Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Recipro Saw Kit. It has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application and is powered by the industry’s fastest charging 18-Volt lithium-ion batteries. With Makita, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries on the XRJ05T as they use across the Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool line-up. The XRJ05T 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 an LED light to illuminate the line of cut, a retractable tool hook 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.

Fantastic tool, very powerful, not too heavy, excellent for demo work. I’m invested in the whole Makita cordless system and have zero complaints so far.

Plenty of power. 2 speed settings. The rafter hook is essential for our remodeling needs.

Everything Makita is top of the line and this drill follows suit! We’ve only used it for a small project so far, but it worked well and we can’t wait to use it on the next one too.

I bought this saw for a field job to cut off galvanized steel posts. I cut off about 35 posts in an hour or so and only used about half a battery charge. This is way more powerful than I expected, and the batteries are compatible with my Makita drill drivers.

Ordered online and delivered in 2 days just in time for a difficult and dirty job. Battery lasted much longer than expected and saw was very handy and smooth running. Only problem I had to buy a new battery charger as the old one I had for other tools did not meet the spec. for this new battery.

Great tool. Two speed motor to save battery or time. Been very useful clearing down tree branches in my yard. Has a side arm that folds flush with the tool but can swing out to hang from your belt or truck!
