Easy to assemble and easy to use. Has great power compared to my old corded Porter Cable. Cuts thick branches with ease. I upgraded my cordless drill batteries to the larger ones, so this saw made sense and I’m glad I purchased it. I like the adjustable depth guide so you can use a fresh part of the blade to cut instead of reusing the dull part.

I had a Dewalt power tool set with a recipe saw in it. It was quit a bit noisier and the battery didn’t last as long. So I sold it and bought the Mikita and am very happy with the performance !!!

The tool is rugged, but without a case it is difficult to store.

It is so much better than one with the cord, and the battery life is surprisingly long, mine lasted over 4 hours.

I love mine! Now I don’t have to wait on my husband to get out the chainsaw, I just do it myself!!!!! Battery last around an hour, takes about 30 mins to recharge. I have 2 batteries so it works out well.

I use this saw for cutting 2 inch pvc pipe, 3/8 inch steel rod and 3/4 inch plywood. It cuts right through it. It will bind up or stop cutting if you do not cut straight or push to hard, but it has great power, precision and variable speed trigger.

The LXT tool system is excellent in every way and this reciprocating saw performs as expected. It offers oustanding performance especially for smaller jobs. The best application for these cordless tools I have found is the ability to have high performance and stay safe. I have used the cordless tools everywhere, but I appreciate them the most when working on a pitched roof, or any other place where a cord poses a serious safety risk.Remember, this is not a extreme demolition tool. It is however a great reciprocating saw.Remember, always keep your receipt. Makita has a 3 year warranty on LXT tools and they stand behind their products.

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.
