## Summary

A short, light reciprocating saw for cutting in tight spots: 1.8 kg bare, 25.4 mm stroke and up to 210 mm in wood or 20 mm in metal. The blade can be turned 180° to cut flush against floors, walls and ceilings.

## Why this one

- **1.8 kg bare**: Light enough for one-handed and overhead cutting.
- **Flush cutting**: Blade mounts turned 180° to cut against floors and walls.
- **Extraction included**: Dust extraction device supplied for CLEANTEC extractors.
- **Tool-free blades**: Touch-free blade change for universal-shank blades.

## The story

### Small saw for awkward cuts

The ERSC 18 is the saw to keep on the van for renovation, plumbing and fitting work: trimming pipes flush, cutting openings in studwork and shortening battens where a big recip saw will not fit. At 1.8 kg it can be held with one hand above head height, a scaffold hook on the housing keeps it parked between cuts, and an LED lights the cut line inside cavities.

### Cleaner than most recip saws

A dust extraction device comes in the box, so the saw can be connected to a CLEANTEC extractor when cutting indoors. Blades change without touching them, the variable-speed trigger gives a soft start for plunge cuts, and the brushless EC-TEC motor keeps the stroke rate up to 3,000 per minute. It takes the same universal-shank blades as the bigger RSC 18 and runs on any Festool 18V pack.
