Milwaukee M18 FUEL Super Sawzall Reciprocating Saw 2722-20 Tool Only

The Milwaukee 2722-20 M18 FUEL Super Sawzall is a brushless reciprocating saw engineered to match the cutting performance of a 15A corded saw on the M18 battery platform. The POWERSTATE Brushless Motor delivers 3,000 SPM with higher speeds maintained under load, and the 1-1/4" stroke length removes more material per stroke than standard reciprocating saws. Selectable on/off orbital action provides aggressive cutting in wood and smooth cuts in metal. Variable speed trigger and a 5-speed dial give precise control across all applications. Milwaukee rates this saw at up to 150 cuts in 2×12 SPF lumber per charge with an M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 battery. REDLINK PLUS intelligence protects against overload, overheating, and over-discharge. Tool only — battery and charger sold separately. 5-year limited warranty.

Key Features

• POWERSTATE Brushless Motor — 3,000 SPM with sustained high speed under load; delivers 15A corded cutting performance on the M18 platform
• 1-1/4" Stroke Length — Removes more material per stroke for faster cuts through thick stock
• Selectable On/Off Orbital Action — Orbital mode for aggressive wood cutting; off for smooth cuts in metal and pipe
• Variable Speed Trigger + 5-Speed Dial — Full speed control from trigger sensitivity to a preset speed dial for repeatable cutting conditions
• QUIK-LOK Blade Clamp — Toolless blade changes in any orientation
• Adjustable Shoe — Extends blade life by shifting the cutting zone along the blade
• LED Work Light — Illuminates the cut line for accuracy in low-light conditions
• Integrated Rafter Hook — Hang the saw between cuts for convenient hands-free storage on the job
• REDLINK PLUS Intelligence — Overload, overheat, and over-discharge protection for tool and battery
• Up to 150 Cuts in 2×12 SPF per Charge — Tested with M18 REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 battery
• 5-Year Limited Warranty

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between the Milwaukee Super Sawzall (2722-20) and the standard M18 FUEL Sawzall (2821-20)?
The Super Sawzall (2722-20) is Milwaukee’s highest-output M18 reciprocating saw, purpose-built to match 15A corded performance. It features a longer 1-1/4" stroke versus the standard Sawzall’s shorter stroke, a 5-speed dial in addition to the variable speed trigger, selectable orbital action, and is paired with the HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 battery for maximum run time. The standard M18 FUEL Sawzall (2821-20) is lighter and more compact, better suited for general trade work, while the Super Sawzall is optimized for high-volume cutting in demanding applications like demolition, large-diameter pipe, and structural lumber.

Does orbital action matter for utility and arborist work?
Yes — orbital action significantly affects cut speed and blade life depending on the material. With orbital action ON, the blade moves in an elliptical path, which is faster and more aggressive in wood, green lumber, and soft materials but causes accelerated blade wear in hard materials. For cutting through wood, limbs, or structural members, orbital ON delivers faster results. For cutting metal conduit, pipe, rebar, or hardware, turn orbital action OFF for a straight, smoother cut that preserves blade life and produces a cleaner kerf.

Is the battery included with this listing?
No — the 2722-20 is the tool-only version and does not include a battery or charger. You will need a compatible M18 battery (any M18 pack works, but Milwaukee recommends the REDLITHIUM HIGH OUTPUT HD12.0 for maximum performance from the Super Sawzall). If you need a battery and charger bundle, look for the 2722-21HD kit which includes the HD12.0 battery and charger.

What blades are compatible with the Super Sawzall?
The Super Sawzall accepts all standard reciprocating saw blades with the universal shank design. Milwaukee’s own TORCH and AX blade lines are optimized for demanding applications — TORCH with carbide teeth for demolition and nail-embedded wood, AX for general wood and metal cutting. Third-party blades with the standard shank are also compatible. For utility and arborist work cutting green wood, hardwood, or mixed debris, Milwaukee’s wood-optimized blades with aggressive tooth geometry will outperform general-purpose blades.
