Milwaukee’s New M18 FUEL Jig-Saw
Milwaukee innovates tools for the betterment of the user, the trades pro, and the DIYer. With their new Jig-Saws, it is no surprise that they have made improvements that people like you suggested.
- Who else can tell Milwaukee what needs improving besides those who use their tools?
The New Replaces the Old
The first thing that needs mentioning is that Milwaukee has decided to discontinue the 2645-20 D-Handle Jigsaw with the NEW Milwaukee M18 FUEL 2737-20 Jigsaw. This tool will offer more power, run-time, new mechanisms, a higher blade speed, an upgraded blade clamp, and improved tool-free bevel adjustments. It is sad to see a great tool go, but in its place, it will be designed to exceed everything its predecessor did.
Two Options Are Better Than One
When you are cutting, some professionals prefer how a jigsaw fits in their hands. Team Red has allowed you to choose between the 2737-20 D-Shape Grip or the 2737B-20 Barrel Grip. We won’t gossip about which one is better, but an option to choose based on your work preference is preferred.
- How do you choose which one, though?
If working in small spaces is where you find yourself, then a barrel grip would be a preferred choice. The D-Handle is up your alley if you favor comfort and speed control. Either one you choose is an upgrade to any Carpenter, Remodeler, Electrician, or Maintenance & Repair professional.
What’s New About Them?
With improved battery efficiency, this tool can make it through a full day’s work on one charge. It can cut up to 105 ft. per charge and has the power to cut through hard materials like metal and hardwoods without bogging down and minimizing chipping and bucking with 3500 SPM for controlled straight and radius cuts that are clean.
Keeping the work area clean is always a big deal, but keeping the area scratch-free can sometimes be a problem. Milwaukee has added a shoe cover for smooth surface contact to prevent that issue. So, whether it is a client or your better half yelling at you about not damaging the surface, they can rest at ease that it will not.
What Does The D-Handle Jig-Saw Offer?
Here are the features demanded by customers and users who use this tool daily. On/Off blower switch to help save battery life, to help clear your line of sight for the cut, or if you hate having debris on your workspace. You can now turn this on and off at your leisure. Along with the LED light that illuminates your work area, you can work knowing your line is actual.
The tool offers a four-position orbital action and a variable speed trigger for more control over your cuts. The trigger allows you to adjust while cutting against rigid materials that need a little more power to get through. If you need to clear more material, crank the orbital to four, slow down your cut, ease up on the trigger, and adjust how you need to, you can quickly do it on the tool without wasting your time.
Speaking of saving you time, this Jig-Saw also has tool-less bevel adjustments and a blade clamp. You can change the angle of your cut and replace your blade without the intermediary tool. No more worries about losing it in your tool bag, on the job site, or forgetting it at home. With a few pulls, you can get your desired angle quickly, or with a simple turn, you can replace your dulling blade quickly.
What Does The Barrel Handle Jig-Saw Offer?
Like the D-Handle Jig-Saw, the Barrel Grip also has an on/Off Blower, LED lights, and a four-position orbital action. What is different about this tool is what sets it apart from the D-Handle.
Ambidextrous on/off switch allows the user to turn the tool on in any position. It would be best to start a cut in a less-than-usual position, no problem. Here is the solution: if you are a left-handed trade professional, always feel left out with all the molding catering to right-handed people.
Find the speed you need with the six-speed setting with Auto-Controlled start mode. The Auto-Controlled Start mode starts your tool slowly and ramps to full speed when the load is detected. The slow startup ensures a smooth and accurate cut start. Great for perfectionist workers who want their lines as clean and precise as possible.
- Both tools also have REDLINK Plus electronics, so your tool motor and the battery operate at maximum power and efficiency.
