How does this compare with the 12V Hackzall 2420-20? What is more significant, the small size or extra power?

I own both. They have nearly the same footprint size and no real weight difference. The 12v has a slightly bigger grip because the battery fits inside the handle. For light-duty or occasional cutting, the 12v is great. The new 12v - 4.0Ah batteries gives more power and longer run time. But it's definitely slower and less powerful than the 18v. The 18v will easily match or outperform any reciprocating saw (sawzall) because it's one-handed, more maneuverable, and can get into really tight spaces. Anybody that disagrees hasn't been standing on a ladder trying to install 2-inch pipe in a ceiling around sprinkler pipes and ductwork. Plus hot-swapping batteries between hackzall and hammer drill is pretty convenient. On 2-inch conduit pipe, I got 2 cuts using the 12v and a fully charged standard battery. Using the 18v, I got at least 12 cuts and I didn't swap battery during 10-hrs.

Would this tool cut through something like an auto exhaust pipe?

It will cut through an exhaust pipe without much effort with the proper metal cutting blade. I love my cordless sawzall.

Would this hackzall be better than the fuel hackzall because it can use bigger batteries?

This model (the 2625) is perfect for my use, but you may want to do an internet search for model #2719, which is the same design as this only with the Powerstate brushless motor (FUEL), going for about $149 for the tool only. The 2719 model is not available on Amazon for some reason. The stroke is 7/8 inch, vs. 3/4 inch for this model, so probably cuts faster too. Both take any size of the M18 lithium batteries, but If you are concerned about using bigger batteries, the FUEL model #2719 may be more what you are looking for.
