About Makita 18V Cordless Recipro Saw – Tool Only XRJ03Z…
Makita’s 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Reciprocating Saw (model XRJ03Z, tool only) delivers faster cutting and demolition performance to the jobsite. The XRJ03Z has a high torque motor with a 1-1/8″ stroke that is engineered for a range of cutting and demolition tasks. The LXT Lithium-Ion Battery (sold separately) makes this reciprocating saw perfect for remote use, where running a cord is not an option.
It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries have the fastest charge times in their categories, so they spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger.
For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating. For increased versatility, the tool can also be powered by Makita 18V LXT and Compact Lithium-Ion batteries with the star symbol on the battery indicating Star Protection inside.
Makita-Built Motor Engineered for Versatile Power
The XRJ03Z features a Makita-built high torque motor with a 1-1/8″ stroke that cuts 0-2,900 strokes per minute (SPM) for faster cutting. The XRJ03Z has a maximum cutting depth of 5-1/8″ for pipe, and 10″ into wood (using a 12″ blade). The XRJ03Z also features an electric brake for productivity.
Ergonomic Design in a Compact Size
The XRJ03Z weighs just 7.9 lbs.(with battery, sold separately) with a more compact design at 17-3/4″ long and an ergonomic shape that fits like a glove for reduced operator fatigue.
Versatile Design for a Range of Applications
The XRJ03Z is engineered for the pro that wants more features, and is perfect for a range of applications including plumbing, flooring, electrical, demolition, and for general contractors who require a best in class engineered cordless reciprocating saw.
