About this item:
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.

It holds up for residential use. It's short design helps with getting around Toilets and tighter spaces. Still a little tight under some kitchen Sinks just have to find a good angle. I put a 6ah on it but really the smaller 2ah works for what I use it for. If your cutting wood or doing a demo then you want the bigger battery.
5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what I needed
I already have a sawzall-like saw. It's not a Milkwaukee, but actually a Hitachi, and it runs on 120VAC. It was too big for my current job, which is removing a bunch of prolific tree roots from the inside of my spa control housing. I was looking for a "mini sawzall" that runs from battery, and I prefer Makita tools, so this was it. It takes standard blades, but it's much smaller, and can easily be operated with one hand.

Best saw I ever had, had to cut down the three and wanted to do carefully branch by branch. So it was so easy. Smaller branches cut without any effort. Supper light and good control with one hand. Totally worth the money. Recommend to everyone . This is the three I cut
5.0 out of 5 stars Makita's Reciprocating Saw: A Symphony of Slicing Brilliance!
Oh, let me regale you with the epic tale of my encounter with the Makita Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Compact One-Handed Reciprocating Saw! This tool, my friends, is not just a saw; it's a magical wand that transforms mundane tasks into a whimsical journey of cutting delight.Firstly, let's talk about weight – or should I say, lack thereof? This saw is as light as a feather on a diet! I half-expected it to float away like a helium balloon when I first picked it up. It's like the unicorn of power tools, granting me the power to effortlessly wield it with the grace of a seasoned ninja.Maneuverability? It's like the Michael Jordan of the power tool world. I can practically dance around obstacles with this bad boy. I felt like a fencing maestro, gracefully parrying and thrusting my way through the toughest materials. PVC pipes quivered in fear as I approached, knowing their fate was sealed by the Makita's brushless brilliance.Now, let's discuss the cutting action – it's smoother than a jazz saxophonist sliding into a sultry riff. I sliced through pipes like a hot knife through butter, and PVC practically begged for mercy under the gentle touch of this reciprocating maestro. It's so smooth, I'm convinced it moonlights as a barber in its spare time.Battery life? It's like a marathon runner on an energy drink diet. I embarked on a cutting spree that would make Paul Bunyan blush, and the Makita didn't break a sweat. It's like the Energizer Bunny, but with more finesse and less drum-banging.And the noise! Or should I say lack thereof? This saw is quieter than a library during a power nap. I half-expected to hear a hushed "shhh" every time I revved it up. My neighbors probably thought I was practicing the art of silent sawing meditation.In conclusion, the Makita Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Compact One-Handed Reciprocating Saw is not just a tool; it's a symphony conductor orchestrating the most melodious cuts in the power tool repertoire. It's so good; I almost feel guilty not paying for tickets to watch its performance. Bravo, Makita, bravo!
5.0 out of 5 stars This is a great tool for my immediate needs of pruning and rough wood working!
Having used this Makita 18V Brushless Recipro saw for a couple of hours at three different locations I am totally satisfied with the results. I considered a 6" chainsaw but it looked a bit unsafe for a first time user so I opted for this unit which appeared to be much safer, especially with the blade guide and loop-shaped handle guard. I never used more than 50% of my 5.0Ah battery during the two hours of use. It may not cut as fast as a chainsaw but I considered risk of safety vs. reward of quickness of time. The cuts were all very clean.SAFETY FIRST!!!I recommend that the user Remove the Battery prior to all Blade changes. Always wear gloves and eye protection.
4.0 out of 5 stars Like the Impact Screw Driver - a real winner.
Excellent power and battery life, light weight. Combined with a Diablo blade, it is amazing for pruning. Very pleased. If it lasts like other Makita tools have, I will come back and upgrade to 5.No problem cutting roots on the surface of my lawn, no problem trimming a maple, and no problem topping a pine. Old hard shrubs just cut perfectly. What a great tool.
