Expected a quality product and it did not disappoint.

First use was to cut down a dead tree. Took three battery recharges, but it did the job, including the trimming the branches/trunks into firewood/kindling pieces. Not an ideal use for this product, but it did the job.Went on to cut conduit, wallboard, and many other tasks. It gets a bit warm after 60 seconds or more of continuous sawing, but it is still working well.Blade that comes with it is cheap. Buy high quality replacement blades ahead of time, you’ll be glad you did.

If you already have any of the LXT tools, this makes a great addition. Was concerned it wouldn’t hold up to a corded model. Glad to say it does.

I love my new “toy”! Works as advertised and is built like a tank. I guess it could be a bit heavy if you had to hold above your head or in awkward positions for extended periods… but overall great tool.

This saw is powerful. I had to cut up several feet of steel fencing. I was able to do it all on 1 battery charge. This is the best cordless reciprocating saw out there.

I like the power that it does have and I really like the quick connect for the blades.

I have been plumbing for 30 years and seen the cordless tools develop into what they are today, and i have to say this has as much power as a lot of corded reciprocal saws!! I have a Dewalt 18v sawzall and this saw has a lot more power !! the only other one i have used with this much power is the Milwaukee 18v.I need tools i can depend on to get the job done and this Makita saw is one such tool.

I got this for my Birthday and love it! who wouldn’t be happy about no more cords. lol. I wish Makita would at least throw in a branded tool bag to store and protect the Tool only line up. I give this tool 5 stars cause I know it is what it is and it is great!

Makita tools in my opinion are some of the best out there. Battery’s hold up well and the tools do what they are suppose to do.
