The Makita XRJ01T is an 18V LXT compact reciprocating saw kit delivering 0-3,000 SPM through a variable-speed brushed motor with a 1/2 in. stroke length. At 3.9 lbs. with battery and 15-5/8 in. long, it is one of the most compact and lightweight 18V reciprocating saws available, ideal for overhead cuts and tight-access demolition. The kit includes two 5.0Ah BL1850B batteries and a Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC).
What batteries are included with the XRJ01T?
The XRJ01T includes two 18V LXT 5.0Ah batteries (BL1850B) and one Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RC). The BL1850B provides up to 65% more run time compared to the BL1830 and reaches a full charge in 45 minutes or less.
Is the XRJ01T brushless?
No. The XRJ01T uses a brushed motor. If you want a brushless reciprocating saw on the 18V LXT platform, consider the XRJ05Z or XRJ05T, which feature a Makita-built brushless motor for longer run time and extended motor life.
How compact is the XRJ01Z saw body included in this kit?
The XRJ01Z measures 15-5/8 in. in overall length and weighs only 3.9 lbs. with battery — making it one of the most compact 18V reciprocating saws in the Makita lineup and well-suited for overhead cuts and confined-space work.
What is the stroke length on the XRJ01T?
The stroke length is 1/2 in. This is shorter than Makita's full-size reciprocating saws (which use a 1-1/4 in. stroke), resulting in a smoother, finer cut more suited to lighter demolition and finish trimming than heavy structural cutting.
Is this compatible with other Makita 18V LXT batteries?
Yes. The XRJ01Z is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT batteries bearing the Star symbol. Star Protection Computer Controls allow the tool and battery to communicate to guard against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
