I was sorely tempted to splurge and get the Makita brushless jigsaw (currently $269), but grabbed the special offer to get the LXT jigsaw free with purchase of 5.0Ah batteries and charger (currently $199). Cordless saws are Makitas wheelhouse, and this tool lives up to reputation. Feels solid in hand, good ergonomics, consistent power, and easy blade changes. Corded jigsaws are much cheaper, but I am glad I finally went cordless.

I own three other (one corded and two cordless) jigsaws. I couldn’t bring myself to buy the Makita, because I convinced myself that I don’t use them quite enough to justify the cost. So, I fought with the two cordless ones (both of which came with weak batteries) and I generally have to plug in the corded one to finish the work. This Christmas when HomeDepot offered the 4Ah and a tool for $199, I bit. I have to say how silly I was not to spend the bucks and get this saw years ago. First the run time because of the Makita batteries. As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve had Makita batteries last 16 years, and the 4Ah are wonderful. This tool is crazy good. Makita thought of things (like the removable plastic plate) that keep me from having to cover it in tape. Mounting the blade is a one hand operation, that doesn’t require any tools. As with most of my Makita tools, there is a built in light that makes following the line on the board SO much easier. I like this Jigsaw!!!
