Makita Usa Inc RJ03R1 12V Cordless Reciprocating Saw Kit

Product Description

The MAKITA USA INC RJ03R1 is a 12V Max CXT Lithium-Ion cordless reciprocating saw kit built for trade professionals who need a compact, capable cutting tool in tight spaces. The variable speed motor delivers 0 to 3,300 strokes per minute with a 0.5 inch stroke length, providing efficient cutting through a range of materials. At 14.75 inches long and weighing 2.9 pounds with battery installed, this saw is sized for one-handed use in confined areas. HVAC technicians, plumbers, and electricians regularly reach for tools in this class for duct work, pipe cutting, and rough-in work where full-size reciprocating saws cannot fit.

This kit is suited for light commercial and residential applications where cordless portability and compact form factor are priorities. The RJ03R1 ships as a complete kit including two 12V Max CXT 2.0Ah Lithium-Ion batteries, a 12V Max CXT charger, a 4 inch 18 TPI metal cutting reciprocating saw blade, a 4 inch 6 TPI wood cutting reciprocating saw blade, and a tool case. The dual-battery configuration supports continuous use on the job site without waiting for a charge cycle to complete.
