Score: 88/100Rankings
The Makita XRJ07R1B is a sub-compact brushless reciprocating saw designed for precision work in confined spaces, offering 18V power in a lightweight package. Its main trade-off is a shorter stroke length that limits aggressive cutting capabilities compared to full-size models. It is best suited for professional tradespeople like plumbers and electricians who need maneuverability in tight areas.
The Bosch GSA18V-110N PROFACTOR is a high-performance 18V cordless reciprocating saw featuring a brushless motor and a compact in-line design. It delivers professional-grade speed and vibration control, though the shorter stroke length is a trade-off for its portability. Best suited for professionals already invested in the PROFACTOR 18V ecosystem who need efficient, one-handed blade changes.
