DJR187Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Brushless Reciprocating Saw - Batteries and Charger Not Included

From other customers' excellent reviews I decided to purchase this particular model of Makita reciprocating saw, believing that you pay for what you get, and I wasn't disappointed 😀 I'm Very pleased with the quality and how the tool handles. It would have been better if it had come with a hard case to store it in, I had to buy this separately One reviewer did mentioned not being able to register the tool on the Makita warranty website, however when entering the serial number if it doesn't give a green tick the system will still let you register it when you submit the ' enter/register tool ' button, and you've scanned your receipt. I'm looking forward to using the tool for various jobs.

I was dreading cutting down a couple of small trees and branches (approx 4.5 m high / up to 10 cm in diameter) I did a very good job and made it a lot easier the the hand saw (I mean A LOT easier... from personal experience) it is a powerful tool and works particularly well if you have two batteries, so that you can charge one while using the tool. Beware not to press too hard on the blade to avoid bending it (which I did) but it is easy to replace and the tool is great. Very good for trimming or cutting firewood for medium size logs for instance It is clearly not a precision tool though, so if you are after a nice clean cut, I would go back to the hand saw.

So much power. Cuts through 100mm branches in about 10 seconds. Great for cutting through roots too. Excellent, relatively safe, alternative to a chainsaw. Battery lasts well too! I haven’t really used it for precision carpentry, but it easily cut an old oak patio table in half in a controlled way. Nothing not to like about this tool. If you want to cut big stuff then buy one.

Really good quality as you would expect from Makita, works well, easy to change blades and very quick as well. decent bit of kit.

Very good, and a really good price on Amazon.👍

This is an amazing tool. Give it a fine blade and a bit of wood and with practice, you can make some fairly accurate cuts. As a construction tool it will be great, as a demolition tool, it should be awesome. Vibration is quite low, I expected something much worse but it seems pretty smooth to me. The cut is super fast, so will save loads of time. The only downside I can see is that you can't register it for a Makita UK extended warranty as the serial number isn't recognised. I tried a few times to get the model and serial numbers entered to no avail. If someone can correct me, I'll make this an easy 5 star product.

Cuts through wood like a knife through butter, and I used an old blade Very light, yet sturdy and comfortable to hold with limited vibration, it has a lot of rubber to absorb

Bought for general jobs around house and garden renovation project. First up: 6” tree trunk. Munched through it in less than 10 seconds. Before the tree police get excited, it was an overgrown pot based tree, not one in the wild that I would also be opposed to lopping.

TOP Qualité, pour une 18V, cette outils est sensationnel, j'adore sa puissance et sa qualité de construction.

Tutto perfetto grazie

Good service, great product.

Todo excelente y con buen tiempo de entrega !!

Ganz tolle Maschine, erste Schnitte ohne Komplikationen, ausreichend Kraft und gewohnt gute Verarbeitung. Habe die Maschine als Ergänzung zu meinem MAKITA 18V Bestand gekauft. Die richtige Bewährung wird dann im Herbst beim Beschneiden meiner Obstbäume erfolgen. 😎
