rjpcarpentry66's pick · Updated September 2026

Makita XVJ04Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw

Makita XVJ04Z 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Jig Saw, Tool Only
The pick

Being a carpenter & joiner I obviously use a lot of cordless tools and my go too brand is Makita , as the brand is very tough made , and extremely durable . So I needed a jigsaw and did some research on this model and decided to invest into one , on use it’s very good and doesn’t struggle under high pressure work , it cuts very accurately , and the only thing that would let you down would be a blunt blade , which are extremely easy to change with the clever quick change mechanism ( no tools needed) it can be set in an angle too which comes in useful . Battery lasts for a long while before needing charging. An invaluable tool for any of the construction industry . Highly recommended
