Review on πŸ”§ Makita XVJ01Z 18V LXT Barrel Grip Jig Saw with Brushless Technology by Zach Peterson

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Overall great tool - power tool parts and accessories

I deducted a star for two reasons. First, the plastic scope/blade guard usually pops out of position. It's really annoying and very bad technique. It's hard to reconcile this lack of attention to detail in an expensive and otherwise high quality, advanced instrument. Secondly, the soft start function is unreliable for me. Sometimes he doesn't accelerate. I'm not sure why. In addition, the tool is powerful and cuts with precision. This design allows for easy handling and very precise cuts. For people who have bought and then complain about the design. Makita will make a normal jigsaw puzzle for you. It's unclear why anyone would buy this design if they don't like it. the same without triggers. This is part of the design. Nobody cheated. Just buy a different model. I have several jigsaws and still use them from time to time for certain jobs. When I need precise cuts or am working with heavier materials, this is the way to go. She just has more power and control. Don't buy it if you need a trigger or don't like the barrel grip. You may not be happy unless you are ready to experience the benefits of this saw. If you need power and precision, you've come to the right place. Makita, fix the plastic blade guard. Serious.

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Ugly packaging
