I have a few other Makita Tools, they all work great. This Jigsaw was perfect for small projects at home.

The saw has a pretty good run time for being cordless. Works as I expected it would, cuts great, has a plastic attachment for cutting on sure surfaces without marring.

Picked this up to replace my old corded Bosch. The conveyance of no cord is great. Been happy with all my Makita 18-Volt tools.

Like many, good price when “free” with the 5 amp, 2-battery and charger starter kits this Christmas. I was adding system batteries and replacing my old Sears 4-amp orbital saw, for Santa! I RTFM so found the hidden bevel hex key, but, think the Dewalt had a better idea as to using a lever. But… the hex key makes for way cleaner design. First time user using the T-blades, love it, fast and simple. Nice that a few starter blades were included, but slight take away that dust collector, hard case and guide not included with this expensive saw. That hard case is included with cheap starter drills so scratching my head over that decision. All in all the Makita is a big all around improvement over old pot metal, twin set-screw, (now stripped) blade holder on Sears saw.

Someone stole my 40 year old Swiss made Bosch jig saw so bought this to replace it with. Miss the blade blower and not quite as well balanced as my old plug model, but very pleased with my cordless Makita. Chose this non-brushless model because it runs at constant speeds and is unaffected by electronic battery management program like the more expensive model.
