Milwaukee Sawzall has become a name that synonymous with reciprocating saws. The One-Key app allowed us to change the SPM and trigger ramp-up on the Milwaukee 2822 M18 FUEL Sawzall to help with cutting thicker and tougher metals and steel.

Sawzall the name that started it all Well at least for reciprocating salt Yes the Sawzall name has now become Synonymous like Kleenex Coke and many Other things that we could name here but Basically Sawzall has become the overall Name for reciprocating saws many times People will say hand me that Sawzall Even though it may be a rigid it may be A flex it may be a Makita doesn't matter If it's a reciprocating saw people know It as a Sawzall and that's because Milwaukee kind of came up with the Sawzall decades ago anyway this is the Somewhat latest rendition of the Sawzall It's the model number 2822 and it also has one key technology Which means we can connect it to an app For both inventory and security as well As even controlling performance if you Will now let's go ahead and dive into The details of this look at all the Features then obviously we're going to Do some cutting with it and then we'll Come back and talk about pricing Warranty and what we thought of the Performance today we've got the Milwaukee 2822 and this is the M18 your Sawzall and not just the Sawzall but the Sawzall with one key now we got it in The kit so it's the 2822-22 which comes with two 5 amp hour Batteries and the M12 M18 charger and The Beautiful vacuum molded plastic case
Who could do without that anyway uh so We get it we get two 5 amp power Batteries and the charger we'll move This aside As I mentioned with the 2822 we get the Features of one key as well so we can Use the one key app in conjunction with This tool to control things like speed So we have three different speed Settings we can actually customize those Speed settings right inside the app and We'll show that here in just a few Moments and do things like the cut brake On this that's going to actually stop The blade once it senses that we're Finished cutting so that's a pretty cool Feature so anyway so we get the one key App also with this we get the quick lock Feature which this enables us to change Blades very easily we don't have to get Our fingers in here in like a pinch Point and turn anything we can just Quickly grab that with a thumb pull that Up to you know quarter turn or whatever Insert the blade let that go and it's Going to lock that blade into place We'll do some blade changes here in a Moment and also on the shoe here not Only do we get a pivoting shoe So we get a pivoting shoe as well as if We squeeze these two buttons here There's one on this side there's one on The other you need to squeeze both of Those at the same time and then we can
Slide that shoe in and out and you can See there's several indentions where you Can adjust that shoe And so you can do that sometimes Depending on what you're cutting you you Can also adjust that to basically get on A different spot of the blade so you're Not wearing out the blades let's say You're cutting uh you know half inch Rebar continually and you're cutting on That same inch and a quarter of the Blade well you can move that shoe in and Out to change where it's actually Cutting on that blade to save that blade And to you know help it to last longer Now when we're talking about strokes This has a one and a quarter inch stroke Meaning on every stroke in and out You're going to get an inch and a Quarter out and and then back in and up To 3 000 SPM or 3 000 Strokes per minute And the one key app you can also adjust The ramp up when you pull the trigger so Listen to this So that took quite a while in terms of Seconds you know maybe a second and a Half or so to actually get to full speed Now if I go to speed three I know it's Set to a very fast ramp up as well as 3 000 Strokes per minute and listen to This Almost instantaneously we're at a full 3000 Strokes per minute so that comes in Really handy when you're using the same
Saw to let's say do some demolition work Or cut through Lumber and at the same Time maybe you're needing to cut some Stainless steel or some thicker metal And at that point you really need to Have an idea of speeds and feeds or at Least just cheat on the fact of if I'm Cutting thick metal I need to slow it Way down if I'm cutting through Lumber Or PVC I can probably you know Put It Up Full bore and when you pull the trigger Let It Go wide open and not worry about It but you do have to take an Understanding of what are you cutting How thick is what you're cutting and Then adjust your speeds accordingly and That's one thing nice about the one key Is we can actually adjust that in the App and then just change the number here And have different settings and Different Strokes per minute different Ramp up time for the different materials We're using in the different settings on The tool now to get an idea here as far As the length of this tool we're right At 19 inches to the tip of the battery To the tip of the tool of course that's Going to change depending on what type Of Blade you're running and so forth and Then top of the handle height right at Nine inches so not a small tool by any Means but this is typically something You're grabbing when you're you know Doing some heavy cutting or doing some
Demolition work so typically you're not Needing anything real small if that's The case you can go down to the hacksaw And just to give you an idea see if we Can get a weight on it I'll do my best To kind of balance it here with the 5 Amp hour battery looks like eight pounds Five and a half ounces And bear tool Like six and three quarter pounds six Pounds 10 ounces something like that Yeah six pounds 10 ounces Now one of the other additions uh to This tool in which you can actually see It right here you see this this is not An underline for uh for the one key app But that's what it looks like but if you Turn this over that coincides with right Here these battery rails when they first Started making these cordless sawzalls They had issues with uh the batteries uh You know wanting to kind of vibrate to Death well now we have metal Reinforcement throughout that battery Area that's going to hold that battery In place and so it's not just plastic Holding that or reinforced nylon we Actually have a metal reinforcement ring Going around here and reinforcing that Battery to ensure it lasts a long time Now we're about to cut some different Materials uh but before we do that I Just wanted to cover that probably when Cutting material whether it be a Sawzall
