Rated 5 out of 5 by from Really Great Tool For Renovations This Sawzall has been really useful in renovating my 100 year old bathroom, I had to cut through really thick cast iron pipe, and had to also cut out some sections of the wall, all of which this machine did really well. I was worried that 13amp is a bit weaker than the newer 15 amp model, but there's nothing to worry about. The 365 degree spinning handle is (which is only available on the 13 amp version) has been extremely useful at making cuts sideways, up and down. I am somewhat disappointed that this feature is no longer available on the "newer" 15 amp model. All and all a very powerful tool that gets the job done well.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Comfortable and Safe This tool gives you a comfortable hand position when the rest of you isn't. You can always maintain a good trigger position which is always safer. I've demolished whole structures with this tool and I've never lost the handle or had to compromise position to finish the cut. This is a quality tool that will outlast you for a very reasonable price. I also recommend their blades. I find they last longer and cut better, saving you time and money. I've bought many other Milwaukee tools based on this one and I haven't been disappointed.

Rated 3 out of 5 by from Had to return it I bought this saw at homedepot.com to use it to demo a wood deck of about 300sqf. The saw made a solid first impression and we made a few cuts until we noticed that the 'orbital function' could not be turned off. Turning the blade around (upside down) turned it off immediately and the saw blade just oscillated as expected. However, in the standard position the bladed orbited irrespective of the position of the sliding switch (orbiting on/off). I called Milwaukee, customer service, to inquire about any remedies and they recommended returning the saw. No problems with the return at Home Depot, I ended up with the 15Amp model. Overall, the saw performed well, felt solid and the cuts were made quickly and without any issues. I believe my saw was just an outlier and I recommend this product.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from 13amp Super Sawzall The Quick-lock blade holder worked good when it was new, but it just broke on the job,cost me a day. E-service should fix me up. Plenty of power for all-day use,glad I spent the extra money for the Super Sawzall over the others. The molded case needs to be bigger to accomodate the cord when detached and rolled up.Blade storage compartment needs to be just a touch bigger..who carries around another bag just for blades? All in all a great tool,I bought a Milwaukee so it would last just like my grandfather's did.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from The most handy tool because the handle rotates without going back to a determined position. This makes it Ergonomically useful. It is the most powerful saw in its class - no other brand even comes close. I recommend it to the handyman and professional alike.

Rated 5 out of 5 by from Great saw! I bought this saw to take apart a deck and do some basement renovations. The saw is great and cuts where my circular saw is not maneuverable and bogs down. Blades last quite a while as well. I have not used the rotating handle feature very much so far. I'm happy I got this one, it's a great addition to my tool chest.

I liked Bosch a lot. I am a week-end worrier, only use my tools occasionally. But I like fine tools. When I went to use my Bosch, which had very little actual time on it, it was sparking at the commutator, and had no power. It had a defective motor, and the parts were no longer available. The new Bosch "sawsalls "no longer had a lever to adjust the amount of oscillation, and I was disappointed in my old Bosch's quality. I have a 45 year old Milwaukee 1/2" right angle plumbers drill, which still runs like brand new. No defective motor. So I thought that I would give Milwaukee a try again. This new Sawsall is wonderful. It has the variable orbital action, for both cutting wood and metal, It has variable speed in the trigger, with a separate adjustment for setting the maximum speed. It has a quick-release tool-less chuck which allows the blade to be inserted upside down, which I could never do before. The shoe can be adjusted in and out to control the depth of the blade stroke. I used to occasionally have to cut blades shorter so they would not protrude too far below the item I was cutting, and damage something below. And best of all it has a 13 amp MILWAUKEE BUILT MOTOR. This is very important to me after the problems I had with the Bosch motor. I did not want the 15 amp version, as my power sources are only 15 amp home circuits, and I did not want to have to fool around with resetting breakers. This particular model has the unique rotating handle. You never know when this may come in handy. Others have complained that there is no storage compartment built in to the case, and they are correct. However this is easily solved. I simply wrapped up the dozen or so blades I have, in a small shop towel, and put them in the case with the saw. There is plenty of room for them, and with them being wrapped in the towel, they do not rattle around and scratch this beautiful new saw of mine. This is a dream saw. I could not ask for any more features. They are all there! Sawsalls, by their nature, are hard working mechanical devices. This is no tool to try to save money on. Get the best product you can afford. This sawsall has the longest warranty in the business. You only buy a tool like this once or twice in a lifetime. If, like me, reliability and pride of ownership is important to you, this is the tool for you.

I used to own a 15 Amp Milwaukee Sawzall, it was a great tool......until it was stolen. So, I found myself having to replace the old Sawzall with a new one. I debated if I should switch brands, but after shopping around, I decided Milwaukee was still the best in regards to Sawzall's (and I'm a DeWalt power tool guy). I then had to decide if I wanted a 13 or 15 Amp saw, but then I found this model with the rotating handle, which I immediately saw would be very useful (they don't make a 15 Amp Sawzall with a rotating handle). At first I hesitated because I typically like to buy the most powerful tool I can afford, and being that I used to have a 15 Amp one which had been a beast, I was at first unsure if the 13 Amp model would be too weak for my needs. But, I was wrong! This saw is every bit as powerful as the old 15 Amp one I used to have, there's nothing to be concerned about on power. And like another reviewer said, if you have 15 Amp plugs in your home, you probably want to get the 13 Amp model just to have some wiggle room to not trip the breakers. All in all this is a terrific tool, the rotating handle is great, my only complaint is that the case is too small to fit a case of blades in, but hey, you can always just bring the blades in a separate plastic box/holder. It's not the end of the world given that the saw is so good otherwise.

is the Milwaukee 6523-21 available in a local store?

looking for the Milwaukee 13-Amp Orbital Super Sawzall Kit with Rotating Handle Model # 6523-21 Internet # 100389061 in a local store: is it available, or only over the internet?
Asked by: DIYW
I think just over the internet. That's how I got mine. They didn't have it in the local store. I actually called the internet 800 number to order it & told them I was a veteran so they gave me the 10% discount. They have the best price of anybody.

how can i use this tool in 220-240 voltage connection

can you give recommendation how to use it in a 220-240 voltage. I will be bringing the tool to Asia.
Asked by: george
You would need to make an adapter to modify the wall plug. If you do not know your way around such work, get someone who knows what they are doing, such as a qualified electrician.
