A cordless 18 volt saw that makes most sense as an addition to an existing Milwaukee M18 kit, given the missing blade size and depth specs.

Overview
The Milwaukee 2834-20 is an 18 volt cordless saw built around a high carbon steel blade, at roughly 11 pounds and 10 by 8 by 10 inches. It runs on Milwaukee's M18 battery platform rather than a cord, suited to users already invested in that system.
Cordless saws in this weight class trade outright cutting speed for freedom from an outlet, and the 18 volt platform points to compatibility with the wider Milwaukee M18 tool lineup rather than a standalone charger. The high carbon steel blade is more a durability signal than a performance one. No blade length or cut depth is listed here, so confirm those against the product page before assuming this matches a specific job.
- 18 volt cordless operation
- High carbon steel blade
- 11 pound tool weight
- 10 x 8 x 10 inch footprint
Who it's for
Fits tradespeople and serious DIYers already using Milwaukee's M18 battery ecosystem who want one more cordless tool on the same charger. Less suited to anyone starting a battery platform from scratch or needing a corded saw for continuous heavy duty cutting.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Runs on Milwaukee's widely used M18 battery platform
- Compact enough to fit in a standard tool bag at 11 pounds
- No battery included based on listed specs
- Blade length and cut depth aren't specified
Performance notes
Cutting performance on a cordless saw comes down to battery voltage, blade type and motor design working together, and here Milwaukee lists only the 18 volt battery input and a high carbon steel blade. That blade material holds an edge reasonably well under normal use but doesn't match the wear resistance of carbide tipped options. Runtime and cut speed depend on which M18 battery is paired with the tool, which isn't specified in this listing.
