Make long, straight cuts into steel sheets, structural framing, and other metal components. These handheld saws are good for longer cuts than chop saws. At a low speed, they’ll cut without burrs or excessive heat—no coolant required. They’ll also produce fewer sparks than saws with abrasive wheels. To keep your workspace clean, all can either blow metal chips out of the way or collect them during cutting.

Make long, straight cuts in metal anywhere on your site. These saws cut with the same power as an electric saw but don’t need to be near an outlet. They’re often used to trim panels and structural framing to size. Because they use a low speed, they make a smooth, burr-free cut and don’t require coolant. Compared to saws that use abrasive wheels to cut metal, these saws generate fewer sparks, too.

Some tools include rechargeable batteries. For other tools, batteries and chargers are sold separately.

Milwaukee 2982-20 saws have an indicator light to tell you when you’re pushing too hard. This allows you to optimize pressure for a smooth cut while reducing the risk of the saw kicking back. They protect against accidental starts since you have to pull the safety switch at the same time as the trigger. The brake stops the blade when you release the trigger, so you can quickly reposition your workpiece and move to your next cut. For a clean, safe workspace, a chip collector captures metal shards and chips.

With all the power of an electric saw but no cords, these saws rip, cross-cut, and make angled cuts in wood sheets and boards anywhere you need. They’re best for long cuts and for wood that’s too wide for a miter or chop saw. Shortly after you release the trigger, a brake stops the blade so you can quickly reposition your workpiece for the next cut. Their brushless motor optimizes battery usage, so these saws run longer on a single charge. It also enhances longevity—they run cool and have few moving parts that require maintenance.

Some saws include rechargeable batteries. For other saws, batteries and chargers are sold separately.

Saws with a dust blower clear away sawdust to keep your cut line visible. Saws with a dust extraction port can be hooked up to your dust collector to keep your work area and air clean.
