Hard Test on Milwaukees NEW concrete saw

We Test Milwaukees new Concrete saw against our favorite gas saw- the Husqvarna K-770 to see what it can do.

[@raulruizrivera5642]

Not gonna lie 6 Linear feet is kind of a joke

[@jakef1998]

Thats what I was thinking, when I put the relief cuts in my driveways, i usually have to make 3-5 20ft cuts.

Good attempt, however looks like the gas saw is superior

[@haraldreaper976]

6 linear feet at full depth

[@raulruizrivera5642]

I always use the water hook up on mine keeps the blade cool and you dont get dust i have a sthil the best saw i have used

[@FishFind3000]

It’s also an osha requirement to use the water.

[@bradcoddington1679]

I have a sthil saw and its a piece of crap can never get it to start.

[@FishFind3000]

@@bradcoddington1679 stihl has a special start procedure, if you fail to follow it it will almost always flood. Try this next time. Prime till full put on full choke pull till engine burps(ei first sign of any starting) if you continue to pull it will flood put on high idle pull till starts always works for me and i have 6 pieces of stihl equipment from trimmers, blowers, saws. Always worked for me this way. That is how they tell you to do it in the owners manual. good luck

Many OH&S types are now looking at excavations as a type of confined space due to the introduction of exhaust. No exhaust, equals no confined space.

[@ron1martens]

Love it. I'm sure if you cut wet will be better overall right? Also no fumes. Imagine cutting in pits. It will definitely be a plus using the battery unit.

[@trenttaylor1691]

I don’t think the water makes much difference for cutting but water definelty is good to keep the dust down, I don’t think il be buying one of these I mean it’s pretty awesome for a homeowner doin a little pad for a Neihbour

[@paullarson9734]

I would like to take this to the test at a concrete company i used to work for. think it would be interesting to see. we used the husqvarna K-970 to cut precast concrete for buildings. good test to do i think.

Ya that was awesome!

[@giraffemeat44]

Picked one up in a show room at a rental company, weighs as much as a boat anchor. Fully gassed stihl ts420 and ts 500i weigh less then these fully fueled. I know it’s revolutionary, I know it won’t happen tomorrow but if you need production this isn’t the saw. Even husqvarna offers a corded saw for minimal emission conditions and its heavier but can run all day not for fractions of an hour. Balance is everything and their decades behind the competitors in ergonomics and effectiveness.

[@PatrickPecoraro]

The husky corded saw kept throwing a 15amp breaker really should have a 20amp plug on it.

[@augustreil]

Maybe mark on each blade with a marker for the depth, also I'm sure Sam could fab up a set of mini wheels for the husky. Thumbs up !

[@ConstructionMachineryChannel]

I'd love to get one of these, tired of installing Holland pavers using a masonry blade on a miter saw. 👍

[@cameronabrams3285]

Just use a regular gas saw. The masonry company I work for has TS410s, 420s and a TS500i, and they have never missed a beat, and they're all used all day long (we have an apprentice who damn near never stops making cuts haha). The landscape companies near me all use TS410s and 420s for cutting pavers.

[@mopar2513]

Not a real test 🤦‍♂️I cut concrete for a living .. and no they did not cut any bar at all .. you would of seen sparks ⚡️ and to give it a real test cut all the way through the concrete with water 💦

hint for cutting concrete slab. place saw on its feet. tip it forward burying blade in to concrete to full depth. slide saw forward dragging on the feet. it takes on hand to cut the other just rest on the front handle for safety in case it kicks.

[@calfeggs]

What would be much nicer in my opinion is if they had a backpack battery, that way the saw could be made much lighter maybe even lighter in hand than the gas while increasing run time.

[@PorkChops1814]

That is a good idea

[@tonysylvester721]

For a minute, it looked like something you would ride.😎

[@jmackinjersey1]

Next time you do a horizontal cut, try resting your elbow/tricep in your rib cage for support. Also, where was the water to control the dust?

[@jamiedyer7782]

Good idea so when it kicks back it breaks your ribs as you fall over and the blade goes in your neck 👍🏻 you shouldn't cut above shoulder height as there is nowhere for the saw to go if it kicks up it will come out your hands

[@E69apeTheMatrix420]

It's a good stepping stone to for whats to come in the future. It's heavy, bulky, no e brake, lots of battery's needed just for a mornings work. Power needed to charge battery's all the time. Gen 3 will be much better

[@vacexpert2020]

My local FD just got a Milwaukee chop saw, we did a race shortly after we got it, we lit 2 shipping containers full of old gas and diesel that couldn't be run in vehicles or equipment stored in old fuel containers that either leaked or had other problems and couldn't be used, all around the fuel containers was hay and straw that vermin had ruined, they were set ablaze and after 30 seconds 2 teams ran forth to gain access and extinguish the flames, one had a Stihl K12 saw, the other had the Milwaukee, neither had fuel/batteries in but there was fuel/batteries on the truck and neither had been started at all that day in order to show worst case scenario, both were also in their respective storage compartments, team Milwaukee had their fire under control by the time team Stihl got the saw working, keep in mind it had just been tuned up by the local Stihl dealer, so it was running as best as it could, needless to say when that K12 got dropped through the roof of a structure a week later the neighboring FD got all new Milwaukee equipment and sold all their Stihl equipment, needless to say we now can have you out of your car in 2 minutes flat no matter the condition of the car

[@brian5128]

You need to test the stihl concrete chainsaw

[@caseybolen4107]

Looks like a solid saw but battery life leaves something to be desired.

[@misterbulger]

I always cut to full depth first go. The blade can warp cutting shallow and it can cause it to chip your nice clean cut. Find a 4" blade if youre just gonna cut a joint. Always use the smallest blade needed for the job. I get far more use out of my smaller slab saws than the big diesel saw for this reason. Even more important with a handheld since its less steady your chance of it chipping is even more.

