Key Features & Benefits
- Brushless Motor — delivers longer runtime per charge and consistent power output compared to the brushed DJR186Z, with reduced heat and maintenance.
- Electronic 2-Speed (2,300 / 3,000 SPM) — low speed for controlled cuts in steel pipe and finish work, high speed for aggressive demolition in timber.
- Retractable Joist Hook — hang the saw from a joist or beam when working overhead, freeing both hands for positioning and blade changes.
- Tool-Less Blade Change and Shoe Adjustment — swap blades and reposition the shoe in seconds without tools during fast-paced work.
- Variable Speed Trigger with Electric Brake — feather for controlled cuts and stop the blade instantly when releasing the trigger.
- LED Job Light — illuminates the cut line in dark demolition spaces and cavity work.
When to Use This Reciprocating Saw
The DJR187Z is the brushless version of Makita’s popular DJR186Z recip saw, offering the same cutting power with better battery efficiency. Choose this over the DJR186Z when you need longer runtime on a single charge or when you are cutting all day and want the cooler-running brushless motor. The retractable joist hook is a practical addition for overhead work. For even more power in heavy demolition, step up to the DJR360Z dual-battery 36V model.
