The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Recipro Saw Kit combines cutting speed with convenience features for faster, more efficient cutting. It’s powered by the industry’s fastest-charging 18-Volt lithium-ion batteries, allowing users to remain in one battery platform and use the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries on the XRJ04T as they use across the Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool line-up. The XRJ04T is equipped with efficiency features for faster cutting. The long 1-1/4 in. stroke length increases cutting efficiency and the refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and reduces vibration. Convenience features include a large two-finger variable speed trigger, electric brake and “tool-less” blade change for faster blade installation and removal. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

Fixed blade positions (up or down).Power and battery life seem appropriate for the work being done.

Great saw all around for a contractor. Battery life far surpasses dewalt Ryobi and rigid tools.

Just purchased it a couple of days ago for a great price. I already have some other 18v LXT Makita tools and batteries so I got just the bare tool. I had to cut up some drywall for a project. Used the included blade and was able to get the drywall cut out quickly with ease in a couple of seconds. The trigger is pretty easy to control and the longer stroke gets the job done fast.

This is a beast,it feels as strong as my old corded one if not stronger. Does what you want it to do. I haven’t needed it for extended period so not sure on battery life.

The saw works well, but I wish the battery had a longer life.
Simeon Leannon (verified owner) –
Excellent product !!
Abigale Turcotte (verified owner) –
Great tool. Does heat up a little with prolonged use. Battery life is also less than what I expected.
Evie Mann (verified owner) –
Works great great power
Katrina Parker (verified owner) –
Great tool not to heavy and easy to use …I use it for minor cuts on the trees… instead of a chainsaw …
Arjun Borer (verified owner) –
It’s a good tool. I was hoping for more power, but I guess that’s why the brushless option is available. Overall I can’t complain. It gets the job done.
Cleta Senger (verified owner) –
This saw was just what I wanted. Run great, battery life great, portable. The majority of my power tools are Makita, never lets me down
