Milwaukee Folding Jaw Saw

[Zinc2005]

Today I bought a Milwaukee Mini Hack Saw, Regular Milwaukee Jab Saw, and Milwaukee Folding Jab Saw that takes Sawzall blades. (Regular Jab Saw not pictured)



I really like the idea of being able to cover the majority of range of both the hacksaw and the regular jab saw with the folding jab saw. Also it is very convenient how this thing folds up so neatly.

Is this realistic? Anyone had one of these for a while? Can it cover drywall work as well as the occasional pipe cut or do I really need to own a dedicated mini hack saw and dedicated fixed jab saw?

Thanks! My tool bag is almost complete based on your feedback!

I don't know about the Milwaukee, but the Stanley/Klein/Lenox/maybe others Pocket Saw has been the one that rides in my toolbox ADED for decades. It also uses Sawzall blades, and stores 2 or 3 spares in the handle. If I were doing nothing but drywall all day, I might be inclined to go with a dedicated drywall saw for rigidity of the tool and the thicker blades. But for versatility, you can't beat the kind that takes Sawzall blades.
Now I gotta look up that Milwaukee folder. I have one of the straight Milwaukees but never use it because it doesn't fold.

I'm an electrician and I have the Milwaukee folding jab saw. I use it for drywall just about exclusively. I use these blades in it:

Greenlee jab saw blades

I have their actual jab saw, blade looks really similar to that Greenlee blade. Non folding though (and it hurts!). Probably should've gotten the folding one.
