I bought into the Milwaukee M12 line of tools including the Hackzall, Inspector, Drill/Driver, Impact and Pipe Cutter. There were a number of features that sold me on these tools including ergonomics, product selection using this same battery, battery life indicator, LED illumination, 5 year warranty, opinions from other reviews, first hand testing, etc. Another guy I've worked with has a Hackzall and I've personally seen it dropped off counters, ladders and trash cans. This guy is a bit careless and is unnecessarily tough on his tools, but his Hackzall continues to work well and nothing was ever bent or broken on it from the falls...so far.
Based on my experiences, the Hackzall can easily be used one handed for cutting softer or thin materials, but I prefer to keep my right hand on the trigger/grip while resting my left hand across the top to provide more control, especially when cutting thicker and harder materials. The Hackzall is a useful tool for tight places and it easily cuts copper pipe, 2x4's, EMT, drywall, fiberglass, etc, pretty well as long as what you're cutting is not too wide (less than a couple inches and the thinner the better). Milwaukee has its own line of Hackzall blades that are recommended for this saw, but all the regular Sawzall blades will work in this as well. However, longer blades have a tendency to jump around on this saw quite a bit more than I'm used to with my other larger reciprocating saws (Dewalt, Hitachi, etc).
I was hoping to also use this tool to cut extruded aluminum tub / shower rails among other similar tasks and while it can do this task, it doesn't do it very well for me. There's just too much vibration to get quick clean accurate cuts unless the work piece is securely clamped under more ideal conditions. And even then it takes a while to make these cuts and the blade wants to wander about, possibly due to the vibration and short 1/2 inch stroke. In comparison, my larger 18 volt Hitachi CR18DL makes very quick work out of these rails and cuts them dead-on accurately one handed as if it's going through butter. With my Hitachi CR18DL I don't even have to think about the cut other than lining up the blade to my mark. I just line it up, squeeze the trigger and it cuts the larger rails in ~2 or ~3 seconds with excellent accuracy. With the Hackzall, I'm often fighting with the work piece as its being jerked around. I also have to use a considerable amount of downward pressure and grip the top of the tool with my left hand to keep the saw cutting, but sometimes the overload protection kicks in an the saw shuts off. I won't be using the Hackzall anymore on extruded rails wider than two inches.
Today I had the chance try Hitachi's new CR10DL, which is the 10.8 volt saw designed to compete with Milwaukee's M12 Hackzall. The CR10DL is about 3 inches longer than Milwaukee's Hackzall which might be a concern in tight places, but it also has a comfortable feel for one handed use. I only got a chance to do a couple test cuts with the CR10DL before the contractor with this saw left the job site, but I was very impressed with the Hitachi CR10DL and also found it well suited for many small tasks.
Never the less, I own the Milwaukee Hackzall and it's paid for. It does all my tight quarters cutting work fairly well when using the right blade for the right job. It feels well built, nicely balanced and I'm glad I own it, especially since it nicely compliments the other M12 tools I own. I probably won't be switching over to Hitachi's 10.8 volt tools anytime soon, but I would have given more serious thought to them if I was starting from scratch. Even then, the M12 tools are still very appealing because I like the tubing cutter, the impact gun, the drill/driver, the inspector and I do like the Hackzall for simple light duty tight quarters work. I just wish Milwaukee would have given the M12 an adjustable foot, better LED work piece lighting and a belt clip to make this tool more versatile for my needs.
UPDATE: January 26th, 2009
I really should have given this tool a 4 star rating. It's not perfect and it could be better, but its been a GREAT tool for us as is. We're using these saws daily and they're holding up very well so far. I'm very impressed with most of the M12 product line, although we've had some battery life issues which are hopefully isolated to just a couple batteries. The ergonomics of the Hackzall are great and its become the saw everybody now reaches for on all kinds of tasks.
UPDATE: April 19th, 2009
Our M12 Hackzall's are still going strong. It's our goto tool for under the sink plumbing issues. We often run across fixtures that are corroded very badly and won't come off with a wrench without breaking something or busting a knuckle when it does break loose. And most of the time there's very little room for us to work in. The Hackzall doesn't use much space and it zips though all under sink plumbing in seconds. We use it for many other tasks, but its definitely our goto tool when removing stubborn kitchen or bathroom plumbing fixtures.

Milwaukee quality in a tiny package. Very strong motor, almost as much power as my full-size 18V Ridgid cordless recip saw. Cuts copper pipe and PVC just as fast. If you look at the pictures above, you can see how it compares in size to my Milwaukee 6521-21. Cutting a 2x4 twice, a 3" PVC pipe, a piece of 1/2" rebar, a piece of 3/8" all-thread, ten cuts in 1 1/2" PVC, a bar of 1/2" thick brass 1" wide, and ten cuts in 1/2" copper caused the battery to drop one of four lights. It does cut faster with the Hackzall blades because they are a thinner kerf, but they aren't flimsy at all. It weighs roughly five pounds. As a service plumber, I can tell you this will make some of my jobs a lot easier, safer, and faster.
UPDATE: 5/16/12 - I still have this and use it several times a week. It has been repaired under warranty twice - my fault, I got it soaked both times. It takes a lot of abuse. The battery indicator quit working a while back and bits of the rubber overmold have fallen off, the labels are shot and you can barely read milwaukee on the side, but it still works. I bought an xc battery for the m12 radio and it breaths new life into this saw. It lasts twice as long as the original battery, which should be no surprise the battery is twice the capacity. That 18v Ridgid saw I mentioned earlier gave it up, before this did. It's not going to replace your corded or cordless saw, but it's a great saw to have for the little stuff - 3" and less. When it finally dies and cost more than half of a new one to get repaired, I won't hesitate to buy it again and keep the old one for parts.

I have been using this hackzall for about 2 weeks and am finding more uses for it every day !! It's typical Milwaukee quality, seems like it's built to last. You will not be satisfied with this saw if you don't use it for it's intended purpose, just remember it's NOT A FULL SIZE SAWZALL !!!!! It has a specific application, and it does it flawlessly !!!!! I LUV THIS LITTLE WORKHORSE, AND THE BATTERY LASTS FOREVER. This hackzall is not a must have ... it's a NICE TO HAVE.
