The Makita XRJ05Z is a full-size 18V LXT brushless reciprocating saw (tool only) powered by a Makita-built BL brushless motor with 2-speed variable control: 0-2,300 SPM (Low) and 0-3,000 SPM (High), with a 1-1/4 in. stroke for aggressive demolition cutting. At 8.2 lbs. with battery and 17-1/4 in. long, it is lighter and shorter than many brushed full-size reciprocating saws. Star Protection Computer Controls safeguard the tool and battery against overloading, over-discharging, and overheating.
Does the XRJ05Z come with a battery?
No. The XRJ05Z is a tool-only SKU. It is compatible with all Makita 18V LXT batteries bearing the Star symbol. For a kit with two 5.0Ah batteries and a charger, see the XRJ05T.
What is the SPM range on the XRJ05Z?
The XRJ05Z has two speed settings selectable via a switch on the tool body: Low (0-2,300 SPM) for controlled cuts and High (0-3,000 SPM) for maximum cutting speed. Each setting also features variable-speed trigger control.
How does the XRJ05Z compare to the XRJ04Z?
Both are full-size 18V saws with a 1-1/4 in. stroke. The XRJ05Z uses a brushless motor for longer run time (up to 50% more per charge vs. brushed), longer motor lifespan, and 2-speed selection. The XRJ04Z uses a brushed motor and is typically priced lower.
Is there a tool hook on the XRJ05Z?
Yes. The XRJ05Z includes a retractable tool hook for hanging the saw on a belt, bucket hook, or ladder rung when not actively cutting.
What blade does the XRJ05Z include?
The XRJ05Z ships with one 6 in. 6TPI wood-cutting reciprocating saw blade. It accepts all standard universal-shank reciprocating saw blades for wood, metal, demolition, and pipe cutting.
