Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion is the worlds largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery. At the heart of the LXT Series are the 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion battery and the efficient Rapid Optimum Charger. The new 18-Volt lithium-ion dual port rapid optimum charger (DC18RD) charges 2 batteries simultaneously, giving tool users unparalleled charging efficiency so their batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The 18-Volt Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery by forcing air through the battery’s air vents during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the battery’s built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature. The result is category-leading charge times: two 18-Volt Compact lithium-ion 2.0 Ah batteries in only 25-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 3.0 Ah batteries in only 30-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 4.0 Ah batteries in only 40-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 5.0 Ah batteries in only 45-minutes.

I find Makita to be a consistent performer, and for my residential construction business/needs it’s my go to brand and what I reach for most, especially for any task where accuracy and attention to detail are concerned. This saw actually blew me away. It’s extremely light, accurate, and powerful.

Solid unit. I haven’t used it a ton yet, but so far it’s just like a plug in.

It chews up 6 AMP and 5 AMP duel batteries in less than 10 Minutes. To heavy and awkward to handle in certain situation.Price reduction was the only reason I decided to try it. Would certainly not buy it at regular price…

Works really well, I bought it to replace my dewalt 20v 7-1/4” sliding miter saw. Very smooth start up and stop, runs forever. I used it for the installation of 700 feet of hickory hardwood flooring in a really cut up area and I only had to change the batteries out 2 times over the course of 6 days.

I have not gotten into any heavy projects yet but it seems to be a great saw. It shipped well, was 90 degrees out of the box and has good fit and finish. Plenty of power.
Jerrell Mohr (verified owner) –
Works as it should although I bought it to replace a failed one.
Terry Heathcote (verified owner) –
The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.
