Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (XSR01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). It’s powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum 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 sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries with the XSR01Z as they use across the expansive Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool series. The XSR01Z has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. Users of leading corded saws will appreciate the blade-left rear-handle design. The electronically-controlled brushless motor delivers a full 5,100 RPM for efficient cutting. In internal testing, the XSR01Z made up to 558 cross-cuts per charge in 2×4 SPF lumber using two fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-9/16 in. cutting capacity at 90° that will cut 3X lumber in a single pass and an electric brake for maximum productivity.

Hi all. Just got this Dual Charger from Home Depot. Mine works good. Both Charger Slots operate Independently. Only complaint is, Fan is a little noisy when charging 2 at the same time.

The newer smaller batteries seem to have more power, hold it longer and re-charge faster.Big improvement over my old jig saw.

Very convenient excellent power a little heavy but the convenience is worth it.First job was cutting 6 x 6 timber. No issues at max cut depth and just rolled the timber to get a complete cut
Trystan Crooks (verified owner) –
Works great. Charges different batteries at different times which works out great. Doesn’t over heat the other battery when charging.

Every Makita tool is ergonomically designed and built with quality. I’m smaller than most U.S.Americans. But, I can get BIG jobs done, by using good tools. Makita is my favorite tool maker.

I love the compact size of these and the power.

Charges batteries quick, easy to use, reasonably priced. While working I always have one battery charging and ready to go to work.

Pretty good

I picked this Makita saw up for $100 as an open box item! This thing cuts like a dream and went through old pressure treated 2× like hot knife through butter. Good battery life. A little heavier than my DeWalt 20 volt 7-1/4″ but made for heavier work load.

Perfect saw for remodeling homes. Get the 5 amp/hr. Batteries for it. The 3 amp/hr. Batteries aren’t enough to work all day.

Good product

I was amazed at this tool & how much power it had. It feels & works like a worm drive saw

Powerful

This Makita saw had been a bit of a revelation. Coming from a Ryobi entry level circular saw, I didn’t realize how much time I would save by having something that tracked better, cut faster and more accurately and just made the work that much easier. It’s much heavier, though.

I used it the other day and it worked great.
