Makita DJR183Z 18V Cordless Mini Reciprocating Saw

Great for small jobs or confined spaces.

This is good for smaller jobs and single handed use as it is much lighter and shorter than full size reciprocating saws. There are two trigger switches, one on the handle and other on barrel making it possible to turn on with either hand if holding in both.Read full review

Not for professionals

Reciprocating saw is ok for DIY projects, but when you want to use it at job, you will notice that it have not enough power to cut joists quick. It looks sturdy, well made and very compact. In my opinion it is good product, just not for daily use at job. Read full review

Arrived quickly and in original box with instructions and a saw blade. Works really well, way better than a cheaper ‘copy’ that I tried, as they say buy cheap buy twice… This cuts with ease, doesn’t get hot and overall I am really pleased with it. Read full review

Disappointed

All my power tools are Makita 18volt powered by 3AH batteries.
I thought I would add a reciprocating saw to my collection for cutting access holes in 6mm OSB, easier than using the jigsaw l thought, but it struggles even doing this, soon starting to smell hot, very disappointed with this made in China tool.Read full review

Generally good.

Does the job, but is a bit underpowered and needs good blades (Bosch’s or similar, Makita are not great).
