Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Recipro Saw (tool only). 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 18V lithium-ion batteries (sold separately). With Makita, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18V batteries on the XRJ05Z as they use across the Makita 18V LXT cordless tool line-up. The XRJ05Z 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 L.E.D. light to illuminate the line of cut, a retractable tool hook and “tool-less” blade change for faster blade installation and removal. 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 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

I’ve been using it to dismantle 1/16” stainless tubing with carbide blades and it just eats. Also used to to turn a geo metro into a convertible and the geo stood no chance. This saw was a great buy.

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 saw. Plenty of power, good balance, comfortable to use. Had it about a month, most recent use was on a demo project to cut through headers, remove nail-embedded studs, cut through several aluminum window frames, worked great for everything.

Have always used Makita tools. They are innovative in functionality and as a 35 year contractor they are built to last.

Love it

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.

Price fair but brand is better
Alvera Daugherty (verified owner) –
I never saw a sawzall with 2 speeds but it works well with better control in tight places. Well built as with all Makita products. Battery lasts all day on one charge.
