The Festool RSC 18 cordless reciprocating saw is engineered for powerful, fast cutting across demanding construction, renovation and dismantling applications. Its brushless EC-TEC motor and switch-activated pendulum stroke deliver rapid cutting performance while directing maximum power straight into the blade rather than the machine body.
Designed for smooth handling even during heavy-duty work, the low-vibration construction improves user comfort and control while protecting both the tool and operator. The large variable speed trigger allows precise stroke control, while the integrated LED ensures excellent visibility of the cutting area.
This EBI-Plus version includes a 5.0Ah battery for extended runtime on site and comes stored securely inside a Systainer for protection, transport and system compatibility across the Festool storage range.
