Makita LXT DJV181Z 18V Barrel Handle Cordless Jigsaw (Bare Unit)

The DJV181Z LXT barrel-handled jigsaw from Makita is designed to be more ergonomic and to give you greater control over longe... morer periods of use. It also includes a brushless motor, which reduces friction and increases the efficiency of energy transfer, meaning that your tool will be able to do more on a single charge so that you can use it for longer, too. Alongside these features, this jigsaw also includes: an improved dust extraction joint; aluminium base that bevels 45° Left/Right; 3 orbital and a straight cutting setting; tool-less blade changing and a variable speed control dial. Plus there is a soft-start and soft no load feature that reduces initial vibration to enhance your control and also to reduce vibration when the unit is 'idling'. Add to this a twin-LED joblight and a debris-clearing blower function and you've got a complete machine that will work longer and keep you safer and more comfortable too. Supplied with MAKPAC Case

"Top" tool with the "coolest" characteristics

Brushless motors, which have a lot of advantages (reduced weight and size, increased power, improved energy efficiency, etc.), are not yet equipped with all jigsaws. But Makita DJV181Z is just one of those, because this tool is one of the “flagships” in the Makita jigsaw model line. Thanks to a powerful and high-speed motor, the jigsaw has a very large sawing depth (up to 135 mm in wood) and decent speed, and the cut quality (when using good saw blades) is almost perfect. Therefore, this model is considered a professional instrument (with a corresponding price tag).

Everything is customizable and adjustable

The design and equipment of the jigsaw allow you to flexibly adjust the tool for certain types of work. You can adjust the frequency of reciprocating movements of the file, the intensity of the pendulum stroke and the angle of inclination of the cast sole. For maximum user comfort, the device has a bright backlight, useful when working in low light conditions, and an inrush current limiter, thanks to which the tool turns on smoothly, without jerking. To work clean, you can connect the vacuum cleaner through the nozzle that is included in the kit.

The choice is up to you

This jigsaw has a mushroom handle. It is believed that this form is better suited for complex and curly cuts that require "manoeuvring" along the surface of the material being cut. But if you're doing mostly straight cuts, then the Makita DJV182Z with a more traditional D-handle might be more suitable for you. These two models are completely identical in technical characteristics and design, with the exception of the shape of the body, which affects the grip method.
