Milwaukee® Jigsaws: What You Need to Know
Milwaukee®'s jigsaw lineup spans two battery platforms, M12 and M18, with three distinct models designed for different job-site demands. Wholesale buyers can source these through suppliers like GenuineTools or directly from Milwaukee at trade-friendly pricing, making it practical to stock up for crews or resale inventory.
Some models ship as bundles with accessories included, while others come as tool-only SKUs, ideal when your team already owns compatible batteries and chargers. Here's how each model breaks down so you can buy the right mix at volume.

Milwaukee® M18 FUEL D-Handle Jig Saw (2737-20)
GenuineTools holds the Milwaukee® 2737-20 jigsaw as a tool-only option.
The Milwaukee® 2737-20 is available as a bundle or tool-only. Its bundle ships with an Anti-Splinter Guard, Dust Collection Tube, Dust Cover, Hex Wrench, and Shoe Guard.
This jigsaw runs on the M18 platform, which means it's compatible with over 250 tools in Milwaukee®'s ecosystem. If your crew is already M18-based, adding the 2737-20 in bulk is a seamless expansion with zero new battery infrastructure required.
Key Specs Buyers Need to Know
- Battery: 18V Lithium-Ion (M18 compatible, not included)
- Motor: POWERSTATE™ Brushless
- Max Stroke Speed: 3,500 SPM (variable speed trigger)
- Stroke Length: 1 inch
- Bevel Capacity: 45°
- Blade Type: T-shank
- Runtime (with M18 REDLITHIUM XC 5.0Ah): Up to 105 linear feet in laminated particle board
- LED: Yes, illuminates cut line
- Warranty: 5-year tool warranty
Price
The 2737-20 tool-only option is available at GenuineTools for $114.99, well below the typical retail price for cordless jigsaws in this class. For wholesale buyers ordering multiple units for a crew or resale inventory, that per-unit savings adds up fast across a volume order.
Milwaukee® M18 FUEL Barrel Grip Jig Saw (2737B-20)
The Milwaukee® 2737B-20 has the same top speed and battery as the 2737-20.
The Milwaukee® 2737B-20 shares the same POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor and 3,500 SPM top speed as the 2737-20, but the grip style is where these two diverge completely. The Barrel Grip design places your hand directly in line with the blade's cutting path, giving users better visibility and control, particularly on overhead cuts or tight-radius work where a D-handle would feel awkward.
Key Specs Buyers Need to Know
- Battery: 18V Lithium-Ion (M18 compatible, not included)
- Motor: POWERSTATE™ Brushless
- Max Stroke Speed: 3,500 SPM
- Stroke Length: 1 inch
- Bevel Capacity: 45°
- Blade Type: T-shank
- Cordless/Corded: Cordless
- Color: Red/Black
The Barrel Grip configuration is particularly popular with trim carpenters and finish workers who need that direct sightline to the blade tip. When buying in bulk for a specialized crew, this grip style can meaningfully reduce fatigue and rework during precision cuts, making it worth considering even if the 2737-20 seems like the default choice.
One thing to note for wholesale buyers: the 2737B-20 ships as a tool-only unit, meaning no battery or charger is included. However, it ships with an Anti-Splinter Guard, Dust Collection Tube, Dust Cover, Hex Wrench, and Shoe Guard — essentially the same accessory set as the 2737-20.
Price
The 2737B-20 tool-only option is available at GenuineTools for $159.99, a competitive price for a barrel grip cordless jigsaw with POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor performance.
Milwaukee® M12 FUEL Jig Saw (2545-20)
Unlike the other jigsaws on this list, the Milwaukee® 2545-20 runs on a 12V platform.
Don't underestimate the M12 FUEL Jig Saw (2545-20) just because it runs on a 12V platform. This jigsaw is built to cut hard materials, including hardwoods, metals, and PVC, making it far more capable than its compact size suggests. For trades that work in tight spaces, elevated positions, or situations where tool weight matters over a long shift, the 2545-20 is a legitimate workhorse that holds its own on real job sites.
It's also a smart wholesale pick for operations that are already invested in the M12 ecosystem. Milwaukee®'s M12 platform covers over 125 tools, so any existing M12 REDLITHIUM batteries your crew already owns will power this saw directly, no new charging infrastructure needed. That cross-compatibility is one of the strongest arguments for buying Milwaukee® in volume: your battery investment compounds across every tool you add.
Key Specs Buyers Need to Know
- Battery: 12V Lithium-Ion (M12 compatible, not included)
- Motor: POWERSTATE™ Brushless
- Max Stroke Speed: 3,000 SPM (5-position variable speed dial)
- Stroke Length: 7/8 inch
- Blade Type: T-shank
- Bevel Capacity: 45°
- Compatible Platform: M12 (125+ tools)
- Included Accessories: Dust Cover, Splinter Guard, Shoe Cover, Vacuum Hose Adapter, Hex Wrench (battery and charger not included)
- Materials: Cuts hardwood, metal, synthetic materials, PVC
- Warranty: 5-year tool warranty
Price
The 2545-20 is comparably priced to the M18 FUEL D-Handle model, with tool-only options available around $199 from major retailers, below the 2737B-20's standard retail of around $229. For wholesale buyers who need capable saws without the full M18 price tag, that per-unit cost makes the M12 FUEL a practical choice when stocking up for finish work and detail crews.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is the difference between the Milwaukee® 2737-20 and 2737B-20 jig saws?
The 2737-20 is a D-Handle jig saw, and the 2737B-20 is a Barrel Grip jig saw. Both run on the M18 platform with the same POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor at 3,500 SPM. The real difference is ergonomics: the D-Handle suits standard cutting tasks, while the Barrel Grip puts your hand inline with the blade for better sightlines on precision or overhead work.
Can I mix Milwaukee® M18 and M12 batteries across tools bought in bulk?
No, M18 and M12 batteries are not cross-compatible. If you're buying a mix of the 2737-20 or 2737B-20 alongside the 2545-20, you'll need to manage two separate battery ecosystems. Within each platform, though, any M18 or M12 REDLITHIUM battery will power the corresponding jig saw regardless of capacity (XC 5.0Ah, compact packs, etc.).
Does Milwaukee® make a 12-volt jigsaw?
Yes. The Milwaukee® M12 FUEL Jig Saw (2545-20) runs on the M12 platform and cuts hardwood, metal, PVC, and synthetic materials with POWERSTATE™ Brushless Motor technology, the same platform used across Milwaukee®'s FUEL lineup. It's sold as a tool-only SKU, so any M12 REDLITHIUM battery your crew already owns will power it right out of the box. For bulk buyers or contractors who need a lighter saw for finish work, tight spaces, and overhead cuts, the 2545-20 is a capable option at a lower price point than the M18 FUEL lineup.
Is M12 or M18 better in Milwaukee®?
It depends on the application. M18 delivers more power, higher stroke speeds (3,500 SPM), and greater runtime, making it the right choice for heavy-duty cutting through hardwoods, thick metals, and demanding job site conditions. M12 trades raw power for compact size and lighter weight, which pays off during finish work, tight-space installs, and extended overhead cutting where fatigue adds up. Many experienced contractors run both platforms, using M18 for primary cutting tasks and M12 for detail and finish applications.
What jigsaws are available at GenuineTools?
GenuineTools stocks Milwaukee® M18 FUEL jig saws, including the D-Handle 2737-20 and the Barrel Grip 2737B-20. Both are available as tool-only configurations.
