The Hilti recip is a beast. They don’t look as pretty as the others but holy crap do they work. Head to a Hilti store and try it out, it’s only a little of your time to find out.
I had the M18 Fuel recip before I switched to Hilti cordless. The Hilti is built to be beaten up on. Although the Milwaukee is brushless, you would never notice that the Hilti is not.
The Hilti corded are nothing short of bulletproof. We have 2x Hilti corded, one Dewalt and one Milwaukee. The Dewalt isn’t even a contender sadly. The Milwaukee is very good, but for the money, Hilti has better performance and warranty. They have a one day turnaround, 20 year warranty.
Here in Canada, the Hilti retails for the exact same price as the Super Sawzall, making it a no brainier for us.
The chuck is tight, easy to change and the shoe has much better spring/shock absorption than the Milwaukee. Grip is pretty much the same, comfort too, neither one is better in that regard.
The Hilti may be slightly more comfortable if you don’t have huge hands.
Just my $.02 if you want to buy a tank with a killer warranty.

This is good to know, just wish I had a local store that had some Hilti tools to try out, I wouldn’t dismiss the brand, just nothing here like you have for service and tools….
I have a HF recip saw too and it works fine. Not in the same league as the Milwaukee but it does what it’s supposed to do.

I think you have to buy dualsaw blades, could be wrong, I just saw that at menards, didn’t check into it that far

Being able to walk into a Hilti store and test rotary hammers by actually drilling a hole in concrete is pretty damn cool.
You can drill, saw, cut, fasten etc.
Makes a big difference.

Just spray some WD40 on them and they should be fine.

What model of corded Hilti are you talking about?
Used a hilti 36v yesterday that a plumber had on site. Now coming from using the makita 18v, the hilti was a beast of a machine. Ripped through nails and timber like butter. Has me thinking I’ll get the new makita dual 18v rather than the single whenever they hit the market

My Makita has done real good. It’s the corded one. It’s around 10 years old and it gets used at least once a week or two. And it’s been run hard. And when I bought it it had the longest blade stroke of all the sawsalls. Resips. Or tied with a couple I think. Its been a long time since I have checked the specks of all them. You can’t go wrong with Makita or Milwaukee in sawsalls.

They do look similar! Like almost every other recip saw!
The Hilti is almost 5 inches longer with a longer stroke length. (22.4″ long vs makita 17 3/4″)
Could be propaganda though, I wouldn’t be surprised if one made it for other!

I’ve heard about this before and it’s not surprising considering it’s Hilti’s lower end saw. Their best saw on the other hand…
[External image (www.homedepot.com), not copied]
that’s not something you’ll get anywhere else. Only place I’ve seen it used is by rescue crews so I don’t know how it compares to a Milwaukee supersawzall.
Who else makes orbital recip saws besides Hilti/Milwaukee?

If you look at the manual, the length and stroke length are identical. Apparently there are also several other Hilti tools made Makita as well.

Ridgid has a cordless, but I’m sure with a little bit of heavy duty work it would fall apart

I just realized, he named this thread “best sawzall out there”. There is only 1 sawzall! Plenty of other reciprocating saws out there but only 1 sawzall.
Just saw that instagram too, interesting.
.
So Makita makes some tools for Hilti?

could be the other way around too….i’m not surprised, what is there 455 different tire factories that make tires but there are thousands of brand names out there….

That makes sense, it also explains why I love Makita too!
Hilti rebranding Makita to fill the entry level stuff is a great idea, they killed off their old entry level recip saw (which wasn’t very good) and there is quite a gap between the entry level and high end tiers.
We have 2x of the 1250’s and they are ridiculous, you can switch off the orbital mode, but holy crap does it make a difference. Too bad the Makita rebrand isn’t orbital.

I was looking at it today and their blades, figure the blades have to be flush on the inner end and I was looking at a 12 inch blade that had some screws in it, if there wasn’t a rebate for that price I would have considered picking it up.

Using Makita stuff on the low end ain’t exactly suckage… It’s not like they are rebranding HF stuff 😛 Makita makes some very nice products, usually in the discussion with Milwaukee for top notch mass produced brands.

There is a vast difference between “low end” and “entry level”. I would never call makita “low end”.

I was referring to Hilti’s “low end” not industry wide low end. Hilti doesn’t make too much stuff anyone would consider cheap or crappy 😉
The old Sawzalls and Tiger saws rock!.
New stuff is garbage. I have 4 old Milwaukees, 2 tigers, 2 tiger claws. Add some grease to the gear box, as there is minimal in there, and they will last a long time.
New product is garbage. I killed a Milwaukee on one job, only job it was on. The new style blade clamp on the Bosch sucks.
I have used the Hilti 36v for the past few years and it destroys any 18v I have tried from any manufacturer. Great tool! Gets my vote.
Hands down best recip saw is the Milwaukee fuel. I have one and I also have a Dewalt one and the Milwaukee runs circles around it by far. No questions definitely the Milwaukee.
The fuel is great but it’s been out a while, let’s see how the new makita BL does.

Suprised noone mentioned makitas 15 amp AVT orbital action reciprocating saw. That thing is a beast and one of the few to give a super sawzall a run for its money !
