The Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw 2722-20 is a cordless reciprocating saw built for heavy demolition, rough-in work, and fast cutting across wood and metal. This is a reciprocating saw designed for aggressive demolition cutting and general-purpose jobsite tear-out. Model Number: 2722-20. If you want corded-type cutting performance but need the freedom of the M18 platform, this is the saw Milwaukee built for that job.

What matters here is how the numbers translate in real use. The POWERSTATE brushless motor delivers up to 3,000 strokes per minute, and the 1-1/4 inch stroke length means the blade covers more ground with each pass. That combination helps the saw cut faster in framing lumber, old subfloor, nail-embedded wood, and mixed-material demo where a short-stroke saw starts to feel slow.

Milwaukee also gave this saw the control features that make a big difference once you move between materials. The variable speed trigger lets you feather the cut at startup, while the 5-speed dial gives you a set range instead of relying only on trigger feel. Add the selectable on/off orbital action and you get a saw that can be tuned for faster wood cutting or smoother metal cutting depending on what is in front of you.

From a design standpoint, this is clearly a pro-grade demolition tool. The adjustable shoe helps extend blade life by letting you change contact points as the blade wears. The QUIK-LOK blade clamp gives you tool-free blade changes, which matters when you are swapping from a wood blade to a metal blade in the middle of a messy tear-out. Milwaukee also adds an integrated rafter hook, so you are not laying the saw on the floor or balancing it somewhere sketchy between cuts.

Jobsite practicality is strong here. An onboard LED light helps when you are cutting in basements, crawl spaces, under cabinets, or inside partially framed rooms. REDLINK PLUS intelligence is there to manage performance and protect the tool and battery from overload, overheating, and over-discharge during heavy applications. That is the kind of feature you notice less in the catalog than on the job, where repeated hard cuts can punish a saw fast.

The Milwaukee M18 FUEL SUPER SAWZALL Reciprocating Saw 2722-20 runs on the Milwaukee M18 battery system and is compatible with all M18 batteries. This bare tool does not include a battery or charger, so it makes the most sense for users already invested in M18. If you are already carrying M18 packs for drills, impacts, grinders, or lighting, adding this saw is easy.

Who is it for? Contractors, remodelers, plumbers, electricians, HVAC installers, and serious DIY users who need a real demolition saw, not a light-duty trim tool. If most of your work is pruning or occasional cleanup, this is more saw than you need. But if you regularly cut framing lumber, cast-offs, pipe, conduit, and old materials during renovation, this one earns its spot fast.
