Batteries & charger NOT included - Compatible with Makita BL1830B, BL1840B, BL1850B, BL1860B 18v Li-ion Batteries. Features

Makita technology delivers category-leading charge time so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger (battery and charger sold separately)

It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The Makita 18V LXT® Brushless Jig Saw (model XVJ04Z, tool only, battery and charger sold separately) seamlessly combines precision and power with the efficiency of brushless in a more compact design. The XVJ04Z is engineered to deliver the power and performance of a corded jig saw, but without the hassles of a cord. It is ideal for professional woodworkers, cabinetry makers, specialized residential construction workers and any pro-contractor seeking a best-in-class cordless jig saw. Soft no load" function automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body. I could still make the cuts with the Makita XVJ01 brushless barrel grip jigsaw thanks to its slow start feature. The saw starts off at its slowest speed and then after the cut gets going, it ramps up. This is very helpful though not as precise as doing it yourself with the trigger on the D-handle models. Dust Free Cut Line To ensure accurate and clean cuts, the DJV184Z from Makita features an LED job light to illuminate the work area, which also can be used during standby mode.

Rapid Optimum Charger has a built-in fan to cool the battery for faster, more efficient charging (battery and charger sold separately) The XVJ02Z features a brushless motor and has 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The variable speed control dial (800-3,500 SPM) enables users to match the speed to the application. In addition, the efficient BL™ Brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. And since there are no carbon brushes, the BL™ Brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. As the above reviewer states, the body grip on the DJV181 is a key benefit. It allows you amazing levels of control over your cuts, especially curves. Equally, flip the jigsaw upside down, and the barrel grip is ideal for making plunge cuts from the underside of the material.The XVJ04Z has 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The variable speed control dial (0-3,000 SPM) enables users to match the speed to the application. In addition, the efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. And since there are no carbon brushes, the brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life. Soft no-load mode creates a more accurate starting cut by slowing increasing the speed of the blade when it engages the material The motor is brushless, which keeps the size and weight down. This also gives you more runtime from any 18V LXT battery you use, and makes the jigsaw very durable. The base plate can be angled left or right to 45º. Soft-start is a real bonus as it provides a greater level of control when you’re starting the cut. The motor gives you variable speed up to 3,500spm and a stroke length of 26mm. Therefore translating into cuts up to 135mm into wood and 10mm into steel. Tool-less" blade change lever allows for faster blade installation and removal for increased productivity Ergonomically rubberised handle provides comfortable gripping and more control while minimising hand fatigue and pain

I think the Makita XVJ01 brushless barrel grip jigsaw would be fine for anyone who prefers that type of grip. We just recommend you put your hands on it first. If you have very large hands, the shape of the battery compartment may make it uncomfortable—so test drive it first if at all possible. The JV100DZ 10.8V Jigsaw features a variable speed control trigger, and offers up to a 45 degree bevel in aluminium. Running on 10.8v power, you will be able to complete any project you are working on. The no load speed of up to 2,400 SPM will allow your bayonet shanks to cut into any surface. This jigsaw features a stroke length of 18 mm, while having a maximum cutting capacity in wood of 65mm and a maximum for mild steel at 2 mm. Equipped with Star Protection Computer Controls™ to protect against overloading, over-discharging and over-heatingIt’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. 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. A brushless electronic motor runs more efficiently than brushed types. This can help reduce the tool's energy consumption. Featuring a "Soft no load" function, which automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body. Makita-built brushless motor and 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting deliver faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials Rapid Optimum Charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature (battery and charger sold separately)
