The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Running on Milwaukee's battery platform, the 2621-20 reaches 3,000 RPM and handles the framing lumber, copper pipe, and conduit cuts that define most demo and remodel workflows. Cordless operation means no extension cord on the jobsite, which is the primary reason buyers choose it over a corded alternative at a similar price.
At 7.7 pounds and 15.1 inches long, the 2621-20 sits in the mid-size class. The metal construction and 6.3-inch capacity cover standard 2x4 lumber and pipe, though the depth will constrain cuts on thicker engineered members. The tool ships without a battery, so total cost depends on what is already in the toolbox.
A 4.8-star rating from 1,800 verified reviews and 200 units sold per month demonstrate steady demand from contractors and committed DIYers who value the Milwaukee battery ecosystem.
Pros
- 4.8-star rating from 1,800 reviews reflects consistent buyer satisfaction over time
- 3,000 RPM suits most framing lumber, pipe, and general demo applications
- Battery operation offers full cordless freedom across the jobsite
- 7.7-pound weight is manageable for one-handed and overhead cutting
- Metal construction supports durability in rough job-site conditions
Cons
- 6.3-inch cutting capacity limits performance on thick engineered lumber or large-diameter pipe
- Sold tool-only at $149.00, meaning battery and charger add to total cost for new users
- No voltage figure is published in the listing specs
