Makita XRJ08Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw

The Makita XRJ08Z, a versatile 18V LXT® Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw, combines variable speed and low vibration with the convenience of one-handed operation, enabling faster and more efficient cutting. Powered by Makita's 18V Lithium-Ion system, the XRJ08Z delivers 0 - 3,100 strokes per minute combined with a 7/8" stroke length, resulting in up to 55% faster cutting compared to competitive models.

Engineered with a low-vibration design, the XRJ08Z features up to 40% less vibration than the previous model, XRJ07ZXB, reducing operator fatigue. This is achieved through a counterweight mechanism that contributes to lower vibration levels during cutting. The loop-shaped handle offers rigidity, improving cutting efficiency, and the compact and ergonomic design of only 14-3/8" long makes 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) and includes a tool-less blade changing system to minimize downtime between blade changes. Additionally, it features a built-in L.E.D. light to illuminate the workspace and a rubberized soft grip for increased comfort.

Makita's Star Protection Computer Controls™ technology further enhances the tool's performance and extends battery life by allowing 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. The XRJ08Z can be powered by Makita's 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol, indicating the presence of Star Protection.

The versatility of the XRJ08Z is further demonstrated by its ability to 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). This makes the One-Handed Recipro Saw a reliable and efficient tool for a wide range of cutting applications.

In summary, the Makita XRJ08Z 18V LXT® Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw offers a combination of power, versatility, and convenience, with a focus on reducing operator fatigue through its low-vibration design and ergonomic features. Its integration with Makita's expansive 18V Lithium-Ion system ensures compatibility and extended battery life, making it a valuable addition to any professional's tool arsenal.