Whether it be a cut off saw whether it Be a a skill saw whatever it may be that You're cutting with the blade probably Makes as much of a difference as the Actual saw itself as well so very Important to match the things you're Cutting in the thickness of the cut to The different blade Milwaukee has a Great line there's other brands that Have great lines as well but they Differentiate it pretty easily you know The ax system is basically for all your Woods your torch will be for your Different metals and Steels and Stainless Steels things like that and Then they have their wrecker series for Doing a lot of the demolition work which You can see we've kind of worn that one Out or well at least worn the paint off Of it I think it'll still cut anyway the Ax is going to be primarily wood but Like as you can see here this is for Pruning clean Woods so whether you're Actually pruning trees or you know just Cutting through a two by ten and you Don't really care about cut quality per Se you're just trying to get through it And then nail embedded wood you see a Little more tooth count per inch so That's going to take care of not only Your wood but say nails and screws in Wood as well and again the wrecker Series is going to do the same and be More apt to really cutting through you
Know sheet metal wood nails screws Anything like that and then the tort Series for cutting thicker Metals for Cutting stainless steel and again Another huge important thing to look at Are the speeds and feeds or how fast are You cutting through material so let's Get started and talk about it okay so I'm going to go on my phone here go to My one key app and by the way if you Don't already have it added you can just Hit the plus sign and add the tool but I Do have it on here and I'm going to go Ahead and say connect the tool And so now that I'm connected to the Tool you can see in modes one two and Three where I can go to here and I can Say okay from 1300 Strokes per minute All the way up to 3 000 Strokes per Minute I can set it every 100 Strokes per Minute as to what I want I'm going to Put that all the way down to 1300 and There's my trigger ramp up do I want it Really short do I want it longer so you Can see if I move it all the way up here You can say it takes a long time to ramp Up to that speed so I'm not going to Quite do it that long So I'll go back to it and set that back Down to about where it was And you can see there's also cut brake I'm not going to put cut brake on this One let me back out of here and I'm
Going to go to speed three And you can see I've got it at the Shortest possible trigger ramp I've got Maximum 3000 Strokes per minute and I'm Going to enable the cut brake on this One So you can see when I did that I've got This little green light that now lit up Telling me that the cut brake is on So now I'm going to disconnect from the Tool Back out of here And let's cut Okay I'm going to go ahead and grab my Pruning clean wood And you can see I can just flip this up Stick the blade in there Insert the blade all the way let that go And now it's locked in Okay you can see here my trigger ramp is Very quick Gets at the max speed very quickly I'm Going to rest that shoe right against The wood and make the cut Gonna rest that shoe right against the Wood and then make the cut Now I'm not getting any I'm not Providing any downward motion I'm just Letting it pretty much cut through and Got my hand there just for a rest if you Will Foreign An even faster cutting motion the super Sawzall actually has in orbital mode in
It which actually kind of eats into the Wood and gives that orbit action as well This 222 does not have that but the Super saws all does have it so if you're Cutting primarily wood all the time and You want an even faster cut then you Definitely want something with that Orbital cut and that super saw is all Will do that However you see how fast we can cut Through normal wood now I say normal Wood this is actually pressure treated I'm going to go up to the nail embedded Wood Blade Still in the ax series still a carbide Tooth and we're just going to cut some Regular wood with the nail embedded wood Blade You see my finger still on the trigger And the tool stopped Let's try that again See my finger's still on the trigger so That's what the cut brake does as soon As it senses that it's cut through Something it stops the blade and you can See that this Blade's a little bit Slower in cutting that just because it's Not near as aggressive as a of a tooth As the pruning clean would however What it's good for something like this Where we've got a couple of fence Staples in here I've got a 20D nail I've Got a deck screw pardon screw in there
We'll adjust the shoe out a few clicks And then we'll cut this nail embedded Screw embedded fence staple embedded Wood And you can see it hardly even stopped Or even slowed down at the screws and Nails And steak So as I mentioned having cut speed along With a blade along with the tool itself To provide the power is really going to Determine how much performance you get Out of cutting things especially when You move away from just wood and you get Into nail embedded wood even you know Steel beams things like that so let's Cut something else really PVC anything Should be able to cut that as far as any Blade now finer tooth blade is going to Give you a finer cut but that shouldn't Give you any difficulties at all So I'm not even going to make more cuts On that I think we get that if you have Trouble cutting PVC then you may want to Look at what you're using just saying All right so something pretty typical Whether it be in a Fab shop or whether It be on a construction site will be Some rectangle tubing I think this is Eighth inch wall or maybe 10 gauge wall Something like that so really not heavy Heavy but it is some steel something We're probably wanting to reach for We'll go ahead and use this one but I
