Makita DJR183

[@RealToolReviews]

I didnt even realize that they made a compact 1-handed recip saw.....the multiple trigger options look like a great idea depending on how you need to hold it. One thing to keep in mind with nails vs screws....nails are a soft metal that is fairly easy to cut, but screws are hardened metal that will literally rip the teeth off of recip blades (probably why all manufacturers specifically list "nail embedded wood"...haha). Good job! Thanks for uploading! :)

This saw i bought almost a year ago. I wanted to make a video a while ago but I didn't find the time. Its funny you say nails are softer because a lot of contractors tell me the reverse. But I personally don't think so. Screws in wood are a pain to cut through every time. Thanks for the comments, I really try to aspire to make the best videos from what I have. Your reviews are awesome!

PrimeMechCo Use a carbide teeth recipro blade and screws aren't a problem anymore =)

[@tranceaddiction]

That could be true, but sometimes you just don't have any on hand. It was just extreme use test to see if it can power through the screws.

[@B1cam]

a good tip here is to use so oil or dw40 when cutting the heavy duty metals. stops the blade burning out.

The key in using this tool is to keep it tight to the material that you cut so it doesn't vibrate in your hand. If it vibrates then the cutting process is altered dramatically. You have to push the tool to the material. I have a Bosch Keo and in my case it is esential this. i'm pretty sure it's the same with this Makita.

I cut a 90mm x90mm timber in about 30 seconds with the Makita DJR 181

[@tranceaddiction]

+FIREHAWK1979 I wouldn't doubt it can. I do have a BJR181 reciprocating saw as well and it can handle its own. But this saw doesn't have enough power to push through some tougher materials. I would just keep it to small things like drywall, 1x material, plastics or soft metals (copper pipe). Happy tooling!

[@foxon172]

+PrimeMechCo if you have both the 181 and the 183, which would you consider buying? new video? I'm an electrician, and makita 18v drills/batteries etc, I used to have the 181 till it was stolen but like the compactness of the 183, just wondered which you would buy? great video.

[@tranceaddiction]

foxon172 for majority of cutting, get the 181 for sure. More power, more uses. The 183 is just for compact spaces, drywall, 3/4" (20mm) EMT, 1" (25mm) copper. That's about it for its usefulness. What type of construction do you do?

[@tranceaddiction]

To be honest, I would get the 181 because it can handle just about everything. I would only use the 183 if its in a real tight situation but be prepared for a long cutting time. It is only good for cutting pipes and drywall. Not for demo work. Hope this helps

good review thanks

[@neodiy]

The makita blade vibration slowing down the cutting process...makita should make the blade stable

[@dannyf4995]
