Our take on the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Battery and Charger Starter Pack with Recipro Saw

This is a Makita 18V LXT starter kit: two 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries, a DC18SD charger, and a recipro saw in one bundle. The 4.0 Ah packs are the mid-size option in Makita's LXT line, good for a few hours of cutting or driving per charge, and the charger refills one in about 90 minutes. It suits someone already on the LXT platform or buying their first LXT tool. No price was given for this listing, so check the current figure against the usual street price of a two-battery 4.0 Ah starter kit plus a bare recipro saw.

Questions and answers

Is this kit worth it over buying the saw and batteries separately?: Usually yes. A two-battery 4.0 Ah starter kit plus a bare recipro saw costs more bought piece by piece, so the bundle saves money if you need all three. If you already own LXT batteries, buy the bare saw instead.
How long does a 4.0 Ah battery last in the recipro saw?: Expect roughly 20 to 40 minutes of continuous cutting in lumber, less in metal or demolition work. Two packs in rotation with a 90-minute charger keep you going through a normal work day.
Will these batteries fit my other Makita tools?: Yes. The 4.0 Ah packs are standard 18V LXT and fit every LXT tool, including Star Protection models. They do not fit Makita's 12V CXT or 40V XGT lines.
What is in the box?: Two 18V LXT 4.0 Ah lithium-ion batteries, one DC18SD charger, and the recipro saw as a bare tool. Blades and a carrying case are not included.
How does the 4.0 Ah pack compare with 5.0 Ah?: The 5.0 Ah pack runs about 25 percent longer per charge and weighs slightly more. The 4.0 Ah is lighter and usually cheaper, which suits tools held overhead or used in short bursts.
When is this kit cheapest?: Makita bundles tend to drop around spring and Black Friday sales and when a new battery generation launches. Watch the price history before buying.
