About brand
The unmatched quality and durability of Makita products is driven by the company’s strong R&D capabilities, and have earned the trust of professional users worldwide.
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.

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.

Your browser does not support HTML5 video. This 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.
