The engine is capable of generating a no-load speed of 2,100 SPM (strokes per minute) with a 1-1/8-In stroke length at a no-load speed of 1,800 SPM.
THE CHANGE OF BLADE: The use of a tool-less blade changing system allows for faster replacements and less downtime.
The fact that it is only 6.5 pounds makes maneuvering on the job even more convenient.
LED: Increases visibility in low-light environments.
BATTERY LIFE INDICATOR: Notifies the user when the battery’s power is running out.
ERGONOMIC SHAPE: The ergonomic shape, as well as the slip/heat resistant grip, allow for comfortable operation.
GRIP: A rubber handle with a soft grip for improved comfort and less fatigue is provided.
The 18V Cordless Reciprocating Saw – CR18DSLP4 (tool body only), which is covered by Metabo HPT’s lifetime lithium ion tool warranty, combines comfort and convenience with the fade free power, lighter weight, and longer total battery life that lithium ion battery power provides. Metabo HPT’s 18 Volt lithium ion slide-type batteries (sold separately) are compatible with this tool, which generates 2,100 SPM at zero load with a 1-1/8-In stroke length and is compatible with all Metabo HPT 18 Volt lithium ion slide-type batteries. This cordless reciprocating saw’s lightweight design (it weighs only 7.3 lbs), combined with its compact size and soft grip handle, makes it comfortable to use all day. When used in dark environments, an LED light illuminates the cutting path, and the tool-less blade change system is quick and convenient. A battery charge indicator light alerts the user when the battery’s charge is running low, reducing the likelihood of unexpected downtime.
This year, I used a reciprocating saw for spring pruning, and it worked great. A massive ice storm hit Texas, resulting in a large number of trees with dead branches on them. It took no effort at all for this baby to chew through branches as thick as 4/5 inch without the use of a chain saw. Since my beloved Hitachi was rebranded as Metabo, my concerns about the company’s ability to maintain quality have been put to rest. It has exceeded my expectations in terms of productivity.
