I have not tried it as of now but the fact is no cord

A nice addition to my Makita set. A little heavier than I expected. The trigger is variable speed which I don’t think I read in the description. They’ve improved the blade release also.

Perfect weight and balance and performance. Needs a blower to clear the sawdust to complete the package.

Epic, absolutely love this tool. Extremely handy and a major upgrade from my Ryobi

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.

I was sorely tempted to splurge and get the Makita brushless jigsaw (currently $269), but grabbed the special offer to get the LXT jigsaw free with purchase of 5.0Ah batteries and charger (currently $199). Cordless saws are Makitas wheelhouse, and this tool lives up to reputation. Feels solid in hand, good ergonomics, consistent power, and easy blade changes. Corded jigsaws are much cheaper, but I am glad I finally went cordless.

IMHO, this is a GREAT tool. It has a nice, hefty, quality feel to it, and it isn’t “too” heavy with battery in place.I purchased it in order to cut some 1″ X 3″ hard (and I mean HARD!) wood at an angle. The adjustable sole plate worked to perfection. On straight cuts, the blade didn’t “wobble” or “veer”, so my straight cuts were….STRAIGHT! As far as I know this is the only 18V MAKITA that has a blade light, and the light made the job that much easier. This saw also has a “quick blade release”, so the blades are not the “usual’ jig-saw blade. They have a “T”-shaped shank that locks them in with the quick release…a NICE feature.Finally, this saw is NOT a “brushless” tool. All of the others in the 18V line ARE. Personally, I don’t consider this to be a problem, but I’m an “Old Guy”, and I am used to “Old Guy Tools”.In summary, a nice tool and a nice, versatile, addition to my 18V set.

It’s heavier than expected, but feel solid/built like a rock. It’s a Makita!

Great tool. Makita makes a great product. Not as powerful as expected. There’s no real noticible difference between this and 12v jigsaw I bought this to replace, which is also half the size.

Love it. Cuts anything you put to the test. Not sure of battery life but a Makita will last and last. All my other 18vdc Makita tools last as long as I cut and drill. I’m sure this will. Recommend.

A great jigsaw in Makita’s LXT line. I am a hobbiest woodworker and my current project is a retro mid-century record console. My old skill jig saw was on its last legs so I decided to go with this model. Wow! I love this jigsaw. Easy to use and with good blades I am getting great cuts. Kicking myself for not upgrading years ago. Highly recommend this jigsaw.
