Bosch Professional GSA 18V-280 Cordless Reciprocating Saw 06016D1000 18 V Brushless EC Motor Tool-Free Blade Change LED Work Light

Demolition and renovation work often grinds to a halt when a corded saw limits your reach or a weak motor bogs down in thick timber. The Bosch Professional GSA 18V-280 cordless reciprocating saw eliminates those bottlenecks with a brushless EC motor that delivers relentless cutting power on an 18 V battery platform. Its 28 mm stroke length and up to 2,900 strokes per minute slice through wood up to 230 mm and metal profiles or pipes up to 175 mm, making quick work of framing, pruning, pipe cutting, and tear-outs. The tool-free SDS blade change lets you swap blades in seconds without extra tools, while the integrated LED work light keeps the cut line visible in dark corners. An ergonomic anti-vibration handle reduces fatigue during prolonged use, and the compact 482 mm body reaches into tight spaces where larger saws cannot. This is a bare tool, so batteries and charger are not included, but it is fully compatible with all Bosch Professional 18 V batteries and chargers, protecting your existing investment.

Who is it for

This saw is built for professional carpenters, plumbers, electricians, demolition crews, and serious DIYers who need a portable, high-performance cutting tool for rough-in work, remodeling, and outdoor projects.

Tips

To maximize blade life and cutting performance, use Bosch Professional S 922 EF, S 1122 EF, or S 644 D recip saw blades. For overhead cutting, keep the saw's ventilation slots clear of debris and use the anti-vibration handle to maintain control. Although the tool is compatible with all Bosch Professional 18 V batteries, pairing it with a ProCORE18V 4.0Ah or higher battery ensures maximum runtime for demanding demolition tasks.
