Makita XRJ08Z Cordless Compact Recipro Saw

The Makita 18V LXT® Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw (XRJ08Z) is a versatile cutting solution that prioritizes speed and efficiency. With variable speed and low vibration, this tool offers the convenience of one-handed operation for quicker cutting tasks. The XRJ08 delivers 0 - 3,100 strokes per minute with a 7/8” stroke length, allowing for up to 55% faster cutting compared to other models.

Designed with a focus on reducing operator fatigue, this reciprocating saw features a low-vibration design that can reduce vibration by up to 40% when compared to the XRJ07ZXB model. The loop-shaped handle provides rigidity, improving cutting efficiency. With the ability to make up to 90 cuts in 2x10 lumber and 50 cuts in 1" schedule 80 steel pipe with a 5.0Ah battery (sold separately), this tool is built for performance.

In addition to its cutting capabilities, the One-Handed Recipro Saw is engineered with a counterweight mechanism to further reduce vibration levels. This leads to longer tool use time for the user. The compact and ergonomic design, measuring only 14-3/8” long, allows for easy maneuverability in tight spaces and overhead applications. Weighing just 5.5 lbs. with the battery installed, this saw minimizes operator fatigue.

Convenience features include a tool-less blade changing system for quick adjustments, an L.E.D. light to illuminate the workspace, and a rubberized soft grip for comfort during use. As part of Makita’s 18V Lithium-Ion system, users can expect fast charge times and extended battery life. The Star Protection Computer Controls™ technology ensures improved performance and protection against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.

With the ability to be powered by Makita 18V LXT® and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries, this reciprocating saw offers versatility for various tasks. The Makita-built brushless motor further enhances the cutting experience, delivering high speeds and efficiency. The one-handed grip is strategically positioned to transmit force to the workpiece effectively, making it a reliable tool for professionals and DIYers alike.
