Milwaukee M12 Hackzall Can it cut thick metal??

M12 hackzall cutting through a thick metal trailer ball. I couldn’t get it off with pliers so I had to try a different method. It cut it most of the way and was able to break it loose after that. Thanks for watching.

Maybe just a tad of cutting oil. Powerful little tool ain't it ? Thanks for the video 👍

Gotta rest that gate on the work, let it deal with the vibrations, and it’ll increase cutting efficiency.

Sweet baby Jesus it hurt to watch this

[Mattmazz]

If you had it mounted better it would have definitely helped

[cvaloura]

, that saw is a beast in the rite hands lol,

[Ethnosis]

Pipe wrench and a metal tube, or an impact. What were you thinking lol

[Toolboss]

Should’ve used a Diablo thick metal blade. Cut through like butter

I used the same tool recently, with a carbide blade, to cut some really hard steel. It took ages but the saw hardly slowed down: there's not much drag when cutting that sort of material so I suspect that, ironically, there will be less difference between saws than with timber or other softer materials where the blade gets properly stuck in.

Is that the right blade for metal? That seems wood blade..

[kartboarderg]

Grinder with a cutting disc and cut the nut in half or like someone else said buy an expensive socket for your impact.

[msarte]

What was the purpose of cutting it the nuts already loosen lol.

thank you for the video, I decide to refund M12 just order, I wll keep the ridgid subcompact, although it looks like not a compact but strong enough to cut through the nut you have in 3 min, I try it before. Your video show the M12 isn't enough power

You are saying you stripped the bolt, you literally had some mark on it, and you managed to konc off the edges a bit, but that bolt is far away from rounded. Any type point socket would have taken it out, when I say any make, I mean it.

[MichelOcampo]

Have you ever used a hackzall before? Godamn

[michaelbuchanan]

That's a wood cutting blade my friend.

[bradyfriday]

I'm really not surprised you stripped the nut. You have NO idea how tools work.

[mikekahotea]

I know the thicker the metal, the finer the blade with it's rigid durability, add some oil, firm gripping, right speed selection are good combination

[nobodynoone]

Looked like you needed some oil and a better blade.

Instead of cutting it off the Milwaukee M18 high torque 2767 would of zipped that nut right off! If your looking for a beast of a impact wrench the 2767 is the one! If your only on the M12 platform then the 3/8" or 1/2" stubby impact is an amazing little wrench! Basically good for anything up to 19mm and I live in the rust belt and it blast off rusty nuts and bolts!! 🤟

Lol smh pls hold the shoe against the surface it would of cut much
