6519-22 Reciprocating Saw Review

This reciprocating saw from Milwaukee features good sightlines and easy-to-operate foot adjustment

By Rick Arnold, Mike Guertin

This is a good, basic, no-frills saw. It has a lot more vibration than the 6523-21, but it still performs well. This saw has a few nice features, including a twist blade-change collar, good sightlines along the nose, easy-to-operate foot adjustment, and a Quik-Lok replaceable/removable cord.
