Makita XRJ08Z 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Compact One Handed Recipro Saw Bare Tool High Speed Low Vibration Demolition Tool

Dominate Tight Spaces with One-Handed Demolition Power

Experience the ultimate in versatility and maneuverability with the Makita 18V LXT® Compact One-Handed Recipro Saw (XRJ08Z). Engineered for electricians, plumbers, and general contractors who frequently work in confined spaces or overhead, this tool redefines cutting efficiency. Powered by a Makita-built brushless motor, it delivers a rapid 0-3,100 strokes per minute with a 7/8” stroke length, providing up to 55% faster cutting than previous models. Whether you are slicing through 2x10 lumber or cutting schedule 80 steel pipe, this saw offers the power of a full-size tool in a compact, ergonomic package that weighs only 5.5 lbs (with battery).

Comfort and durability are at the forefront of the XRJ08Z design. It features an advanced counterweight mechanism that significantly reduces vibration—up to 40% less than competitors—allowing for longer use with less operator fatigue. The unique loop-shaped handle provides superior rigidity and control, ensuring efficient force transmission even when operating with a single hand. Built to withstand harsh job site environments, the tool includes Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) for enhanced dust and water resistance. Additionally, Star Protection Computer Controls™ actively monitor the tool and battery to prevent overloading and overheating, ensuring your investment lasts.

**Battery and charger sold separately.
