Festool RSC 18 - Cordless Reciprocating Saw Built for Demanding Cuts

When demolition meets precision, the Festool RSC 18 redefines what a cordless reciprocating saw can achieve. This isn't your typical demolition tool – it's a precision cutting system that handles everything from rough demolition to fine pruning with unexpected finesse. With a robust 32mm stroke length and variable speed up to 3,000 strokes per minute, this saw delivers power where you need it and control when you demand it.

Power That Doesn't Compromise on Control

The RSC 18 stands apart in the world of cordless reciprocating saws with its intelligent balance between brute force and surgical precision. The 230mm wood cutting capacity tackles thick timbers and tree limbs with ease, while the 175mm metal cutting capability handles pipes, profiles, and structural elements up to 20mm thick. What makes this saw different is its ability to transition from aggressive demolition to controlled cutting without missing a beat.

Weighing 4.1kg without battery, the RSC 18 feels substantial yet balanced in hand, reducing fatigue during overhead cuts or extended use. The variable stroke rate control (0-3,000 min⁻¹) lets you match the cutting speed to the material – slow and controlled for metals, fast and aggressive for wood. For professionals seeking the best cordless reciprocating saw that can handle both construction sites and detailed cutting tasks, this tool delivers unprecedented versatility.

Technical Specifications

Where This Saw Excels

• Demolition work – plunges through walls and removes structural elements
• Pruning and landscaping – handles thick branches and tree work
• Metal cutting – slices through pipes, conduits, and structural metal
• Plunge cutting – creates openings in drywall and paneling
• Flush cutting – gets tight against surfaces for clean removal
• Overhead work – balanced design reduces arm fatigue
• Confined spaces – compact head design reaches tight areas

Professional Applications

The RSC 18 proves indispensable for demolition crews tearing down walls, electricians cutting conduit and strut, plumbers working on pipe systems, and landscapers handling serious pruning work. The 32mm stroke length provides aggressive cutting action in wood and green materials, while the variable speed control allows precision work when cutting near electrical wiring or plumbing.

Unlike many reciprocating saws that only excel at rough work, the RSC 18 maintains control for detailed tasks. The ability to start cuts slowly ensures precise positioning before accelerating to full power. The pendulum action can be engaged for faster wood cutting or disengaged for better control in metals and precision work. For professionals who need one tool that handles both destructive and constructive tasks, this saw delivers remarkable versatility.
