- Does it come with a battery?
- No. It is sold as a bare tool, so you need a Bosch 18V battery and charger, or an AMPShare-compatible battery from a partner brand.
- How does it compare with a corded reciprocating saw?
- Bosch rates the PROFACTOR motor as comparable to its 11A corded saws, with up to 2,900 spm. Expect corded-class speed without a cord, but with battery weight and runtime limits.
- What is the orbital mode for?
- Orbital action moves the blade in an elliptical path to cut wood and rough material faster. Switch it off for clean cuts in metal and pipe.
- Can it cut metal and pipe?
- Yes. With a metal-cutting blade it handles pipe, conduit and embedded metal; the adjustable footplate helps set depth and expose fresh teeth.
- Which batteries work with it?
- Any Bosch 18V battery, plus AMPShare batteries from partner brands. Larger Ah packs give longer runtime at more weight.
- How do you change blades?
- Twist the LockJaw collar and insert the blade; no hex key is needed. The footplate adjusts without tools for flush cuts.
