6515-21 Cordless Reciprocating Saw Review

This cordless reciprocating saw from Milwaukee has a long running time and a smooth cut

By Andrew Wormer

Inexplicably, this 18v cordless reciprocating saw ran longer and cut the second-farthest of any of the eight saws we tested. It also fared well in cutting speed and had a smooth and moderately sized cut. The charger handles 9.6v to 18v Milwaukee batteries. The saw comes with two blades, a hex wrench, and a plastic case. The case has a lidded compartment that will accommodate spare blades up to 9 in. long.
