Compact cordless reciprocating saw kit for electricians, plumbers, HVAC installers and maintenance engineers working in restricted spaces
The Makita DJR185RFJ is an 18V LXT compact reciprocating saw developed for professional light-duty cutting applications where access and manoeuvrability are critical. Its straight-frame construction allows efficient operation in confined spaces, making it suitable for electrical installations, plumbing maintenance, HVAC servicing and general repair work. The tool delivers a variable stroke rate of up to 3,000 strokes per minute with a 13 mm stroke length, providing controlled cutting performance across timber, plastic pipework and metal sections.
The DJR185RFJ accepts both reciprocating saw blades and jigsaw blades, giving users additional versatility across a wider range of cutting tasks. Two separate operating switches support multiple grip positions for improved control during overhead and awkward applications. An integrated LED work light improves visibility in poorly lit work areas, while the Makita battery protection system automatically shuts off power when battery capacity becomes low. Supplied with two 18V LXT 3.0Ah Lithium-Ion batteries, a rapid charger and a MAKPAC Type 2 carry case, this kit provides a complete cordless cutting solution for professional trades.
