Does it come with a battery and charger?

No. It is sold as a tool only, so you need a Makita 40V XGT battery and charger, which are sold separately.

Will my 18V LXT batteries work in it?

No. It runs only on 40V max XGT batteries. LXT 18V packs do not fit this tool.

As a reciprocating saw it handles lumber, pipe, plastic, metal with the right blade, branches and demolition material. Blade choice matters more than the tool for clean cuts.

Does it include blades?

No blades are included. You supply reciprocating saw blades for the material you are cutting.

Who should buy it over an 18V recip saw?

Buy it if you are already invested in XGT and want more power and runtime for heavy cutting. If you own only 18V LXT batteries, an LXT saw keeps you on one system.

Our take on the Makita 40V max XGT Brushless Cordless Recipro Saw (Tool Only)

The Makita 40V max XGT Recipro Saw is a brushless cordless reciprocating saw sold as a bare tool, so it runs on Makita's 40V XGT batteries rather than the smaller 18V LXT line. The brushless motor is built for cutting pipe, lumber, branches and demolition material without a cord, and the XGT platform targets heavy-duty trade use. It suits contractors and serious DIYers already on XGT who want one battery system across big tools. Against 18V recip saws it trades lighter weight and cheaper batteries for more power and longer runtime per charge.
