Makita DJR188 18v LXT Cordless Brushless Reciprocating Saw
The Makita DJR188 is an 18v cordless brushless reciprocating saw engineered for professional tradespeople who need power and precision in a compact package. With a stroke rate of up to 3,000 strokes per minute and a 20mm stroke length, this LXT reciprocating saw delivers impressive cutting performance across demanding applications.
Weighing just 2.9kg, this lightweight reciprocating saw excels in overhead and off-ground work where tool fatigue becomes a critical factor. The brushless motor technology maximises runtime from each battery charge whilst reducing maintenance requirements. A substantial cutting capacity of 255mm in timber and 130mm in pipe makes this tool suitable for demolition work, plumbing installations, and general construction tasks.
Practical features include a tool-less blade change system for quick blade swaps on site, variable speed control via the trigger for precision cutting, and a constant speed control dial for consistent performance. The integrated LED job light illuminates dark workspaces, whilst the ergonomically designed rear D-handle with full rubber protection wrap ensures a secure and comfortable grip during extended use. An electric brake and lock-off function enhance operator safety.

Battery AH Explained
The best way to describe battery amp hour is that this is effectively the size of your fuel tank, the more amp hours your battery has then the longer the battery will last between charges. More amp hours does not increase the power of a given tool.
Battery Voltage Explained
A tool with a higher voltage than another is a bit like choosing an engine in a car, the higher voltage will generally mean higher power & performance. As with cars though a bigger engine does not always translate to better performance so it is important to compare the specifications of tools at different voltages between different manufacturers.