Think we'll see that it's going to do Better off with a with a torch blade Here in one moment Now what I am going to do I'm going to Slow that down I'm going to go to my Number two setting Which I think is set at yeah my number Two is set at 2300 Strokes per minute so Kind of right in the middle and that's What I want I want to slow it down just A bit and see how well it does so I'm Going to go into speed mode 2 Which tells me that's going to give me That 2300 Strokes per minute And we're using the same nail embedded Wood blade not the right blade for this I'm just saying it's not the right blade Still a carbide tooth but we're going to See how well it cuts here Now that my Vise is tightened let's see How well it cuts So not a good experience could I hack it That for a while and get that to cut Yeah I probably could but let's just Show you here And by the way it's starting to really Eat at those teeth I'm going to throw on A torch blade so different tooth count As well as different type of Blade Geometry altogether So now we have the torch Foreign So a lot different experience when you
Put in the correct Blade with the Correct RPM and making your cut Now we're going to step up to some true Half inch structural steel And we're going to slow that down even a Little more and we're going to go to Speed one And that's going to give us our slow Ramp up as well as our 1300 Strokes per Minute so really slow if you will And we'll get started on this Now what I really like is that slow Startup because it enables me to to get Started nice and clean without it Wanting to jump all over the place Foreign Just kind of Rode In by itself there Well that's interesting that foot is Definitely that shoe is definitely Wanting to ride in Even when it's supposed to be locked in And I'm going to go to speed two Thank you So in speed two I did pick up some speed There you're probably going to go Through your blades quicker but you can Get a little more performance but when You get too high you could be burning up Blades as well and definitely if we were In stainless steel we would want to stay At that slower speed What I'm curious of is if this shoe Finally locked in or if it's going to Slide back in again
You see how it wants to wander all over The place without the soft startup Let's do something I'm gonna go to speed two and all I'm Going to do is give us a little bit of a Softer start so now I'm in speed two And just a lot cleaner start on that Rather than it jumping all over the Place like it did We get a nice clean start Foreign so it seems like that shoe Finally locked in there maybe the Buttons were kind of stuck but anyway a Couple of times that shoe wrote in on Its own but definitely with that slow Startup gives you a lot better entry Especially if you're trying to cut a Nice clean line on say a piece of I-beam Or stock like this angle iron or Whatever it may be when you're cutting That thicker steel to be able to have That slow entry or slower ramp up to Really finesse Starting that blade without it jumping All over the place You can see I can really control that where if I Went to speed three It has more of a tendency to want to Jump everywhere Performance was very good on this saw Now the shoe kind of wanted to wander in On its own but then after we cut for a Little bit I think it finally found its
Lock its full lock position and I know That these buttons were real hard to Push initially not real hard but like Almost sticky and I'm wondering if maybe Grease or something like that because Now not only are they easy to push but It seems that the shoe is also locking Into place so I'm going to chalk that up To being it was just new in the box and Again maybe some the buttons weren't Actually fully engaging on this shoe Because now it seems to be really in There pretty good and then the other Kind of sticky point was the first time We tried to engage a blade it came out But again I think it wasn't just fully Engaged yet it was literally the first Time we put a blade in it and now it Seems to actually work very well and This was quite sticky in the beginning As well and now it's nice and free now There is a firm spring in there that Holds that locked but it's pretty easy To engage and disengage we really love The one key aspect of this now at the Same time we know that some users may Never use that and if that's the case Then you may want to just step down to The non-one key version and save a Little money this is 259 dollars for the Bear tool the 2822 is 259. now for the Kit that we have here which is two 5 amp Hour batteries and the tool and the Charger in case you're looking at like
469 dollars so putting another 210 bucks On it you get a five year warranty on The tool and that remains whether you Get the tool only or the kit now if you Step down to the 2821 which does not Have one key you're going to save about 60 bucks it's going to be 199 dollars For the bear tool and if you step up to The super Sawzall which has the orbit Motion so if you're always cutting wood And doing demolition work then it may Make sense for you to be the get the Biggest Beast of all and that's the Super Sawzall which is the 27 21 or 27 22 I believe uh anyway that's going to Have that orbit motion probably have the Most cutting power but you cannot get That in the one key version that's also Going to be 259 dollars which again You're getting that pushing and Performance if you will but you're not Getting the one key we think this is a Great idea for somebody that's cutting Different types of material all the time And like in a Fab shop I'm telling you More and more some of these are starting To be used sawzalls reciprocating saws Are starting to be used more and more in Fab shops because you're not slinging Sparks everywhere and with some of the Finesse cutting you can get it to Actually enter the metal pretty well the Steel or aluminum or stainless steel and Still be able to make a nice Cut as I
Mentioned in the video be sure you're Pairing not only the correct blade but Also the right speed for the material That you are cutting and you're going to Have a lot better outcome hey we'll have Links in the description for each of These for the blades as well as the Tools and we'll even include the super Sawzall and the 2821 version of this With out the one key and be sure to Follow us on Instagram Facebook Twitter And even Tick Tock and if you don't mind Would you hit that like And subscribe Button if you haven't done so already And by all means did you hate our video Well then give us that thumbs down but Would you let us know in the comments Why have a great day and keep smiling
