Another great precision-engineered quality product from Makita, and best of all — no cord! 🙂

I am a professional contractor and this unit is def underpowered. It just does not have the speed and cutting power needed for denser woods or even 2x material. It also does NOT have the air blower feature for clearing off the dust at the blade…which is a frustration. If you are a homeowner looking for a well priced, battery operated jigsaw than this is a good unit. It is a quality build but it has its limitations. I would def recommend the BRUSHLESS motor versions for much better performance!

Simply a fantastic tool. Love being able to move the router and not deal with a cord. Highly recommended. Plunge works great as well.

Much better quality than my plug in jigsaw and still has plenty of power

The saw works excellent. I have several Makita 18 volt tools but this is my first cordless jig saw. So much less trouble not getting a cord to plug an A.C. powered saw in.

Great little router. More than enough power and easy to handle. Only complaint is the hole in the base on the fixed router portion is too small to accommodate larger bits. Easy fix is to run a bit through it which I did.

This is one of the best jigsaws I ever had. Well built and powerful. 4 stars cause it’s rather a heavy tool.

this router works flawlessly. Battery lasts for a full day, plus, and charging time is quick enough that you only need the two that are supplied with the kit. In fact, I use the second battery for my Makita hand planner, and both work great.

Easy to use, not much vibration. I am glad I bought it

Time will tell. I haven’t had it long enough to see how long it lasts. But it seems to have a lot of power
