New Milwaukee Sawzalls 6509-31 & 6519-31


Milwaukee takes great pride in the fact that they invented the Sawzall recip saw almost 60 years ago. They really don’t like it when anyone else makes a competitive saw so naturally they are constantly updating and coming out with different versions to be more powerful, durable, lighter, cheaper, faster or some combination thereof. The two new models are both 12 amp models where the 6509-31 has a ¾” stroke and 6519-31 has the 1-1/8” stroke. These should replace the current 6509-22 11 amp models and be similar in price, maybe $120-130 range. The new saws feature a gear protecting clutch to extend the life of saw, counter weight to decrease vibration and claims a 2x faster cut time (not sure what that is comparing). We haven’t gotten an exact date on the release but it should be soon. It will be interesting to see how these perform vs the larger Sawzalls. More info and pricing will be available soon, in the mean time checkout all the Milwaukee Tools on Ohio Power Tool. Full Milwaukee press Release below.

MILWAUKEE, WI – Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation introduces new SAWZALL® Recip Saws that reinforce the legendary durability and performance that has made the MILWAUKEE® SAWZALL® the industry leader for over 50 years. Available in a 1-1/8” stroke length (6519-31) and 3/4” stroke length (6509-31), the new recip saws cut up to 2X faster, last up to 2X longer, and are the most powerful tools in their class.

“Milwaukee invented the recip saw in 1951, and the SAWZALL® has dominated the category since its inception,says Rick Gambaccini, Group Product Manager-Corded Products of Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation. “Nothing on the market cuts faster or lasts longer than the MILWAUKEE® SAWZALL® and we continue to lead the industry by offering innovative solutions that increase user productivity.”

With this introduction, Milwaukee will now offer both a 3/4” and a 1-1/8”stroke length powered by a 12 Amp motor. Catering to specific user applications, the shorter 3/4” stroke length is ideal for better control in tight areas, while the longer 1-1/8”stroke length delivers more aggressive cuts for heavy demolition

In addition, a patented gear protecting clutch extends gear and motor life by absorbing high impact forces and the Quik-Lok® blade clamp offers fast tool-free blade changes. To provide greater user comfort, a counter-weighted mechanism reduces vibration for smoother operation and a redesigned front grip area provides best in class ergonomics.

The 6519-31 and 6509-31 join a legendary line of MILWAUKEE® corded products that continue to offer unmatched durability and reliability. Milwaukee’s commitment to best-in-class durability is backed by the MILWAUKEE® Heavy-Duty 5-year warranty.
