Makita BJR182
$70.00
Released May, 2008
The Pros:Can handle getting full of mud when cutting out tree roots, keeps working. Batteries get really hot when using the tool. Battery will last about 12 minutes of heavy use, then will need 30-40 minutes to charge up again (including cooling time).
The Cons:Requires the more powerful and expensive 3.0Ah batteries. Isn't clear which button position "lock" is on the blade guard, need to refer to the manual. Need to make sure sawdust is cleaned from the blade opening to ensure blades go in all the way and don't fall out.
The Makita BJR182 is a 18v cordless reciprocating saw offered by Makita power tools. This saw is driven by a high torque motor and has a cutting stroke length of 1-1/8" with a speed of 0-2900 spm.

The compact design is only 17-3/4" long and weighs only 8.1 lbs reducing operator fatigue. One-handed tool-less blade changes and shoe adjustments minimize down time during work. The 18 volt LXT lithium-ion battery provides longer run time, 5x lower self-discharge and 16 firm holding contact terminals for constant high power. The 30 minute charger communicates with the battery using built in chips to optimize the battery charging. The charger also uses "Active 3 Control" for current, voltage and thermal control.
