One of These Is GARBAGE: Milwaukee M12 Jigsaw(s) Review

Somehow the Milwaukee M12 and M12 Fuel lineup simultaneously has both the WORST and the BEST jigsaws I have ever used. Can you guess which is which?

[@unholythree]

Informative, I appreciate the comparison. I certainly would have been disappointed with the plane Jane M12 jigsaw. Cordless doesn't help much if your saw won't cut worth a lick.

What's the battary life with the battary in the video ???

[@SpottedTongueWoodworking]

It was either a 1.5 or 2.0 battery, I don’t remember, so not too long. The new 2.5 battery has the same size but significantly longer life.

Will be the Perfect Jigsaw for me ! Awesome

there’s an allen key under the storage, take it out then look by the vacuum attachment you’ll see the allen wrench in the saw 👍🏼

[@SpottedTongueWoodworking]

Funny story- I was just using it yesterday and the Allen key fell out. Definitely feel like a fool for that one 🤦‍♂️

[@UKnohcho]

Thanks for helping me not to go for that cheaper one. Will buy the perfect one now

[@Radzio2006]

Damn thanks, ordering the fuel one !

[@CodyLeon]

The original jigsaw is an embarrassment from Milwaukee mine wiggles loose 9 times out of 10 its almost been thrown at the wall many time, glad to see the fuel im excited to pick one up

[@SpottedTongueWoodworking]

Right? I can’t believe they’ve kept it in the lineup all these years. The new fuel version is incredible. Probably my favorite jigsaw across both the m12 and m18 lineups

m12 installation driver needs an update.

[@SpottedTongueWoodworking]

It’s definitely getting old, especially compared to the drills and impacts that keen getting updated, but it is still a fantastic tool in its own right

This is why you don't get people on ur site. Talking negative of these great tools. These are not something for the construction guy these are for the diyer and nothing more. Course when you pay thousands for high end tool then these are useless to you..

[@SpottedTongueWoodworking]

Thanks for the feedback. Just to be clear- there’s a REALLY REALLY good M12 jigsaw. There is also a REALLY REALLY bad M12 jigsaw. You are more than welcome to waste your money on a REALLY bad tool because “DIY”. However, the M12 lineup is very specifically aimed at the trades, especially trim carpentry and cabinetry

I think you are lost friend. Your comment makes no sense.