[@daytonadub2206]

Its seems that it's more for convenience, inside a house something small...... NO BETTER SAW than that husky! Period, I did put small wheels on mine which works great for what we do when cutting our driveways, most of the time we cut on a diagonal, but you can cut super straight and it keeps the saw straight up and down. great video though coming from some Florida concrete Guys!!!! STAY HYDRATED!!!!! #ALTITUDE ADJUSTMENT

Battery is 600 bucks each plus the saw and didnt last very long.

[@andrews5926]

[@jmackinjersey1]

I think where this saw will really outshine the gas is in a location, like a basement or other enclosed area, where exhaust fumes are an issue.

[@Migman2020]

If you watch the booth videos that is what they said its intended for. So we cant really moan about the lack of run time

[@jmackinjersey1]

@@Migman2020 That and the fact that you can easily change out the batteries and charge that one, or simply have a few on hand. Yes, they are a little pricey, but I believe they will pay for themselves in the long run with lack of maintenance and no need to buy/mix fuel and oil etc. You can get a little more initial run time out of the gas powered unit, but if you are doing a long run like an entire block, or a huge area, like a parking lot, then you'd be better off getting a walk behind machine, or an attachment for a skid steer or other machine. These are also great for cutting concrete culverts and drain pipes.

[@adeptronic]

I tend to agree however there are electric concrete saws that are cheaper and lighter. I would probably go electric inside a house.

[@blakehorn229]

This saw isn't meant for the work they are doing. It is specifically for indoor cuts...and most of the time you're not running long cuts in remod situations unless the designer you hired is green. We just picked one of these up to cut out the cutting company who stopped bringing out a helper to bring in their equipment but upped their rates...(so we are supplying a 25/hr general laborer to sit around from 8 am until whenever they decide to show up...2 days ago that happened to be 1pm...so after making the cut and getting equipment out at 3pm I not only paid the company their higher rate than last year but on top of that paid our guy to sit around doing nothing for 5 hours then another 3 til he could roll out. With that, this tool will pay for itself in 3 jobs max and we won't have to worry about damaging walls or floors when the cutters bring in their stuff and take it out. We design our bathrooms in basements to be within 10 feet or less of a main stack...so with our cross cuts and max span we will need 2 battery's to get the job done, will have zero downtime waiting for the sub to show up and will waste zero man hours having a laborer wait around and help lug around their 200lb saw/cart. This is perfect for remodeling situations where you can't run with fumes and even better when you don't have power on site. If you're doing 20 foot cuts at 4"+ on the regular then go elsewhere but we rarely have runs that long and if we do...we will call the sub to handle it and deal with the downtime as needed 😂

[@nursenic03]

[@brandondavis6939]

Sthls will be better

[@ron1martens]

Barron Kistler. I have the cordless stihl. It's very good and real accurate. The noise is very low. I put masking tape on a paver and it cuts to the line very easy. The battery won't cut the length they are cutting on one charge. It's 230 mm blade which is nine inch. I mean how much cutting do people make in one day? They don't cut all day so having three batteries and using water has to be better, more quiet and not smelling fumes. Those masks won't do anything to protect anyone from exposure to poison from the gas saw.

[@jeremynguyen2346]

@@ron1martens what are some tips when using a concrete saw

[@tucobenedicto109]

Great for concrete horizontal. If you were cutting 2" metal pipe on the wall above your head lit would be cumbersome. How about asphalt test?

[@JGrizzel]

Good review, however concrete cutting is measured in Inch Feet, so i believe Milwaukee was saying there's would cut 30 in feet [6 feet at 5 inches depth], so it looks like you were cutting about 2" depth which would be 30 to 40 in feet from what you said. The problem people encounter with battery powered saws, is burying it full depth [5"], that will kill battery life. So step cutting at 1.5-2" is the best way to maximize battery life.

[@rebel1333frank]

[@bogdanmarkovic]

Why haven’t you used a water during cutting when obviously there was a house nearby? You maybe even have that Milwaukee cordless water sprayer. I mean it would make much less dust as well as prolong the life of diamond blade.

[@coffeebuzzz]

In Australia, dry cutting is virtually banned. Silicosis is just as bad as asbestosis and those pissy little disposable P2s are virtually useless. If I came out and saw my car covered in concrete dust because of nearby construction I would have chewed his arse and demanded he pay for a car detail.

It seems like the gas is the real winner. Having to change batteries that frequently doesnt make sense to me. At $1000 more than its gas counterpart the value just isnt there in my opinion.

[@FishFind3000]

Plus $600 per battery

[@timothybayliss6680]

A new 70cc hilti is almost $1200 less and comes with diamond blades. The Milwaukee I was looking at also only had one battery. The cost benefit is crap. We have a Milwaukee chainsaw at work and the first thing you have to do is throw the .041 chain in the bin and put a proper .050 chain on it. The second thing you have to do is go get your Stihl because the battery is flat and the 12ah m18 battery takes almost four hours to charge. I have a Greenworks 40v 16" chainsaw and four batteries. With electric saws you will pay attention to how sharp your chain is all the time. This is a good idea horribly executed.

My conclusion is that gas is still superior, but Milwakee did an AWESOME flex with that tool. I can see it being useful to make cuts on block, but if you don’t have a power source to keep the batteries charged up, then you’re out of luck unless you like hauling a generator and extra gas around. The best thing I got out of this video is that badass saw blade and a website to go to

[@joshuaparsons5720]

I don't know about longevity being a joke. I've owned this saw for almost 2 years now and it hasn't let me down yet. Battery lasts about 45 mins on full charge yeah it could be better but not having to breath in gas fumes all day in a confined space is a big plus
