I bought a cordless reciprocating saw on Aliexpress. Taking into account coupons, it turned out only $ 19.90, that is, about 1,500 rubles.
Each manufacturer specifically makes its own battery format so that it cannot be used with their instrument batteries of competitors (thus the buyer is "tied" to himself and forced to buy expensive batteries). And the Chinese guys are simple and make a bunch of power tools for Makita 18V batteries, and at the same time make the batteries themselves "almost like real ones."
I already have a proprietary battery and a Makita charger - they were included in the mower trimmer kit (https://ammo1.livejournal.com/1154952.html).
This reciprocating saw uses Makita batteries - two blade contacts on the bottom.
The package contained only the saw herself in a bubble-shaped bag and a very crumpled cardboard box without inscriptions. No instructions or anything else is attached.
Saws with standard fastening are used.
The saw has a convenient keyless chuck: to install or remove the file, you need to turn the ring.
On the side there is a mechanical protection button that prevents the saw from turning on in the "closed" position. The trigger is also a speed regulator. This is not very convenient and most likely everything will be cut "at maximum", since holding the trigger in an intermediate position is almost unrealistic.
When the saw is running, a white LED is on, which slightly illuminates the cutting area.
I used some kind of Chinese and, apparently, very blunt file. It took a whole 10 seconds to cut a 100x22 mm board and the cut turned out to be so-so.
This is how the sawing process went.

Now this saw costs $ 26.59 with free shipping. But right now there is a sale on Aliexpress and the price can be significantly reduced due to coupons and promotional codes.
In addition to this saw, I also bought a cordless rotary hammer for the same Makitovsky battery. I paid for it $ 44.21 including coupons, now it costs $45.48 with free shipping from Russia.
As soon as I use it in business, I'll write a review, but for now I just checked that it spins and knocks. :)

The main topic of my blog is technology in human life. I write reviews, share experiences, talk about all sorts of interesting things. My second project - lamptest.ru. I test LED bulbs and help figure out which ones are good and which are not so good.
