The Hatchet was ?built for tight spaces?. Milwaukee has once again taken reciprocating saws to a new level with this tool. The Hatchet features a six position pivoting handle, making it the most compact, unique, reciprocating saw on the market. Only 13 in. when fully pivoted, the Hatchet easily fits between 16 in. on center studs and between rafters and joists. This tool is designed to get into those confined areas that no other saw can reach, corded or cordless! It is the ONLY cordless reciprocating saw to feature orbital action, perfect for aggressive wood cutting, or simply switch it into straight reciprocating action for cutting metals and plastics.

The high torque required for tough cutting applications is supplied by the Milwaukee built, rare-earth, permanent magnet motor. Producing an impressive 0-2,700 strokes per minute, the Hatchet cuts up to 85 2x4's on a single charge! The Milwaukee exclusive reversible battery pack, together with a keyless adjustable shoe and 3/4 in. stroke length, makes the Hatchet the ultimate tool for remodel, general construction and demolition work. The steel quik-lok blade clamp accepts universal 1/2 in. shank Sawzall blades without the need of a hex key. Blade clamp will accept blades upside down for close quarter cutting.

The 2.4 amp hour battery delivers more run time and is compatible/interchangeable with all other Milwaukee 18 volt Power Plus tools. The universal one-hour charger can be used to charge any Milwaukee Power Plus Battery.

The Hatchet is an essential tool for HVAC contractors, plumbers, electricians, maintenance workers and remodelers. Includes Hatchet, 2.4 amp-hour battery pack, carrying case, universal charger and 2-blade pack.
