best sawzall

my Milwaki sawzall got stolen so I'm looking for another.. Loved it, but since I am in the market again I though I'd ask the list what you guys think is the best bang for the buck. I found a Bosch 1634VSK without a case, in pretty darn new looking condition for $100 at a local pawn shop. 10.5amp motor caught my eye.

i inherited a Milwaukee about 10 years ago, and it was way abused then. You could hardly tell what it was except it was red. Well it finally died after much abuse and good service. So I replaced it with another Milwaukee, couldn't be happier. It was real pricey, but i saw how long the other one lasted, and decided to go quality.

We have used Milwaukee here at work (contractor) for over 15 years. They can't be beat

Well Bosch tools are the shit!
not familiar with the model # but sounds like a good deal as it's prolly around 300. new, huh?
Word of advise, do NOT buy the makita one UNLESS you get a spare switch asssembly with it, as it WILL burn out! I ahve two waiting to be rebuilt while teh sawzall just chuggs away. I'm pretty happy with milwalkee tools so would suggest to buy the bosche as a stop-gap, and when you can, get a super-sawzall later. you NEVER ahve too many tools, and this is one that you can often use two at same time when there are two-three people working, huh?
