Makita DJR186Z 18V LXT Cordless Reciprocating Saw – Skin Only

When you need raw cutting power on site, the Makita DJR186Z delivers. Built tough for carpenters, plumbers, electricians, and all-round tradies, this cordless reciprocating saw makes light work of timber, steel, PVC, and demolition cuts – no cords, no fuss.

With a redesigned crank mechanism, the DJR186Z delivers a longer stroke length with less vibration, giving you faster, cleaner cuts while reducing user fatigue. The tool-less blade change system means you can swap blades in seconds without ever touching the hot steel, keeping your workflow smooth and safe.

For added control, Makita has built in an electric brake to stop the blade fast, plus a 2-finger trigger for comfort and stability even in awkward positions or overhead cutting. Combined with XPT dust and moisture protection, this saw is ready for whatever the job site throws at it.

At Cornwells Mitre 10, we see this model as a true job site essential – robust, reliable, and designed for tradies who need a no-nonsense saw that gets the job done.
