  • Our take on the Makita XVJ03Z

    The Makita XVJ03Z is a bare-tool 18V LXT barrel-grip jigsaw with no battery or charger in the box. It uses a brushless motor, a variable-speed trigger with a speed dial, and tool-less blade changes, so it slots into a kit you already own. Its barrel grip sits close to the work for control on curves, which suits trim carpenters and installers more than casual DIYers. Against corded jigsaws it trades unlimited runtime for freedom from a cord; against cheaper barrel-grip models it stands out for build quality and the shared 18V LXT battery platform.

    Questions and answers

    Does the XVJ03Z come with a battery?
    No. It is a bare tool, so no battery or charger is included. You need a Makita 18V LXT battery and charger you already own or buy separately.
    Is it worth it over a corded jigsaw?
    If you already own Makita 18V LXT batteries, it gives you cordless freedom with no runtime limit from a cord. A corded jigsaw still makes sense for heavy, continuous cutting and for shoppers with no battery platform.
    What is a barrel-grip jigsaw good for?
    The barrel grip puts your hand low and close to the work, which helps with control on curves, scribes and finish cuts. It is a common choice for trim and install work.
    Does it take standard jigsaw blades?
    Yes. It uses standard T-shank jigsaw blades, and the blade change is tool-less.
    Can I adjust the cutting speed?
    Yes. There is a variable-speed trigger plus a speed dial, so you can match speed to the material and the cut.
    Does it have a work light?
    No. There is no built-in work light, so plan on separate lighting for dim spaces.
    Where is the Makita XVJ03Z cheapest?
    At JB Tools, for $94.99, as of our latest check.
