Makita is a leader in brushless motor technology, and the Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Barrel Grip Jig Saw (model XVJ01Z, tool only, battery and charger sold separately) seamlessly combines precision and power with the efficiency of brushless. The XVJ01Z is engineered to deliver the power and performance of a corded jig saw without the hassles of a cord. It is ideal for professional woodworkers, cabinetry makers, specialized residential construction workers and any pro-contractor seeking a best-in-class cordless jig saw. The XVJ01Z features an ergonomically designed barrel grip, which is closer to the work surface for more precise cut. The brushless motor is engineered for efficiency, with a variable speed control dial (800-3,500 SPM) that enables users to match the speed to the application. Added features include 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. In addition, the efficient BL Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. And since there are no carbon brushes, the BL Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. This Promotion also comes with a bonus BL1850B 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion 5.0 Ah Battery.

This is a very handy and efficient jig saw. The grip is very comfortable and the tool is well balanced with the battery installed. Blades are super easy to install and remove. Battery life is great.

This batter was bought to replace the original battery that quit after two charge phase. So far this one has taken one charge and is working OK. But the original battery went to Makita for replacement and I haven’t received the replacement yet. I would rate higher but so far I am seeing a 25% failure and that is not accecptable.

I ordered this online and picked up in store. When I ordered it I didn’t realize that it had no trigger button to operate like other jigsaws only the on-off button at the front. This is awkward to use especially if you have gloves on. Really wanted this unit to replace my older brushed model but the awkward operation of the unit was too much and I returned it for a refund. I did end up ordering the brushless model which the regular style jigsaw. The barrel grip jigsaw appears to be a well made unit but the operation of it is just too awkward for me……

I read that this tool had a function to disable the soft start which it ships with. I’ve tried 20 different times following the proper button push and dial rotation order outlined to turn it off but it doesn’t work. Other than that, great tool!

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!

It has so much power and last so long, of course it is new. But my son has Makita and they have worked good for him for a long time, that’s why I switched to Makita.
