Description

The 18V LXT® Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw (XRJ08Z) is a versatile cutting solution that combines variable speed and low vibration with the convenience of one-handed operation for faster and more efficient cutting. The XRJ08 delivers 0 - 3,100 strokes per minute combined with a 7/8” stroke length for up to 55% faster cutting. It offers a low-vibration design that reduces operator fatigue with up to 40% less vibration (when compared to model number XRJ07ZXB). The loop-shaped handle offers rigidity for improved cutting efficiency. It can perform Up to 90 cuts in 2x10 lumber, and up to 50 cuts in 1" schedule 80 steel pipe with a 5.0Ah battery installed (battery and charger sold separately). The One-Handed Recipro Saw is engineered with a low- vibration design that features up to 40% less vibration. The XRJ08 is equipped with a counterweight mechanism that contributes to lower vibration levels when cutting. Low vibration levels contribute to longer tool use time for the user. Convenience features include a compact and ergonomic design of only 14-3/8” long making it ideal for working in tight spaces and overhead applications. To aid in reducing operator fatigue, the One-Handed Recipro Saw weighs only 5.5 lbs. (with battery, sold separately). It features a tool-less blade changing system to minimize downtime between blade changes. It has a built-in L.E.D. light that illuminates the workspace and a rubberized soft grip for increased comfort. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is a communication technology that allows the Star Protection- equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.

  • Excellent Weight and Performance
Style: Recipro Saw
Aside from the quality and reliability of Makita brand, the portability, weight, design, and performance of this product is truly astounding! I used a knockoff 18V 8.0mah battery to power this product and it cut small trees and branches like a hot knife through butter. I’m loving this tool!

  • 4.4 lbs not 1 lb, but this is an amazing saw and I'm a small, senior woman
Style: Recipro Saw
I love this saw so much...I needed to get rid of an old picnic table in my backyard. I tried a cordless Dewalt reciprocating saw and and a Makita 5-3/8 cordless circular saw to dismantle the picnic table and neither would cut through the wood. So, I bought this Makita saw and used a Diablo pruning saw and I was finally able to make some progress. The vibration is minimal too which helped a lot. I originally bought this saw because the description said it only weighed 1 lb but it actually weighs 4.4 lbs according to my scale. But it was easy to use because the handle is slim and it is not bulky with low vibration. I am 70, petite in height and weight and this is a blessing...so thank you Makita! ... show more

  • Great for Pruning Trees and Shrubs
Style: Recipro Saw
Got tire of using hand saw for shrub and tree branches and then having to cu down to size for disposal. Tool is nice and light (able to use one handed) and made quick work of my landscaping. Worked right out of box able to use same battery as my Makita drill. VERY HAPPY!

  • Another excellent Makita tool
Style: Recipro Saw
I bought this to replace an M18 one-handed sawzall and I don't regret it one bit. Powerful and very comfortable to use. The blade release mechanism is much nicer to use. Well worth the price.

  • Awesome Cutting Machine
Style: Recipro Saw
This is a bad-ass piece of equipment! Ultra high revs and it cuts through everything. It has replaced the sawzall as my favorite tool. A blast to run and a great tool to have available.

  • A few irritating issues but I decided to keep the saw A few irritating issues but I decided to keep the saw
Style: Recipro Saw
I own a LOT of Makita battery tools. My old 21 year old battery Makita recip saw finally died. Changing battery powered tools manufacturers is expensive due to battery and charger cost so that was out. This new Makita arrived and I like the fact that it’s very light, compact and brushless. it does NOT come with a belt hook or a carry bag. I can’t even find a part number for the belt hook on the Makita site or Google. I located and bought a pair of ala carte Makita hooks from Amazon for $7 because I use the belt hook very frequently. It’s irritating that at $170 price point the hook isn’t included. The shoe around the blade is NOT removable or adjustable which is really lame. Sometimes the shoe is in the way of an obstruction, gets bent, damaged or lacks enough articulation and it needs to be removed or replaced. Not happening with this saw. Third, this thing is made in China. I checked around and almost every recip saw, even most of the fancy high end German recip saws are Chinese made. I located a nearly new corded Skilsaw 13 amp recip saw on eBay with a detachable foot and tool bag. So when I need light weight and speed of use, I have the Makita from Amazon and when I need a powerhouse recip saw, I have the Skilsaw “Buzzkill” model that cost me $50. But for $170, this Makita saw should be a LOT better. ... show more

  • One of the most useful tools ever
Style: Recipro Saw
This is such a useful tool and so much easier and more maneurable than my old style Sawzall. Great for projects around the ranch and home. I use it to cut small branches, boards, even cuts fence posts.

  • Great tool,
Style: Recipro Saw
Just a marvelous tool. Light, balanced, powerful and the variable speed gives you total control of the cut. I use mostly for various yard maintenance and it's a time saver.
