Our take on the Makita XRJ08Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw

The Makita XRJ08Z is a compact 18V LXT brushless one-handed recipro saw built for cutting in tight spots and overhead. It runs 0–3,100 strokes per minute with a 7/8-inch stroke and a counterweight design Makita says cuts vibration by up to 40% versus the XRJ07ZXB. It is 14-3/8 inches long and weighs 5.5 lbs with a battery. Makita rates it at up to 90 cuts in 2x10 lumber and 50 cuts in 1-inch schedule 80 steel pipe on a 5.0Ah pack. It is a bare tool, so batteries and charger are extra. Against one-handed rivals like Milwaukee's Hackzall and DeWalt's Atomic, it leans on low vibration and a rigid loop handle rather than the smallest body.

About the Makita XRJ08Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Brushless Cordless Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw

The Makita XRJ08Z is an 18V LXT cordless one-handed reciprocating saw with a Makita-built brushless motor. It cuts at 0 - 3,100 strokes per minute with a 7/8" stroke length. A variable speed trigger covers a range of cutting jobs, and constant speed control limits the loss of cutting speed under load.

The saw is 14-3/8" long and weighs 5.5 lbs. Its compact shape suits tight spaces and overhead work. A counterweight mechanism reduces vibration, and the loop-shaped handle guard adds rigidity. The one-handed grip is positioned to transmit force to the workpiece, and it has a rubberized soft grip.

Blades change without tools, and a spring-assisted keyless ejection lets you remove a blade with one hand without touching it while hot. A pivoting shoe plate keeps steady contact with the material. A lock-off switch helps prevent accidental starts, and a built-in LED light illuminates the work area. Star Protection Computer Controls let the tool and battery exchange data to guard against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. XPT technology improves dust and water resistance for harsh conditions.

Questions and answers

Does the XRJ08Z come with a battery and charger?
No. It is a bare tool; the 18V LXT battery and charger are sold separately. Makita's cut counts assume a 5.0Ah pack.
How does it compare with the XRJ07ZXB?
Makita says the XRJ08 cuts up to 55% faster and has up to 40% less vibration than the XRJ07ZXB. Both are one-handed 18V LXT saws.
How many cuts can it make on one battery?
Makita rates up to 90 cuts in 2x10 lumber and up to 50 cuts in 1-inch schedule 80 steel pipe with a 5.0Ah battery. Real counts vary with material and blade.
Is it good for overhead and tight-space work?
Yes. At 14-3/8 inches long and 5.5 lbs with a battery, it is sized for overhead cuts and tight stud bays, and the low-vibration design is meant to reduce fatigue.
What blades does it take?
It uses standard reciprocating saw blades with a tool-less blade change. Pick wood blades for lumber and bi-metal or carbide blades for pipe.
