This Makita reciprocating saw is powered by an 18V Li-ion battery and is designed for higher cutting efficiency. It features a brushless DC motor with high power to weight and size ratio. The brushless DC motor generates less heat, which is ideal for prolonged use in production applications. The protection technology maximises protection against dust, dirt and debris and optimises performance. The faster cutting speed and longer stroke length maximise cutting efficiency. Two-speed settings provide ideal settings for the wood or metal cutting experience. A large 2-finger trigger switch optimises user control and comfort. Also, tool-free blade change offers ultra convenience in your work.
