Makita created a new class in cordless with 18-Volt LXT Sub-Compact tools. Makita Sub-Compact gives users 12-Volt handling with 18-Volt performance and compatibility with the world’s largest 18-Volt cordless tool system. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt LXT system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries. Makita 18-Volt LXT 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.

I just picked this saw up at the home depot the other day and have only used it a couple of times so far, but i can already tell this saw is MUCH much better than the smaller eighteen volt matkia saw with the two triggers. This one has much more power and the cuttinf stroke is much longer so it cuts faster. Moreover though the ergonomics of the handle and trigger are sooo much better. On the other saw i always struggled to get a comfortable and secure grip due to the wierd angle and design of the triggers on the other saw. This one is much more comfoetable ans you really feel like you have it solidly in your hand when using it. The other thing i love is that i can still use it one handedly. The LED light is an added bonus. I am happy with this purchase and it will serve my business well

Good tool. Great for tight spaces and lightweight. My only con is that it should come with tool bag or case to store it.

I have had great luck with all my Home Depot biz. Dave D. in particular made the re roof job I did last week as easy as could be. I have several Makita tools and all are top of the line.

Excellent tool. Bought two now.

I used this saw all day cutting electrical EMT conduit as well as threaded rod. It didn’t fail my expectations.I’m having to borrow the battery from my impact and driver set whenever needed which is the only drawback not having the battery included.
Bulah Cole (verified owner) –
Great grip position and even better power!!!

I’m not sure if $160 is worth it for this one. Makita has two other cordless 18-volts that are less but i got mine as part of the three tool combo kit and am so glad i did. I didn’t need one at the time but for $70 more, i felt I’d be very glad the day i needed it. This thing cut through wood and metal like no one’s business. It’s the only reciprocrating saw I’ve ever used so take my review lightly but i love it. It’s more compact than others so for something I’m rarely going to use, it wont take up much room in my tool box. Glad i bought it
