  • Our take on the Makita XRJ01Z

    The Makita XRJ01Z is a bare-tool 18V LXT reciprocating saw built for light cutting in tight spots. Its 1/2-inch stroke and 3.9 lb body make it compact and easy to control overhead or one-handed, but it cuts slower than full-size corded saws and larger 18V models. It suits homeowners, remodelers and tradespeople already on Makita's 18V battery platform who need a grab-and-go saw for PVC, drywall, pruning and light wood. Reviewers like the size and balance; the main complaints are the short stroke, the lack of a battery in the box and vibration under load.

    Pros
    • Compact 15.6-inch body fits between studs and under sinks
    • Light at 3.9 lb without a battery
    • Tool-free blade change speeds swaps
    • Runs on the widely available Makita 18V LXT battery line
    • Variable-speed trigger with a lock-on button for long cuts
    Cons
    • Sold as a bare tool, so batteries and charger cost extra
    • 1/2-inch stroke is short, so cuts are slower than full-size saws
    • 2-inch capacity limits it to light-duty work
    • Noticeable vibration and flex when pushed hard

    What reviewers say

    Owners describe it as a handy compact saw for quick cuts in awkward places and praise the balance and blade changes. Many note it is slower than a corded saw and best kept for light jobs.

    What people mention
    • SizePraisedOwners like how the compact body fits into tight spaces and can be used one-handed.
    • Cutting speedCriticisedThe short 1/2-inch stroke makes it slower than corded and full-size saws.
    • VibrationCriticisedUsers report vibration and blade wander when pushing hard through thicker material.
    • Blade changesPraisedTool-free blade changes are quick and well liked.
    • Bare toolMixedBuyers on the Makita 18V platform value the bare-tool format, but newcomers must add batteries and a charger.

    Questions and answers

    Does the Makita XRJ01Z come with a battery?
    No. It is a bare tool, so batteries and a charger are sold separately. It runs on Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion packs.
    What can it cut?
    It handles up to about 2 inches in wood and 2 inches in metal pipe, plus PVC, drywall and pruning. It is a light-duty saw, not a replacement for a corded reciprocating saw.
    Is it good for one-handed use?
    Yes. At 3.9 lb without a battery and 15.6 inches long, it is balanced enough for one-handed and overhead cuts, though two hands are safer on tough material.
    How does it compare with Makita's larger 18V saws?
    It is shorter and lighter but has a 1/2-inch stroke and lower capacity. Larger Makita 18V saws cut faster and handle bigger material but weigh more.
    Does it use standard reciprocating saw blades?
    Yes. It takes standard reciprocating saw blades with a tool-free change, and one blade is included.
    Is it worth it over a corded saw?
    For quick cuts away from an outlet and for Makita 18V owners, yes. For heavy demolition or all-day cutting, a corded saw gives more power and a longer stroke.
    Where is the Makita XRJ01Z cheapest?
    At Ace Hardware, for $149.00, as of our latest check.
    Where can I buy the Makita XRJ01Z?
    3 stores we checked sell it, including The Home Depot, Ace Hardware, Msc Industrial Supply.
