The Makita 12-Volt MAX CXT Lithium-ion Cordless 3-3/8 in. Circular Saw delivers power and speed in an ultra-compact size for a range of cutting applications.

For longer run time, all 12-Volt MAX CXT cordless tools are also compatible with the 12-Volt MAX CXT Lithium-ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B). 12-Volt MAX CXT Lithium-ion batteries are engineered with a Battery Protection Circuit that protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating.

I’m not giving it a low score but I did have to return it bc of my own issue of not reading it was a 12v and not 18v. This would have been perfect if it was 18v but bc I would have had to have bout a battery that wouldn’t go with any of my other (6) Makita cordless power tools I’m giving it a 4.

Purchased this tool for trim work and have found it be a great little saw. It is a light duty tool to be sure, but it makes accurate cuts, is easy to maneuver and works better than I expected with more power. Have ripped plywood with it (1/2”), cut off fence panels and cut 5/4 decking boards.

This is part of my personal power tools for my house. The Makita 12v tools are compact, easy to use, and easy to carry. They are very useful for what I use them for. I can interchange the battery.

Good tool, just disappointed that it did not include Battery and Charger
Jocelyn Armstrong (verified owner) –
I like this tool so far, it’s not quite like the one I had before, but it does it’s job. My only issue is having to buy the battery and charger separately…which drives me insane.

I do a LOT of drywall work and have to cut 1”x 2” wood for bracing all the time so this tool is perfect for that and cutting smaller sections of drywall. Hope makita comes out with an 18v version of this tool!
