Hard Test on Milwaukees NEW concrete saw

What happens here

After the initial horizontal cut, inspect the battery status of the Milwaukee saw. The first battery is almost depleted, indicating a shorter run time compared to a full tank of gas. Recharge the first battery (approximately 30 minutes) and use the second fully charged battery for further testing. For the second horizontal test, both saws cut through concrete embedded with rebar. This condition further tests the saws' power and durability. The Milwaukee saw continues to perform well in terms of power, maintaining cuts even through metal reinforcement. However, the battery runtime remains a key limitation, with approximately 15-20 linear feet of cut per battery in this challenging scenario.

Goal: Assess battery runtime and saw performance when cutting concrete with rebar.

Tools and materials

Dust Mask — Protecting against concrete and metal dust inhalation
Ear Protection — Protecting hearing from loud saw noise
Milwaukee MX FUEL Charger Milwaukee — To recharge depleted batteries
Milwaukee MX FUEL XC Batteries Milwaukee — To power the Milwaukee saw; multiple batteries are needed due to runtime
Safety Glasses — Protecting eyes from debris
Concrete with Rebar N/A — The material being cut during the test

we'll see how they do that first cut used up the majority of the first battery so i switched to the second battery for this second cut but what i discovered is that this is about all it can cut before you need to recharge the battery which takes approximately 30 minutes so milwaukee is claiming that they can cut six linear feet what i found out is that they can probably cut in the case like we're doing here about 15 to 20 linear feet before the battery is completely now this concrete also has rebar embedded throughout it so as we're cutting through the concrete we're also cutting through the rebar [Music] thought i'm really impressed it doesn't gyroscope i noticed no you don't get that you don't get the torque with it he wasn't sure honestly i wasn't sure how much i was really going to like that battery on the top but what i'm finding out is that weight on the top you really don't have to do anything yeah you know you're just walking behind it i i really like the wheels on there that's an ingenious size that was a great idea right because literally with that battery with the weight of the battery on the top and the wheels the saw is doing all the work right just walking behind it yep yeah i noticed that too i like that you know you got that full powered like three seconds i i think it okay one
