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.

18volt LXT lithium-Ion tools are NOT compatible with previous 18v lithium Makita batteries! That was the big mistake that I made. I have the Makita drill and driver set that used the 18v lithium batteries and thought I could just buy this saw ($99) and the batteries I already had would work. That is not the case and added an unexpected headache and expense to my project. I had to go back to the store and buy the LXT battery and charger ($150). If I had known the two batteries were not interchangeable, I don’t know that I would have made the purchase. The saw is heavier then I expected and the blade that came with it, bent easily as I was cutting 1 inch diameter tree roots. I should have done more homework before the purchase.

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 tool is light, easy to use, making it a powerful tool to add to your existing makita collection. The blade is adjustable and easy to replace. Has a lock/unlock trigger as well as lock/unlock blade removal/adjustment.

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 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.
