The compact tool - only 18-1/8" long x 8-1/4" tall x 3-7/16" wide -- has a high-torque motor with a 1-1/8" long stroke length that makes cutting thin or thick metal pipes easy.The reciprocating saw can drive the blade at 0-2,800 strokes per minute. 

At just 7.5 lbs. including battery, the tool's light weight and ergonomic design helps keep the user's wrist in the neutral position. The light weight and tool design work together to cause less fatigue and improve tool control.

Tough tools for tough conditions

Like many Panasonic tools, the EY45A1LS1G/EY45A1X (tool body only) are Tough IP rated. That means they passed demanding laboratory tests of working in extremely dusty work environments and the effects of water getting sprayed on the tool by powerful jets. In the field, it assures professional tradesmen have a tool that can stand up to the rigors of hard jobsite use. 

The IP rating is established by the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) and is outlined in IEC 60529. The standard outlines a coding system that indicates the degree of protection an electrical machine's enclosure offers internal components. Based on objective testing, it assigns a rating to the enclosure's ability to keep potentially damaging solid foreign objects (dust and contaminants) and water out of the tool under increasingly difficult conditions. 

The dust protection test subjects the tool to a very dusty environment and then puts it to work to assure the tool was unaffected by dust exposure. In the grueling test, the tool proved that it achieved a dust protection level of five out of six levels; the sixth level is for dust-tight tools. It's a good indication that the tool's design keeps potentially harmful contaminants out, assuring long life and top performance that professionals demand. 

Similarly, the water protection test put the tool up against increasing levels of water exposure. It attained a six out of eight levels rating, withstanding the effects of powerful water jets. Whether it's extremely dust work conditions or work in damp or wet locations, users will appreciate a tool that will keep working when others would likely fail. Consult the safety and operating instructions for more information.

Tough and long-lasting battery packs

This tool with "Dual Voltage Technology" can be powered by Panasonic's exclusive 14.4-volt or 18-volt 4.2Ah LS Li-ion battery pack, is built for heavy use, long runtimes between charges and long cycle life. Unlike manganese-based Li-ion batteries used in many cordless power tools, Panasonic's exclusive Li-ion battery technology produces less internal heat buildup that can kill battery packs. The battery packs also feature Panasonic's Solid Solution technology, a proprietary process for dissolving and hardening cobalt and nickel and other key battery components. This unique chemistry dramatically improves battery pack safety, reliability and power output. A special heat-resistant ceramic coating layer separates cells and protects them from heat buildup. Together, the chemistry, battery design and manufacturing process add up to powerful batteries that promise to deliver long running lives.
