Makita XRJ05T 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Recipro Saw Kit (5.0Ah)

It will take the place of your corded tool. BUY IT. You don't realize how important a soft start is until you have one. Once you get a feel for the brushless motor power control, you'll notice it ramp up when the cutting bears down and it'll tear right through anything you throw at it. With one 5ah battery and a good carbide metal bit, you can get through most of a work day with this beast. This thing can rip through any wood and now outperforms corded metal models. If you really need a tool for the job, go ahead and spend the money on four 5AH batteries and a dual charger. You'll be able to outrun the guys who are tripping over their extension cords.

I use this saw all the time because I work in plumbing and heating, and it can handle any job you throw at it, including the largest gas pipes, metal framing, and so on. without difficulty I had a makita cordless sawzall before, but now I can't use it because I have this. Everyone raves about how powerful it is; I even purchased a cast iron blade and used it to cut through 5 pieces of 4 inch black pipe in the first week. Aside from being lighter than the previous brushed model and having a lot of power for a cordless sawzall, I've done some things to it that I probably shouldn't have. Every time I use it and drop it on the ground, I remind myself that this is a very expensive and high-quality tool, which is why I can use it and drop it on the ground again. Makita tools are impossible for me to break. It also has two settings; for metal, I use the slower setting, and for wood, I use the faster setting. Great saw.

Cable. I've had an old (but excellent) Porter cable for years. I was hooked after trying my friend's Sawzall. I already own several Makita 18V tools, so this "brushless" model was an easy decision. br>br>- Yes, you do require two speeds. a middle "safe" position for soft and tough materials to protect your hands when changing blades or when not in usebr>br>- Rafter Hanger, very practicalbr>br>- You don't realize how nice a soft start is until you have it.

I'm dismantling and reassembling a. This is a fantastic saw. I'm tearing down and rebuilding a 900 square foot house. ft. deck. Under this thing, I have 55 4 x 4 posts with the joists nailed to the posts. Diablo carbide 9" blades were used for this project. The majority of the posts have five nails. The nails are sliced like butter with this combination. The battery life is extremely impressive. There isn't a lot of vibration in this saw because it's well balanced. I am an 80-year-old woman. year- This job is made much easier by the presence of an elderly man and the use of a saw. I have an older 13 amp saw that is just as powerful but has a lot less vibration.

I believe I received a phony or a dud. This shakes so badly that I got blisters on both thumbs in less than 5 minutes while pruning small tree limbs while wearing gloves. The battery life was nil, so I went through three and started a fourth, which was number five. In less than a half hour, you'll have 0 mah batteries. These batteries are almost new, and they work fine with the rest of my Makita tools. The battery life on all of my other Makita tools is excellent. I bought it new and unopened from "ShowTimeTools," so it's possible that there's a problem with the products that seller is selling. Because I truly believe in Makita, I will most likely try another from a store where I can test it first. My other Makita tools, which number in the hundreds, are all five-star. br>I'll keep you updated if I get a resolution, for example.

I bought a set of cordless tools a few years before I started my own business. Ryobi was the cheapest, and they did a good job for me. "This is great!" I thought, especially when they released their 4Ah lithium batteries. These are extremely long-lasting. "br>However, their circular saw was a WASTE OF TIME! That's why, in the year 2020, I decided to upgrade my cordless set. But how do you know which brand to choose? . . . br>Makita wasn't even on my radar, but after reading all of the legitimate reviews (actual "hands-on" reviews), I decided to give it a try. Makita 18V LXT was rated first or second for nearly every tool by professionals. They also have great sales on a regular basis, which helps to close the gap in price. Obtain the 7-point checklist. When it's on sale for $249, you can get a 1/4" circular saw kit with two extra 5Ah batteries (for a total of four). That's a great way to start. With great batteries and a 2-year warranty, you can get started with your kit right away. charger for batteries br>The decision has been made! The LXTs are fantastic as well! I had no idea how much of a difference a high-end tool could make. What exactly does the XRJ05 recip saw have to do with all of this? This- On my truck, I used to have two reciprocating saws: a Ryobi cordless for small jobs and a Milwaukee corded Sawzall for bigger jobs that required more power and speed. br>At this point, there is only one.

The saw is very nice, and changing blades is a breeze. It has a lot of weight. Brushless tools, I thought, didn't get as hot as non-brushless tools. This saw gets HOT after a few minutes, even with brushless tools. It's even hotter than my old, non-working air conditioner. A reciprocating saw from DeWalt that is brushless. It's quite a power guzzler. However, it is a good tool that I enjoy using. Only time will tell if it can withstand a lot of abuse. br>Recent changes: the 26th of November in the year 2020 Following the completion of a number of difficult tasks, This saw has performed admirably in heavy-duty jobs (chopping down hardwood limbs and stumps). It's something I'd buy again if the opportunity arose.

In addition, it is by far the best. The tiny one they have is terrible with metal; this thing flies right through it. It took me a long time to get this, and given that it was the most expensive, I should have just gotten it first and done with it.
