Reciprocating Saw EINHELL TP-AP 18/32 Li BL Solo — cordless reciprocating saw, model TP-AP 18/32 Li BL

The Reciprocating Saw EINHELL TP-AP 18/32 Li BL Solo is a cordless sabre saw designed for mobile cutting tasks in renovation, demolition and installation work. This battery-powered, tool-only model features a brushless motor that improves efficiency and reduces maintenance. It is intended for cutting wood, metal and plastics and supports both precise plunge cuts and more aggressive demolition operations while enabling one-handed handling and better access in confined spaces.

Advantages

The brushless motor delivers higher energy efficiency and longer runtime compared with brushed motors, while reducing wear. Cordless operation grants freedom of movement on job sites without trailing cables. The compact design and one-handed handling make the saw suitable for work in tight or elevated locations. Adjustable stroke speed and quick blade change increase versatility and reduce downtime.

Suitable for

• Controlled plunge cuts in wooden boards and panels
• Cutting metal pipes and profiles with appropriate blades
• Trimming branches and light pruning tasks
• Demolition and dismantling of interior fittings and non-structural elements
• Installation work where mobility and access are limited

When it may not be suitable

This cordless reciprocating saw is not intended for continuous heavy industrial use where mains-powered high-power tools or larger demolition saws are required. For very thick structural steel cutting or prolonged high-load demolition, a higher-power wired saw or specialist equipment may be more appropriate. Also note that the Solo designation means the battery and charger are not included and must be supplied separately.

Key specifications

• Drive type: Brushless electric motor
• Power source: Battery (tool-only configuration)
• Cutting materials: Wood, metal, plastics (with correct blade selection)
• Intended handling: One-handed operation; compact, portable design
• Cut type: Reciprocating/sabre action suitable for plunge cuts and demolition

How to use

Select a blade suitable for the material to be cut and secure it according to the tool’s blade-change mechanism. Install a compatible battery before operation and set the stroke speed or power mode if available. Hold the saw firmly with one or both hands as needed, start the tool and allow the blade to reach full speed before engaging the workpiece. Use controlled forward pressure—let the blade do the cutting—and avoid forcing the tool. For plunge cuts, mark the entry point and begin at low speed, increasing as required. After use, remove the battery, clean the blade area from debris and store the tool in a dry place.

What to consider before purchase

• Battery and charger are not included — verify battery voltage and compatibility with existing tool systems
• Choose blades specific to the materials you will cut (wood, metal, or multi-material blades)
• Assess whether cordless power and runtime meet the duration and intensity of your tasks

Usage recommendations

For best results use high-quality blades matched to each material, keep the blade sharp, and plan battery swaps for extended jobs. Wear appropriate personal protective equipment, secure the workpiece, and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions supplied with the tool and battery system.
