Milwaukee® Introduces the M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® Reciprocating Saw with ONE-KEY™app

Milwaukee® continues to revolutionise the reciprocating saw category with the introduction of the new M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® with ONE-KEY™.

Cutting faster than corded, the M18 FUEL™ SAWZALL® with ONE-KEY™ delivers over 40% more run time and 5X longer tool life – making it the most powerful 18V cordless reciprocating saw on the market. Compatible with ONE-KEY™**, users are able to customise the tool’s performance for unrivaled productivity, as well as track and manage the tool through the app.

Through ONE-KEY, users will be able to customise, track and manage their new SAWZALL®. Unlimited Tool Customisation within ONE-KEY allows users options to customise a variety of settings in managing the SAWZALL®’s output – including adjusting the speed for smoother cut starts, engaging an automatic cut brake to help prevent accidental cuts in materials, and optimising for longer blade life. This gives the user ultimate control to specifically set or adjust the speed for different materials beyond the variable speed trigger. They can create their own profile and, with the touch of a button on the tool, easily go back and forth between saved profiles so each application is done with the most accurate and productive settings. Once the tool is set, a phone is no longer needed. Users can also access available setups based on common applications and materials. (See table below this release for usage examples).“It’s been nearly 65 years since Milwaukee® first invented the recip saw, and since that time the SAWZALL® continues to lead the industry in durability and performance,” said Richard Powell, Product Manager for Milwaukee Tool. “With the renowned reputation and history of the SAWZALL®, coupled with Milwaukee®’s expertise and leadership in cordless technology, we’re proud to deliver a new SAWZALL® that gives users unbridled power and, through ONE-KEY, the ability to harness that performance for an even better experience. It’s the SAWZALL® like never seen before.”

 

ONE-KEY’s Integrated Tool Tracking functionality will make tracking the SAWZALL® as easy as pulling out a phone, allowing users to identify where and when their saw was last seen. With Simplified Tool and Equipment Management, users will also have a central place to take inventory of their SAWZALL® and all other tools and equipment, and keep detailed records of all inventory to easily build a budget and manage spend.

As with all M18 FUEL products*, the new SAWZALL® features three Milwaukee® - exclusive innovations - the POWERSTATE brushless motor, REDLITHIUM-ION 5.0 Ah battery pack and REDLINK PLUS intelligence hardware and software - to deliver unmatched performance, durability and run time.

Available from October 2016, the new M18 FUEL SAWZALL® with One-Key is a true testament to Milwaukee®’s focus on the user and investment in game changing technology. ONE-KEY’s capabilities will lead to more efficient work, better performance and consistently accurate results. And, as the program’s capabilities evolve, Milwaukee Tool will be able to deliver more features to a product even after it’s purchased – translating to invaluable productivity gains.

User Frustrations

Tool Control Solutions

 

Profile - Custom Cut Control

Starting cuts – The blade has a tendency to bounce on material which makes beginning a cut in metal difficult.

  • Soft start – Allow the user to program a lower starting speed for a specified time duration
    • Benefit for cutting dense & hard metals
  • Trigger ramp up – Allows user to program a consistent ramp from 0 SPM to selected max SPM
    • Benefit for softer materials [PVC & Plastics]

Accidental cuts - cutting materials not meant to be cut

  • Cut brake – Automatic brake allows users to set the saw to automatically stop the blade after it breaks through a material helping prevent accidental cuts in adjacent materials

 

Profile – Plunge Cut

Plunge cuts – If the blade does not bite during the initiation of a cut, it will cause the saw to jerk and make it difficult to break through when making cuts mid-material in wood.

  • Plunge cut allows the blade to penetrate the material at a slower speed and then automatically ramp to full speed.  Once the blade is through the material, the saw senses an increase in force and speeds up to meet desired speed.

 

Profile – Cut Optimisation

Accessory cost & consumption

  • Providing optimised and recommended cutting speed and blade style for each material extends blade life by up to 3x
  • Longer blade life results in fewer blade changes for the user

Damaging materials with aggressive cutting

  • Selecting material and blade type provides best cutting speed for each material – resulting in best in class cutting experience
