A tool-only brushless cordless reciprocating saw with a blade in the box. A battery is required and not included, and the listed size figures look unreliable.

Overview
Not a kit, the Makita XRJ05Z is a bare brushless reciprocating saw that ships with one recipro blade. The handle is plastic and the listing recommends the saw for wood.
A brushless motor gives efficient power from the pack, and the included blade means it can start cutting once a battery is fitted. The limitation is the missing battery and charger and a speed figure with no unit.
Who it's for
Demolition, pruning and rough framing cuts are the typical jobs for a saw like this. Buyers without LXT batteries should look at a kit.
Pros and cons
- Recipro blade included
- Wood surface listed
- Three year warranty
- Battery and charger not included
- Speed has no unit
- Size figures look unreliable
Performance notes
A brushless motor draws power efficiently from the pack, which helps run time, while blade teeth per inch decide how aggressively it cuts. Tool-only means the battery decides how many cuts a charge delivers.
