Makita, DJR188Z, cordless, Reciprocating Saw

The Makita DJR188Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Reciprocating Saw, Body Only is designed for professional cutting, renovation, and demolition work. This battery-powered reciprocating saw handles wood, metal, and pipes, achieving a maximum cutting depth of 255 mm in wood. The tool also cuts through steel profiles up to 100 mm and metal pipes up to 130 mm. A brushless motor drives a 20 mm stroke length for consistent cutting action. As a body-only product, it excludes the battery and charger, which must be purchased separately.

Weighing 2900 g with an overall length of 316 mm, the unit fits into confined spaces where larger saws cannot operate. A saw blade is included, allowing immediate cutting once a power source is attached. An integrated LED work light illuminates the cutting area, while the ergonomic handle reduces hand fatigue during extended use. The tool generates a sound power level of 94 dB and a sound pressure level of 83 dB. Measured vibrations reach 15 m/s² in wood and 15.5 m/s² in steel, giving an indication of the physical feedback during operation.

• Adjustable speed control matches the stroke rate to the material being cut.
• A maximum stroke rate of 3000 spm provides fast cutting for demolition tasks.
• The tool-free blade change system enables quick swaps without additional tools.
• A lock-on function supports continuous operation without holding the trigger.
• Overload protection safeguards the motor during sustained heavy use.
• 18 V Makita LXT compatibility allows pairing with existing batteries and chargers from the same platform.
