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.

I used D-Handle jig saws all my life. I was looking for a compact cordless jig saw that would fit in a pack-out system. Due to the price, I almost went with a traditional Makita D-Handle. I think with the proper blade and repetition a guy could probably toss his scroll and coping saws and use this for all of those cuts. There are three things I don’t like about it: 1- price $100 more than a D-Handle. 2- the on/off switch is a little too far forward for my thumb to reach. It forces you to use your other hand or lay the saw on its side to turn it off. If your backing or pulling out of a cut the operator can bend a blade rather easily because he cant reach the on/off switch. 3- it needs a little air to blow the dust away from the cut. The LED is a nice feature and changing blades is awesome. Despite the things I don’t care for, I would still buy it again.
