Makita XVJ05Z 18V LXT Li-Ion Brushless Cordless Barrel Grip Jig Saw Tool Only

The Makita 18V LXT® Brushless Jig Saw (XVJ05Z, tool only) combines precision and power with the efficiency of a brushless motor in a compact design. The XVJ05Z is engineered to deliver the power and performance of a corded jig saw but without the hassles of a cord. It is ideal for professional woodworkers, cabinetry makers, specialized residential construction workers and any pro-contractor seeking a best-in-class cordless jig saw. The XVJ05Z features an ergonomically designed barrel grip, which is closer to the work surface for more precise cuts.The XVJ05Z has 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting for faster and more accurate cuts in a variety of materials. The variable 5-speed control dial (800-3,000 SPM) enables the user to match the speed of the tool to the application. In addition, the efficient brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge than similar non-brushless tools. Electronic controls efficiently use battery energy to match the changing demands of the application for increased power and speed when needed. And since there are no carbon brushes, the brushless motor runs cooler and more efficiently for longer life.Convenience features include a “tool-less” blade change system that allows for faster blade installation and removal, On/Off button with a separate lock button for workpiece protection, and dual L.E.D. lights to illuminate the work area. The base bevels and locks from 0° to 45° left or right for more precise bevel cuts. It weighs only 5.0 lbs. with an 18V LXT® 5.0Ah battery (sold separately).It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V LXT System, the world’s largest cordless tool system powered by 18V lithium-ion slide-style batteries. Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls™. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita® 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
