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 my husband’s favorite drill. I bought him the 5.0Ah battery and he loves the extended time, not having to stop to charge it is a game changer.

I like everything about this saw except the on/off switch and lock switch….very time consuming, hard to push and in an inconvenient location…it sucks…..

I have used all kinds of batteries for multiple brands and systems but none of them compare to the 5a. The star protection keeps you going through the whole job. One 5a battery all day or multiple 3a batteries throughout your day? You decide but I’ll take only one battery for the job any day.
