The Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Reciprocating Saw (tool only) 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 (sold separately), allowing users to remain in 1 battery platform and use the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries on the XRJ04Z as they use across the Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool line-up. The XRJ04Z 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 2-finger variable speed trigger, electric brake, and tool-less blade change for faster blade installation and removal. 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. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18-Volt LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

great portable saw, powerful enough for most jobs.
Madisen Tremblay (verified owner) –
Fixed blade positions (up or down).Power and battery life seem appropriate for the work being done.
Stuart Von (verified owner) –
Great tool. Does heat up a little with prolonged use. Battery life is also less than what I expected.
Albertha Ritchie (verified owner) –
The saw works well, but I wish the battery had a longer life.
Andrew Feeney (verified owner) –
Very nice design. Built well, and well balanced. The quick change blade works really well and handy.

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 thing is a BEAST! It outperforms my corded Milwaukee…
Shana Waelchi (verified owner) –
Great tool, easy to use. The only problem I’d say that I have with it is that the battery life doesn’t seem to last much longer than a couple hours. Never used a battery powered sawsall before,but this tool uses a lot of power from the battery.
