I have had one for about a year and have found it to be one of the most
valuable power tools I have ever owned. I had a broken pipe in the bottom
of a trench (about 3' deep), you just plunge the blade down into the dirt
and cut the pipe, I can't think of another power tool that I could have
used. It cuts through 2" angle iron like butter and makes topping off
6" fence posts a breeze.
I got the Milwaukee because I got a good deal on it. It is very rugged
and well balanced, makeing it easy to use. I have used several others
that are good but I still like the Milwaukee the best. Strangely enough
it (the Sawz-all) has the smallest motor of the lot (5 amp) which allows
me to run it off my little Honda generator, very convenient when you
consider that the back fence I was working on is 400 feet from the nearest
plug.
I agree with Kevin, it is not a finesse tool, but I wouldn't be without
one.
