I’m an auto mechanic, and occasionally need to cut a part off (shock muffler etc) I’m debating between an air saw or cordless saw. I have milwaukee, I need something compact so m12 saw would most likely fit the description but does it have enough power? I looked at snap ons air saw and it was like 300 bucks, I’m just looking for something that works. I’m considering ir as well

Unless a tool truck air saw is vastly superior, I’m not looking to spend insane money on a sawzall, just need something that will work for most things. Will almost use it at work exclusively so air is looking to be a better option

I'm an auto mechanic as well and my m12 fuel is great for this type of work. Mufflers, smaller bolts, brake chamber rods, etc. As long as you are able to keep the workpiece somewhat steady she will cut through no lroblem. I just cut a piece of 1 inch key stock yesterday without much fuss. For best results use the shoe of the saw as a brace to keep the saw from vibrating.

I'm generally not able to use too much of the outer end of a sawblade because the M12 fuel only has a 5/8 stroke. If you're wanting to cut without using the shoe of the saw you'll want a m18 fuel hackzall (7/8 inch) or sawzall (1-1/8 inch) with a longer stroke.
