thanks
Boy...as a milwaukee fan i sure am glad you compared it to a hacksaw handtool and not something like a dewalt or makita....phew...close call....
Man u need to work at Milwaukke expos dude......
i think he already does w/ lol those name drops lol
Cool little tool but if I had to choose only one I'd take the M18 Fuel Sawzall. It has more pow-wa! As usual, great review!
Thanks! :) Yeah the sawzall is the king definitely, but with the small design on this, it will get into some tight situations that otherwise you would be stuck cutting by hand. And, the price difference between the two is quite large ;)
very nice Thank you video
Good job D. i like your review thanks.....____
+Arturo Carrasco Thanks a lot Arturo!
used the wrong blade to cut through the lock, there is one that instead of teeth is more like a grinding wheel but on a saw blade works grate for hardened steel or thick fiber glass as well.
Great review! You did a test with the M18 Fuel Sawzall, cutting small trees and limbs. Do you think this M12 Fuel Hackzall is capable of the same? Maybe 3" diameter limbs with a pruning blade?
I already have the M12 Fuel Hammer Drill and Impact Driver, and this looks nice. I do like the M18 Sawzall, but don't have any other M18 tools/batteries. Thanks!
delfonik Thanks! Yes, I think it would cut through them with a pruning blade with no issues. The stroke length is not as much, so it would be slower. And just FYI --- Dont expect to prune your whole yard on one charge, it seems like whether it is solid steel or soft wood, cordless tools dont really know the difference & the batteries will die just as fast. But for a couple small trees, one charge should clean them up nicely.
Thanks for the reply! Definitely won't be pruning a lot at one time, but it's good to know it has enough power for the job.
Good timing to buy now too. A lot of places have the bare tool for $139 and are also including a free XC 4.0 battery.
Thanks again!
Uses Milwaukee hack saw blades and any standard reciprocating saw blades .
Yep, I just happen to call them sawzall blades....but are correct, any standard reciprocating saw blades will work with it. Thanks for pointing that out.
Thanks
You're better off cutting PVC pipe with PVC cutters. The Hackzall is fast but then you have to spend a lot of time deburring, which negates the advantage. For the rest of materials it can be a huge time-saver tho.
Demolition 😉👍
The hack saw was surprisingly quick due to the new blade. Anything can cut through the shackle of a masterlock, btw ;-p
@@kylelikeskjvbible Try Assa Abloy. There's better locks, but it's a good place to start looking. It also depends on how much your box and tools are worth. At some point defeating the box instead of the lock makes more sense to a would be thief.
Blade test or a tool test? How about a long blade and some 2x4
With the right blade, it cuts like a 120vac tool.
Man lets be honest, if you're a carpeter/joiner you'll get the larger 18v saw. On the other hand, if you're a plumber/electrician who works on household projects, or a maintenance guy who works on domestic properties, you want to carry around something lightweight most of the time. It's all about common sense- if you know what you're doing you'll be able to assess what type of a tool you need. Every tool has its place- it's a matter of how it performs in its own cathegory
Nice
Alejandro Guerrero Thanks Alejandro!
portabands are best for cutting EMT
When they fit.
Good Point.
I pray for the windings in the tool when you cover the air holes 😮
will this use sawzall blades?
+David Worley Yes.....exactly the same ones.
+Real Tool Reviews Thanks for the quick reply. you have great reviews! I think I will have to pick this tool up when I can afford one. I just recently got the m12 fuel hammer drill and I love that tool.
+David Worley Thanks! I use it all the time, and one thing to keep in mind ---- get the M12 FUEL version....it cuts 3xs as fast as the normal M12 version.
+Real Tool Reviews Is it really 3x faster? I just bought a kit with the non fuel, and am considering upgrading. But since it won't be used everyday, I'm thinking the m12 might work.
Could you try this on some 8 inch plus tree limbs?
Definitely use a carbide tipped pruning blade
this man high af lol
Aaron Chase
Just use the Milwaukee bandsaw for emt
I'm looking to buy this saw I'm a first year electrician. Would it be alright? Don't want something too bulky
will it cut rebar
Yes.
Simon que si
Can someone please tell me what is the difference bewtween Milwaukee M12 2520 FUEL Hackzall and the Milwaukee M12 2420 Hackzall?
The FUEL 2520 is much faster (about 2 1/2 times as fast cutting), has a brushless motor for longer life, and has a longer run time per charge. The regular 2420 has a brushed motor & cuts slower/battery dies faster/tool most likely wont last as long. Basically any FUEL product is the "better" version of the regular tool.
dmcguinn1 Thank you. That is exactly what I wanted to know. Yesterday I bought a (regular) 2420 Hackzall and a Demolition Blade Set. I got home, charged up the battery and went to test it on a 2x4 Wood, and I was NOT very impressed with the results or the battery life. So I was thinking; should I buy a 4.0 Amps battery, or should I return it and get the FUEL version? Thanks for your help! I will get the FUEL Version.
Geraldo Galliani
The different battery capacities will not give you a noticeable difference in power, only in runtime. The FUEL kit comes with one 4.0 battery, but is compatible with any M12 batteries that you already own also. Thanks!

Rarely do I need to use this for cutting wood or metal, I have much better tools for that - although this is great for cutting copper and pvc pipe in awkward spots. The thing I use this most for is cleaning grout, HD sells these little nylon brush attachments that fit in this thing, works like a charm.
No you dont
@@nestornieves9822 Ok Nestor you got me, I just made the whole thing up 🙄
locks?
all you need are 2 wrenches :D
A cut off grinder works better on locks.
It’s also 100xs louder
@@RealToolReviews I used a cut off tool when I worked maintenance. I had to go through and cut off several abandoned bicycles from students in college. The brayed chains were impossible with a sawsall.
Cutting that padlock was a fail because the blade is softer than the padlock hardened steel.
Dude,you were the best,come on out of retirement.
Soon my friend 😉
M-chwelve
Looks like the lock wins against the saw blade. That blade is definitely destroyed.
I have one of these and it can't cut through wood at all. No matter what blade you use, it's garbage and not strong enough for wood. Why didn't this guy test it on wood?
what the fk use hack saw?
a hacksaw is for an apprentice
I'm a apprentice and I have the 18vt fuck the baby one lol
Larry Velasquez The 18v vibrates too much
Sandro Kovalev The M18 fuel hackzall vibrates the least out of all recip saws I've used
FireBarrels that was not my experience. I used a co-worker's M18 hackzall to cut PVC for a water heater vent, I had to use two hands. I don't have to use two hands with the 12v one, but it does take a little longer.
Was it the regular or fuel one? The fuel one is the one that hardly vibrates
Thieves dont even need m18, m12 will work for criminals just fine.
Good morning
Blade Milwaukee is not good blade
