The Makita XRJ06PT uses X2 LXT technology — two 18V LXT batteries in series to deliver 36V equivalent power — combined with a Makita-built 2-speed brushless motor (0-2,300 / 0-3,000 SPM) and a 1-1/4 in. stroke length. The result is corded-class cutting performance: up to 155 cuts per charge in 2x10 SPF lumber using two 5.0Ah batteries. Weighing 10.2 lbs. with batteries, it remains within the 18V LXT battery ecosystem. The PT kit includes two BL1850B 5.0Ah batteries, a dual-port Rapid Optimum Charger (DC18RD), a metal-cutting blade, and a tool bag.
What does X2 LXT mean on the XRJ06PT?
X2 LXT means the tool uses two 18V LXT batteries simultaneously, delivering 36V equivalent power to the motor while remaining fully compatible with standard Makita 18V LXT batteries. You do not need a special 36V battery — any 18V LXT battery with the Star symbol works.
How many cuts can the XRJ06PT make on a charge?
Using two BL1850B 5.0Ah batteries, the XRJ06PT delivers up to 155 cuts per charge in 2x10 SPF lumber. This is corded-class productivity and significantly more than standard 18V single-battery reciprocating saws.
What charger is included with the XRJ06PT?
The XRJ06PT includes the DC18RD Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger, which charges both 5.0Ah batteries simultaneously. Each port communicates with the battery's built-in chip to optimize charging speed and battery health.
Is the XRJ06PT compatible with my existing 18V LXT batteries?
Yes. The XRJ06Z tool body accepts any Makita 18V LXT batteries with the Star symbol. You simply slide one battery onto each port. Higher amp-hour batteries (3.0Ah, 4.0Ah, 5.0Ah) will provide more cuts per charge.
How does the XRJ06PT compare to the single-battery XRJ05T?
Both use the same 2-speed brushless motor and 1-1/4 in. stroke. The XRJ06PT runs on two 18V batteries for higher sustained power, more cuts per charge, and heavier-duty demolition capability. It weighs 10.2 lbs. vs. 8.2 lbs. for the XRJ05T. The XRJ05T is the better choice for lighter work where weight matters; the XRJ06PT excels in high-volume framing and structural demolition.
