Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Reciprocating Saw Kit. It’s powered by two 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately) for 36-Volt power and performance and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting and demolition that traditionally called for a corded reciprocating saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries on the XRJ06Z as they use across the Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool line-up. The XRJ06Z 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, 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.
- Powerful BL brushless motor delivers 0-3,000 (metal cutting) and 0-2,300 (wood cutting) strokes per minute for faster cutting
- Long 1-1/4 stroke length provides increased cutting efficiency
- 2-18V LXT lithium-ion batteries deliver the power and performance of a corded reciprocating saw without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform (batteries not included)
- Refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and reduces vibration
- BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
- Efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
- Electronically controlled BL brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
- Large 2-finger variable speed trigger for operator convenience
- “Tool-less” blade change system allows for faster blade installation and removal for increased productivity
- Electric brake for maximum productivity
- Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions
- Rubberized soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job
- Built-in LED light with preglow and afterglow illuminate the work area
- Reinforced fixed shoe for added durability
- Retractable tool hook secures the tool when not in use
- Ergonomic design at only 17-3/4 in. long
- Weighs only 9.3 lbs. with battery (battery not included) for reduced operator fatigue
- Equipped with star protection computer controls to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating

Pretty good

Works as it should although I bought it to replace a failed one.
Susanna Cormier (verified owner) –
Charges batteries quick, easy to use, reasonably priced. While working I always have one battery charging and ready to go to work.

Great saw a little bottom heavy but got use to it after a couple of hrs. Keep the blade nice and sharp and it will cut like butter
Elliott Murphy (verified owner) –
I already had a single charger with the Makita set I bought several years ago. It makes recharging multiple batteries at the same time more cost-effective, without having to stop work.
Kendra Jast (verified owner) –
Lots of power I would compare it to same as corded not much heavier than Corded. Very happy with it
Burdette Deckow (verified owner) –
Very fast charger
Gladys Bergnaum (verified owner) –
The only thing wrong with this saw is it is heavy. Other then that it is everything my old Tiger (heavy too) saw was just without any cord to drag around. The belt/rafter hook is a great addition. This is my 5th x2 Makita tool I think it is a great system.

long battery life and plenty of power to tackle heavy jobs quick
Oliver Blick (verified owner) –
An amazing tool!!
Teagan Beatty (verified owner) –
I love this makita, this has to be hands down the best handheld Recipricating saw I’ve ever owned. My only concern is that this unit looked somewhat used right out of the packaging. If your paying 299$ for a saw make sure it’s new.
Theresia Lockman (verified owner) –
Had an old above ground pool I had to get rid of. Went through the sides like butter.
Raven Mills (verified owner) –
Very powerful and long lasting batteries. Heavy but not too heavy. Good price
Wayne Fritsch (verified owner) –
Although requires two 18volt batteries, the weight is still not bad. Excellent cutting capabilities and smooth running. I love it!
Avery Hermann (verified owner) –
Works as advertised. Never have problems with it. I have both OEM batteries as well as aftermarket and both get the quick charge I need and expect.
Kiana Ebert (verified owner) –
I love Makita products for the reliability and performance. As a contractor, we try to use the very best tools and this saw has been great!
Devin Walter (verified owner) –
Power full with two speed
Monty Denesik (verified owner) –
This surpassed the first ricipro saw in all classes. I highly recommend this to what ever trade relies on a good ricipro saw.
Carolyne Hane (verified owner) –
The batteries don’t last a good amount of time. You have to charge it every hour.

This saw is a beast
