Makita DJR188Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Reciprocating Saw - Batteries and Charger Not Included

This saw is relatively compact but powerful, I wouldn't want a bigger one unless I had a specific need. Easy to change the blades and easy to hold. You do need to have the saw pressed against what you are cutting otherwise the vibration will shake your wrist badly, but I think thats true for any make of this type of saw.

Beefy tool that does the job it's intended for. Like all saws of this type, you need to work with the stop hard up against the work. If it's a tree branch, it needs holding firmly otherwise vibration reduces the cutting action. Really good buy for serious users.

Had this tool since December last year. Had a good few months using it now, first application was to cut up a large sofa to get it out the house to the tip, done this with complete ease, and two full 5ah batteries. Used it periodically on site to do some cuts on waste pipe, MDPE, and unistrut. Done its first big job recently ripping out LCS heating pipes in a plant room. Mostly and 3 and 4 inch pipes and providing I had decent blades this little recipe worked wonders and I won't lie I was a little nervous as to how this would perform at a bigger job, rest assured it flew through the job, cutting and ripping out, also removing all those valuble brass fittings too. For the price, and the convenience of a small tool that can fit easily in a rucksack tool bag this is perfect, for most jobs a plumber or a sparky may need it for. Only gripe I have is I don't believe you can fit this with a belt clip which almost undermines 5y3 the purpose of this being sub compact and ultra portable. However don't let these turn you off it.

Great tool, im a carpenter, even though it has a shorter stroke length than the bigger version it still keeps up performance wise, and it's compact size it is a big pluse for me ideal for what I use it for, it also cuts threw scaffold tubes like butter !

This took a few days to arrive as it came from Amazon in Spain. I was sceptical as to whether or not it was brand new based on some reviews saying theirs came in a plain box. However, this arrived in a genuine Makita retail box and looked unblemished so I am confident it's factory fresh. What I did notice was the manufacturing date was a year ago, but it registered as new with a 3 year warranty on Makita's website. All good there then. A 4" wood and 4" metal blade were included in the box. These are Makita part numbers B-20432 and B-20404 and midrange quality.Performance wise this is a superb saw with a good balance to weight ratio. The blade insertion mechanism was a little tight to begin with but has eased up nicely with use. The blades fly out of the mechanism with gusto, so be aware of that or you'll be bending down to pick them up. The handle and trigger are perfectly designed IMHO, the trigger sized for single finger use. The vibrations are evident but to be expected with this saw.I have no real criticism of this saw but suggest future improvements include an adjustable shoe plate, 2 LEDs rather than 1, switchable dual speeds, and a retractable stand. A built-in hook wouldn't go amiss either. All in all this is another win from Makita, especially when used with good quality blades.

It’s quite powerful and glides through tree pruning jobs. It is quite heavy on the battery, so you really need a pair of 5.0ah if you want to use it continuously. Would be perfect for trimming pipe/wood etc.

Worth the money

Brought it for my husband and he does property maintenance and he was really pleased with it. Comfortable to hold and cuts well.

Perfetto, già provato per potare le piante, và benissimo

Wir haben die Säge für das kleinsägen von gusseisernen Heizkörpern im Einsatz. Die kompakte Bauweise ist hier ein klarer Vorteil und die Säge ist absolut leistungsstark. Bei kräftigeren Arbeiten empfiehlt es sich, gleich einen Zweit-Akku zu haben. Ein top-Gerät!

Es muy compacta manejable y funcional.La he utilizado en una poda y corto todas las ramas sin problema.Muy recomendable

Snabb leverans ! Fick paket dagen efter beställning .
