Makita XRJ05T 18-Volt 5.0Ah LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Recipro Saw Kit
Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Recipro Saw Kit. It has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application and is powered by the industry’s fastest charging 18-Volt lithium-ion batteries. With Makita, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries on the XRJ05T as they use across the Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool line-up. The XRJ05T is equipped with efficiency features for faster cutting. The long 1-1/4 in. stroke length increases cutting efficiency and the refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and reduces vibration. Convenience features include an LED light to illuminate the line of cut, a retractable tool hook and “tool-less” blade change for faster blade installation and removal. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18-Volt Lithium-Ion system, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18-Volt Lithium-Ion slide-style batteries. Makita 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.

Gilenuis –
I am a 5′, 97lb, 62 yr old woman. I bought this to cut down 5′ tall pine trees taking over my field. They were too big in diameter for my loppers. In 45 minutes I cut down 28 of them. The best part was that I could cut them close enough to the ground that my lawnmower could go over the stumps without poking the tires or hitting the blades. I have also cut down many scrub trees with trunks @ 4″ in diameter. I bought blades for pruning wood. And, I ran out of energy before the battery did. Love my Makita power tools.
