Which one of these blades should I get for cutting metal in the engine compartment and rear trunk area of my 914?

I have the Milwaukee. Indestructable. I like the trigger on it. Its smooth and progressive, so you can get just the right speed.

My Milwaukee has the quick release blade feature and variable speed dial on the handle. Corded...full power.
Best demo blade is "the Axe". comes in three lengths. it's for wood with nails, but I helped cut a car into small bits with it. KT

Those "Axe" blades are awsome! Only problem with them, is that they dont fit alot of saws other than a Millwaukee. Because they are too thick.

I've gone thru alot of tools, some good some not so good. The Sawzall I originally bought 20 years ago was a Milwaukee and I haven't looked back. In fact all my newer purchases are Milwaukee tools. Go w/ the corded Sawzall, and if you need a great screw gun, buy the Milwaukee 18v drill/ hammerdrill. Then you can go on ebay and there are alot of 18v sawzalls and circular saws for sale cheap w/o batteries and charger to give you a nice cordless collection.

I recommend either DeWalt or Milwaukee! I have both, but for some reason I use the DeWalt 99% of the time. The best Metal cuttin blades that I found were "The Torch" by Milwaukee. I have used them several times while cutting out old Radiator heating pipes out of 2 of my houses!

I have a corded Milwaukee and a 18v cordless Ryobi. The Milwaukee has better power, but the Ryboi is fine for quickie jobs when I'm away from line power.

Porter Cable, corded and it has a thumbwheel that allows you to insert/release saw blades. This mechanism prevents the blade from falling out. I've tried Dewalt, Sears and Ridgid and the blades tend to fall out at the worst times! I demo'ed and rebuilt my house and garage with a Porter Cable, it never failed me!

Anyone try the Porter Cable Tiger Saw variable angle? It has a head which allows the blade assmbly to be rotated and angled relative to the main handle assembly. Seems like it would solve the problem of getting the blade in between joists or other tight spots. Model number is 9750...price appears to be around the $200 mark....
I am going to buy one unless anyone suggest they are not as good an idea as it appears to be.... Dennis
