With the Bosch Keo 18 (without battery), you can effortlessly cut branches and metal pipes in half. Use the wood saw for branches up to 80mm thick, and the metal saw for metal objects up to 30mm thick. You can hold unsteady branches and pipes with the detachable A-Grip. This is useful in situations where you have to hold on to the ladder and don't have both hands free to saw, for example. The switch-on process is also more comfortable, because the soft start feature gradually increases the speed of the reciprocating saw. You can easily switch the saw blades of the Keo 18 (without battery) without tools. This reciprocating saw is part of the Bosch POWER FOR ALL 18V battery platform. Already have a battery from the same brand and battery platform? Use it on this reciprocating saw as well.
