The 18-Volt LXT Brushless Cordless 5-7/8 in. Metal Cutting Saw delivers faster metal cutting through Unistrut, all thread, channel, corrugated, conduit, pipe, sheet metal, square tubing, steel and more. With a full 2-1/4 in. cutting capacity, it is ideal for electrical contractors as it will cut 2 conduit in 1 pass a huge time saver. It includes a transparent chip collector box to capture cutting debris. The brushless motor is engineered for efficiency and in run-time testing the Saw made up to 125 cuts per charge in 1 SCH 40 pipe using an 18-Volt 5.0 Ah battery. Makita offers optimum 5-7/8 in. blade options for use with the XSC02M: 32T carbide tipped for metal and general purpose, 52T for thin metal, 52T for aluminum, and 60T for stainless steel (all sold separately). Its part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the worlds largest cordless 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.

After the $150 sticker shock for this battery subsided, I have been completely satisfied with its longevity while using it to drive deck screws. Lasted a solid 6 hours with continuous use and the charger had it ready to go again in roughly 30 minutes.Highly recommend!

Works great with all my tools. Versatility and longevity of battery life is a “+” (pardon the pun!).

They seem to be lasting longer then the 3.0 I have. Not happy with the charging time, it states it’s a quick charger, but takes an hour to recharge the batteries.

Works exactly as it should.

Lasts a long time. Compatible with other Makita tool I have. Easy to use. Charges quickly.

If you don’t have one of these you are working a lot harder than you need to. Hacksaw, seldom ever use one now.Tin snips, seldom ever use them now.Cutting torch, seldom ever use one now.Chop saw, seldom ever use one now.This and the heavier duty corded version have redefined how I fabricate.Quick, simple and convenient. Cuts quick and the Makita blades last longer than anything else I have found so far.

Another great Makita product.

Ok so I bought this because I needed a charger that would charge my 5 makita batteries that I have and so far it does like it is supposed to. I have had zero issues and it definitely is an upgrade to the makita dc18sd that came with my impact driver.

Last much longer than the 3.0. A bit pricey though
