This jigsaw is absolutely superb and if you want the a good model at a reasonable price then this is it.
Just below, we have also completed some summary reviews on each of these, so as you can see which is the best option for you.
Milwaukee Fuel Top Handle Jigsaw 18V Bare Unit
96% buyer satisfaction from over 200+ customer reviews
This is the best rated model we could find and it's at the mid to higher end of the price range.
It's a battery operated 18V model that comes without battery or charger
Measures 37 x 13.8 x 47.5 cm; 2.3 Kilograms and comes with a brushless motor. Alway better for performance and lifespan
There's an easy blade change and you can cut at up to 45 degrees
The LED light is handy, as is the dust blower that keeps the cutting line clear and visible. This is extremely useful when cutting
Stroke Length: 25mm Capacity: Wood 135mm, Metal 10mm: Bevel Capacity: 45 degrees
This is the most popular and also the highest rated model in the range, so it comes out as number one in our rankings. Personally I much prefer the M18BJS model below and thats the one I would recommend. There is not much difference in price and it cuts a lot better compared to this model.
Milwaukee M18BJS-0 18v Heavy-Duty Top Handle Jigsaw Body Only
94% buyer satisfaction from over 200+ customer reviews
This is a heavier duty model at 8.27 x 3.15 x 8.66 cm; 2.9 Kilograms that delivers delivers 2800 spm for fast cutting ( compared to 500 spm for the model above )
It's a battery operated 18V model that comes without battery or charger
It also has an LED light and blower
Stroke Length: 25mm. Capacity: Wood: 135mm, Metal: 10mm. Bevel Capacity: 45
Really this is just a faster version of the best selling model above and actually it's not that much more expensive. Well worth it if you are using a jigsaw regularly
This is definitely the model to go for if you are going to be using your jigsaw regularly. Compared the the other models in the range this one is well priced, can cut the same size of materials and has the fastest SPM or cutting speed. I also found it to be very comfortable to use and it's strong enough to take a bit of abuse.
Milwaukee 2445-20 M12 Jig Saw Tool Only
92% buyer satisfaction from over 1,000+ customer reviews
This model is heavier duty again and is built for professionals really
It has a 3/4" Stroke length & 0-2,800 SPM for fast and controlled cutting
There is a quick-Lok T-Shank blade clamp and tool-free 450 bevel capability with positive lock at 900
A handy LED Light and Fuel Gauge are included in the features
It measures 19.46 x 5.97 x 18.06 cm; 4.5 Kg
It's a 12V model that comes without battery or charger
Top quality in build and performance but I can't see why I would spend the extra money on this model. You may prefer this style of jigsaw but I can't see any real advantage in this model compared to the M18BJS. Also I much prefer 18V model tools as the battery is more powerful and lasts longer.
Milwaukee M12JS-0 M12 Naked Compact Jigsaw
90% buyer satisfaction from over 150+ customer reviews
A 12V entry level model thats small and lightweight
Measures 8.66 x 8.07 x 3.35 cm; 1.64 Kilograms
LED light included
Variable speed - electronic trigger provides user flexibility and control
Comes without battery or charger and works with all Milwaukee 12V batteries
Again I would prefer an 18V model but it will do a good job
This is a great entry level model that compares well to the more expensive models in what it will cut. It is well built and can do most jobs you might be doing around the house. I would say that it's an excellent choice to have in your tool box if you do a bit of DIY or need something reliable from time to time. Though it's not built for heavy duty or prolonged use hour after hour.
Milwaukee M18 BJS-0X Jigsaw Tool Only
90% buyer satisfaction from over 200+ customer reviews
This 18V model is one of the most expensive in the range
It has a no load speed: 0 - 2800 cpm with a stroke rate: 2700 cps/min
It can cut Wood: 135mm, Metal: 10mm. Bevel Capacity: 45, so that's really no better than any of the cheaper models
Comes without battery or charger
It also has an LED light and blower
If you like to buy the best then this is probably it. Great performance and a really robust tool. I'd say this is for the professional and probably a bit expensive for most users, but some peopl just have to have the top of the range. I don't see a massive advantage in spending the extra in this case.
A very quick video review
We have looked over all the video reviews and found this great short presentation on these tools. It gives you an instant idea of what to expect as well as telling you all the features and spec in and easy to understand format.
I hope you enjoy watching it as I always think its much better to see a tool in action rather than just reading about it or seeing pictures. This guy is particularly good at explaining the features and he is well known for demonstrating tools.
The Milwaukee Brand
The company began production in 1924, so these tools have been around for a long time and have been proven to be one of the premium brands. The parent company own Ryobi tools so they are a top quality manufacturer. Milwaukee have been developing innovative solutions that are one of the best rated for durability by professional construction users. Whether it is the 12 or 18V cordless systems, the performance is second to none. These tools are definitely built to last and are becoming very popular in the UK for tradesmen.
Milwaukee have worked side-by-side with real users to develop the best solutions for a safer, more productive jobsite. Through a proper evaluation of the end users needs, the various challenges encountered on a daily basis, they set out totally rethink a solution and deliver the game-changing innovation seen across all the product lines. Milwaukee Tool is not simply a manufacturer – they are progressive problem solvers.
I hope this has been some help to you. We also have articles on circular saws, electric power saws, Impact Drivers, Nail Guns and many more, if you don't think a jigsaw is what you need. Keep in mind all these tools are bare body so you will need a Milwaukee battery and charger. I always recommend buying the original battery with this level of quality tools, that's always the best option.
