    Fr kleine Gartenarbeiten – Sgen dnnerer ste – geeignet. Man muss aufpassen, das das zu sgende Holz ziemlich hinten an der Sge sitzt. Aber keine Wunderdinge erwarten.

    Lo mejor que puedo usar la misma batera del atornillador y potencia gradual.lo que menos el acople de la cuchilla que es de tornillo.
    La estoy usando para instalacines de depuracin tubera de PVC , fibra de vidrio y con el hierro se porta muy bien.

    After a few uses of this tool i have found it to be ok, suitable for light to medium work.
    Being light weight and small it is perfect for tight spaces which would cause you problems with a manual saw such as under counter tops or inside cars.
    DO NOT buy cheap saw attachments for this tool as it will struggle. Using cheap or wrong attachments will cause it to vibrate badly and even stop. It only has a small motor so good quality attachments should be a must to get best performance.
    Comes with a metal saw and wood saw attachment so you can start right away.
    Only bad thing is the trigger safety button on the pistol grip, must be held in order to pull trigger.

    Da portare in cantiere per tagli al volo su materiali vari . Meno pericoloso della circolare . E poi non avevo nessun sistema di taglio a batteria . Non per tagli ben rifiniti .

    Great tool . Purchased to help dismantle an old shed. Done the job with ease. Purchased additional blades as only get 2 in the box which are a bit on the short side.

    Great for pipes especially plastic, Smaller timber. Use shorter blades, they seem to be better. Great light tool. Value for money is low as for the same money you can buy a big reciprocal saw, not sure why I bought this one now instead of a bigger one. Its handy and small.

    Golden Review Award: 3 From Our UsersThis Makita DJR185Z functions exactly as I expected. It’s described as a mini saw and that’s what it is, a small tool for small jobs, it’s not made for lumberjacks or building site chippies and that should be borne in mind when ordering..

    My video shows the tool cutting a 25mm x 50mm piece of wood using the supplied wood-cutting blade. You can see it’s not fast or notably powerful, which also means it’s not noisy or hard to control; I had my phone in one hand and the tool in the other, and you just don’t do that with a more powerful tool unless keen on a hospital visit.

    I’m pleased enough with this tool, it does what I wanted it for and I recommend it. And please, always always secure the workpiece, that is so important.

    Me parece muy ligera y muy ergonmica el pulsador en el lateral para m es un acierto. El problema es que tarda mucho en cortar y est bastante limitada apeaar de ser una herramienta de 18v. De este modelo quiero destacar que se le pueden poner sierra de calar tambin dado a que eres t el que ajusta el tornillo y dicha cuchilla encaja. Ese fue otro detalle que me ha gustado ya que puedes usarla como una caladora no est diseada para eso pero te hace el apao al menos en mi caso lo ha hecho. Si tienes claro para que la necesitas y tienes en cuenta sus limitaciones puede llegar a ser til por su peso reducidoy manejo con una sola mano.

    Ligera, muy manejable, val epara todo si le pones la hoja adecuada. La uso incluso para podar, obviamente mucho ms lenta que una motosierra, pero ms ligera, no se estropea, no lleva gasolina. Corta hasta ramas de 10 cm de dimetro. Muy verstil. La batera de 3 Ah dura como media hora sin parar de podar.

Robusta allo stesso tempo si utilizza facilmente, meglo se tenendo premuto il pulsante centrale piuttosto che il grilletto situato sull’impugnatura.

    Depending on the workload, it’s good for smaller jobs or jobs that you don’t have to do in a hurry.

    i 18v della pila non sono molti, ma una pila pi potente renderebbe il seghetto pi pesante e dunque pi difficile da usare per chi ha poca forza nel braccio. Dunque per questa potenza di 18v il seghetto fa il suo lavoro egregiamente.

    Golden Review Award: 9 From Our UsersRead the reviews. Asked myself do I really need one? As ive managed now for 30 years without one. Anyway took the plunge and brought one. Oh my goodness its fantastic. Very well made, well balanced in the hand. Has a concealed allen key in the handle for changing the blade which is a nice touch. Comes with 2 blades a metal one and a wood one both very sharp. I would recommend removing the battery when changing the blade in case the machine comes to life and cuts your fingers. I now have this as a permanent feature on my work bench. So when i need to cut some metal bar or tube its a piece of cake. Also you can use this in an upright position as a type of jigsaw as its got a secondary power switch along the bottom of the body of the saw. Battery lasts quite a long time, ive even purchased a long blade for pruning the tree branched in the garden. I should have brought one of these years ago. A1+

    Golden Review Award: 6 From Our UsersMolto pratico perch con il pulsante anteriore, oltre a quello a pistola, si pu usare con una mano sola, lo uso con batterie da 5 Ah, e non potentissimo, se dovete tagliare ferro spesso o legno spesso prendete il modello superiore, comunque molto versatile e xi si pu fare di tutto. Ovvio il prezzo, senza batterie n carica batterie n valigetta un po’ elevato, ma la qualit Makita si paga.

    Golden Review Award: 16 From Our UsersI bought this elsewhere but thought I’d add a few words:
    This has to be my most used power tool on site. (joiner) Handy for reaching in nipping off awkward to reach stuff inside cavities, cutting drywall, cutting through nails/screws, pipes… the list is endless. It sits with a battery on all the time and I have a couple of different blades in my nail bag. Blade change is fine; you need an Allen-key but I think it’s better than the quick change version as you can use it as a jig-saw with the appropriate blades (love this feature) for cutting flooring etc.

    Only downside is, it could do with a bit more stroke and a slightly stronger motor but if you use it within it’s limits and don’t expect it to do what it’s not designed to it is an excellent tool.
