Very nice, works great. You can orient the cutter in any direction or change it without using tools. Just lift up the lever on the front. Has a variable speed dial also. The on/off switch stays on without having to hold the button in the whole time.

Took it out of the box and have not stopped using it.

An unexpectedly effecient and powerful little tool for a battery-operated portable. I used it to cut plywood subfloor up to the walls after doing the long cuts with a conventional floor saw. Very handy!

Works great and real heavy duty. It’s worth the money.
Freeman Bartoletti (verified owner) –
It works great but it is very heavy

Wow I love this tool! I was surprised how well it actually cut. And you can get into spots that are tough with other saws. I’m pretty sure I’ve only scratched the surface of the ways I can use it.

Works great, love the quick release feature. A little too heavy, but you can feel the quality in your hands.

I got it for a Christmas present and haven’t opened the box yet,but a friend has one and I know it works great.

Makita’s line of LXT 18 volt tools is unsurpassed in my opinion… not having to worry one bit if you will ever have the right battery, and they make literally every tool imaginable. It’s a no-brainer!

This thing is absolutely amazing. I bought it to cut the hole in my cabinet for an over the range microwave hood vent. At first I was trying to do it with a jigsaw but I couldn’t get close enough to the wall (needed to be flush). I also couldn’t get a sawzall up in the cabinet but that wouldn’t probably have worked any way. I saw this thing in a YouTube video and immediately went out and bought it. It did not let me down! This is the perfect saw for those weird cuts that you can’t make with a jigsaw or a sawzall. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. Highly recommended.

Cute like butter! Would you expect anything less from Makita?
Mellie Vandervort (verified owner) –
Had one before but it was give to my son, so I had to get another. Good reason to get a new one.

The tool does what it is made for but the only thing I did not like is its to heavy and it does not have a variable speed on it but i do like the quick release to change the blade.
Florencio Collier (verified owner) –
This saw is light enough, even with the battery, to be very manageable for me to use. I have used on many projects and I love it.

The lightweight circular saw is easy to use and handle.
