The Makita XRJ08Z is a compact 18V LXT brushless recipro saw built for one-handed use. It runs 0–3,100 strokes per minute with a 7/8-inch stroke and a counterweight that cuts vibration by up to 40% versus the XRJ07ZXB. At 14-3/8 inches long it fits overhead and tight work, and Makita rates it at up to 90 cuts in 2x10 lumber or 50 cuts in 1-inch schedule 80 steel pipe on a 5.0Ah battery. It suits plumbers, electricians and remodelers who cut one-handed on ladders or in ceilings; it is a bare tool, so the battery and charger are extra, and it is not a substitute for a full-size saw in heavy demolition.

Owners of the XRJ08Z praise its low vibration, light weight and one-handed control for overhead and pipe work. Some note that the compact stroke and bare-tool packaging mean it complements rather than replaces a full-size saw.
The Makita 18V LXT Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw (XRJ08Z) is a cordless reciprocating saw built for one-handed cutting. A Makita-built brushless motor delivers 0 to 3,100 strokes per minute with a 7/8" stroke length. Constant speed control minimizes the drop in cutting speed under load.
A counterweight mechanism and a low-vibration design reduce vibration by up to 40% compared with model XRJ07ZB. The loop-shaped handle guard adds rigidity for more efficient cutting. The one-handed grip is positioned to transmit force firmly to the workpiece, and the soft grip is rubberized.
The saw is 14-3/8" long, which suits tight spaces and overhead work. Blade changes are tool-less, and spring-assisted keyless ejection lets you remove a blade with one hand without touching it while it is hot. A built-in LED light illuminates the workspace.
