What reviewers say
Sourced tester consensus for each — the "what people who used it think" layer, not just specs.
Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-Handle Jig Saw (2737-20)
Only one whitelisted tester, Pro Tool Reviews, hands-on reviewed this exact Milwaukee M18 FUEL D-Handle jig saw (title covers the 2737-21 kit; the body identifies the bare tool as 2737-20). It scored 9.6/10, praising class-leading cutting speed and a comfortable grip, but flagged weak dust collection, no lock-on button, and no variable-speed dial. No measured benchmarks were published; other tool sites fell outside the whitelist. (1 sourced review.)
Praised: Cutting speed — clearly faster than DeWalt and Ridgid despite the same top SPM; Comfortable D-handle design, overmold grip, and easy-to-control cuts; Cutline blower off switch improves dust capture versus rivals.
Flagged: Dust collection leaves something to be desired; No lock-on button, a drawback on longer curved cuts; No variable-speed dial (two-finger trigger only).
