Milwaukee Shoe
Model Number: 45-16-0040
The Milwaukee 45-16-0040 is a genuine OEM Shoe for the 2420-20 M12 HACKZALL reciprocating saw. The shoe, also called the foot, is the flat part at the front of the saw, around the blade, that the operator presses against the workpiece while cutting. It braces the saw against the material and steadies the tool during the cut, giving the control that makes clean, accurate cutting possible and letting the operator pivot the saw to work at different angles. On a compact, one-handed saw like the HACKZALL, that steadying contact against the work is central to controlled cutting. The shoe takes the pressure and vibration of every cut and the knocks of jobsite use, so it is a wear and damage item: a cracked, bent, or broken shoe, or one whose pivot has failed, no longer braces the saw properly, which makes the tool harder to control and can let it chatter or kick. Milwaukee advises that the saw should not be used without the shoe, since cutting without it can damage the tool. Replacing it with the correct genuine Milwaukee OEM shoe restores proper bracing and controlled cutting.
Because Milwaukee Tool specifies replacement parts by both catalog number and serial number, always verify your tool's serial number against the official Milwaukee service parts diagram before placing your order, since running production changes can alter part compatibility within the same catalog number. This shoe is specified for the 2420-20 M12 HACKZALL, so confirm your tool's catalog and serial number against the parts diagram before ordering. The shoe pin and shoe retainer that mount the shoe to the saw are separate parts that vary by tool, so refer to your tool's parts diagram for the correct companion part numbers, and inspect the shoe pin and its mounting when replacing the shoe since these parts work together at the front of the saw. Confirm the shoe is securely mounted and pivots or holds as designed before returning the saw to use.
