How serviceable is the Makita DJR186Z reciprocating saw? One of the things I like about Makita tools is they can be opened up and parts replaced. What I would say is that you always need to exercise extreme caution when opening anything electrical. Assuming you have the appropriate charger, start by reading and interpreting the symbols on the charger. There is a blinking red light to show that the battery is cooling, two still red lights to show whether the charge is below or above 80%, and a green one to show that the battery is at 100%. In addition, there is a symbol that shows whether the battery is faulty.

This could be the perfect tool for your requirements. Read through our review and get to learn more about this product. The DJR186 is a cordless reciprocating saw powered by a single 18v Li-ion battery and has been developed for higher cutting efficiency and more durability (compared to the DJR182).

What makes this reciprocating saw to stand out? Another unique feature is the ‘shoe’. Do you see the front most part of the saw that somehow acts as a shelter to the blade? That’s the shoe. You do not want a tool that gives you pain from the amount of vibration generated. However, you have to be reasonable enough to accept the fact that such products need to have some fast motion, which in turn causes vibration. Depending on the way you use this saw, you will get different vibration levels.
