Product Description
Makita DJR185Z 18V Cordless Mini Reciprocating Saw (Body Only)
The Makita DJR185Z 18V Cordless Mini Reciprocating Saw (Body Only) is a compact LXT power tool designed for fast cutting in wood, metal and plastics where space is limited. Ideal for electricians, plumbers, heating engineers and maintenance teams, it combines the reach of a reciprocating saw with the manoeuvrability of a one-handed design. A 13mm stroke length and up to 0-3000 strokes per minute provide efficient cutting performance, while a 50mm capacity in wood and mild steel pipe covers common site materials from studwork to conduit. Two switch levers with variable speed control - a trigger on the handle and a paddle on the body - allow flexible grip positions and precise speed adjustment. The jigsaw blade compatible clamp and adjustable shoe help users select the best blade for the job and make full use of the cutting edge. Finished with a rubberised soft grip and single LED job light, this body only reciprocating saw runs on Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion batteries and is typically supplied with a hex wrench and saw blade where stated.
