Bosch Reciprocating Saw CRS180B 18V Cordless DHandle 1-1/8 Inch Stroke (Lockjaw Blade Change Dual Speed 2700 SPM Bare Tool Overhead Demolition Cut)

Industrial-Grade 18V Cordless D-Handle Reciprocating Saw with 1-1/8 Inch Stroke Capacity, Dual-Speed Transmission, and One-Handed Lockjaw Blade Holder

The Bosch CRS180B 18V Cordless Reciprocating Saw delivers specialized demolition utility and exceptional aggressive slicing speed across highly restricted structural environments. Engineered with a robust two-speed transmission and a 1-1/8 inch stroke length mechanism, this compact tool generates dual-gear cutting velocities pacing up to 2,700 strokes per minute. This commercial cutting solution resolves tight stud bay access barriers, high-fatigue overhead mechanical installations, and blade friction jams by combining a toolless tool-free Lockjaw one-handed blade change sleeve with an ergonomic vibration-damping D-handle profile. Outfitted with a variable speed control trigger for smooth scoring starts and an open metal shoe foot, this 6.35 lb balanced tool frame optimizes subcontractor layout efficiency during intensive copper pipe line sizing, timber demolition runs, and general plumbing system maintenance. **Battery and charger sold separately.

Best Used For:

• Restricted Bay Demolition: Slicing down heavy lumber framing joists and subflooring frames inside narrow crawlspaces and unlit attic enclosures.
• Overhead Conduit Resizing: Severing thick rigid steel conduits, copper water lines, and galvanized mechanical ventilation ducts with minimal wrist strain.
• Embedded Fastener Shearing: Cutting through hardened steel screws and hidden masonry framing anchors flush with structural masonry lines using bi-metal blades.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Dual-Speed Selector Matrix: Selects cleanly between a high-torque low-speed setting (0-2,400 SPM) for metal profiles and a high-velocity tier (0-2,700 SPM) for wood stock.
• Lockjaw Fast Blade Retention: Single-action twist collar allows professional tradespeople to drop hot or broken bi-metal saw blades quickly using one gloved hand.
• Extended Material Removal Path: A long 1-1/8 inch linear stroke length clears debris chips rapidly from the blade kerf channel to accelerate deep plunge cuts.
• Ergonomic D-Handle Shroud: Fully enclosed rear handle grip framework shields operator fingers from ambient jobsite debris while stabilizing directional force lines.
• AMPShare Battery Compatibility: Modular electrical internal contacts pair seamlessly with the full line of Bosch 18V lithium-ion cells and universal multi-brand AMPShare systems.

What's Included

• (1) CRS180 18V Cordless 1-1/8 Inch D-Handle Reciprocating Saw Base
• (2) Heavy-Duty Bi-Metal Reciprocating Saw Blades

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: When performing deep demolition cuts, firmly plant the metal guide shoe flat against the material face sheet before activating the power strokes. This direct bracing action reduces back-and-forth tool bucking reactions, dampens blade vibration loops, and shields the transmission shaft from kickback bending stresses.
