Absolutely brilliant product. Batteries are really powerful and last for ever (not actually "for ever" so don't sue me!). The saw is really smooth to use and very controllable compared with my 240v Bosch, which is now going in the bin, No disrespect to Bosch, I bought a cheap saw years ago, things have really come on since then and I have a few excellent Bosch products. I digress. The charger keeps cool with the use of a fan and charges the batteries really quickly and the whole package is really compact. I can't believe how easy the saw is to use, it's superbly balanced. I am so happy I went with the Makita and hopefully I'll start building up my collection of 18v tools. The power lock system is very simple to use as is tool removal lever. A top design all round.

Its delivered the following day after buying with eBay's 15% discount voucher. Got a corded Makita version of this so its comparatively excellent with it be cordless. Starting speed is good and the complimentary blades that came with it helps as it has three different ones metal, wood and the narrow for wood if cutting curves. As a Makita user its 5 star. Maybe a free fence would be welcome not extra.

As I have a couple of spare 18v batteries with my Makita drill decided to stop carting that 110v transformer and jigsaw around and invest in this battery drill, should have done it years ago, does everything just as well, quick & easy to use and takes up less than half the room in the back of my van. Anyone want a 110v transformer?

Everything you'd expect from Makita. Good quality , smooth cutting & a very accurate cut. I've got loads of the makita cordless 18v lxt power tools & this jigsaw is equally as good as all the others. Being in the trade you simply need good power tools which you can rely on & this is one of them. Top tool.

I am very pleased with this purchase. The Makita jigsaw came as a bare unit with no battery but including a detachable base for fine cutting, a dust extraction fitting and 6 jigsaw blades. The unit works beautifully with very little vibration or noise and cuts accurately and efficiently. It exhausted my 1.5 Ah battery quite quickly but lasts well using a 4.0 Ah battery. If you are buying a battery separately I would recommend getting the larger capacity: the unit is still very light and well-balanced.
