Overview
Not a complete kit, this Makita is a cordless jig saw with a thermoplastic elastomer handle and a tool-less lever for blade changes. The listing points it at wood.
A lever blade change cuts the time spent swapping blades, and the listed cutting angle widens the cuts it can make. The limitation is that nothing needed for power ships with it, and no stroke speed is given.
Who it's for
A cordless setup that already holds a spare pack is the situation a tool only body suits. First-time cordless users need to source a battery and charger before the saw can run.
Pros and cons
- Tool-less blade change lever
- Blade and cover plate supplied
- Battery and charger not included
- Stroke speed not listed
- Listing recommends wood only
Performance notes
Cut quality depends on the blade fitted and on how fast the saw is run, and the listing does not give stroke speed. A lever change makes it quicker to match the blade to the material. Angled cutting adds versatility for mitered pieces, though the listing recommends wood.
