About This Product

Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion is the worlds largest cordless tool line-up powered by 18-Volt lithium-ion slide-style battery. At the heart of the LXT Series are the 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion battery and the efficient Rapid Optimum Charger. The new 18-Volt lithium-ion dual port rapid optimum charger (DC18RD) charges 2 batteries simultaneously, giving tool users unparalleled charging efficiency so their batteries spend more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The 18-Volt Dual Port Rapid Optimum Charger offers key advantages for Makita 18-Volt lithium-ion cordless tool users. The exclusive built-in fan cools the battery by forcing air through the battery's air vents during the charging process for faster charging. The charger communicates with the battery's built-in chip throughout the charging process to optimize battery life by actively controlling current, voltage and temperature. The result is category-leading charge times: two 18-Volt Compact lithium-ion 2.0 Ah batteries in only 25-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 3.0 Ah batteries in only 30-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 4.0 Ah batteries in only 40-minutes; two 18-Volt LXT lithium-ion 5.0 Ah batteries in only 45-minutes.

                    I’ve been looking forward in purchasing a Makita saw It was just time to upgrade. Perfects size for door, jams, casings baseboards, smooth and precise. I would also recommend buying original Makita batteries. Do not buy off brand. I made that mistake. Batteries don’t last or keep charge.. would also recommend purchasing the Makita stand light sturdy secures the saw easy to come off and on when unlocked . Leo

                    I have at least three different generations of Makita, batteries and chargers. This one is the most informative and easy to follow as far as charging charging times and battery life. It seems like they’re phasing these out, but they’re working well for me.

                    Noisy!
                    The charger works like it should but, VERY NOISY! Vibrating rattling noises from the fans. Not for an office environment. The noisiest charger is have ever heard, from across the room.

                      Worth the money. Wish I bought this 5 years ago.
                      This is an amazing reciprocating saw. I wish I had upgraded sooner. This saw is smooth, quiet, and powerful. I was worried about the weight compared to the 18v version, but I think the only extra weigh is the additional battery. This thing is about the same size but twice as good. I didn’t realize how much I needed a rafter hook on my sawzall.

                        Less than a year old and it quit working
                        Bought the vacuum then had to buy the batteries because they were 12 V didn’t realize that. I thought they were all the same size so I bought the batteries and the charger. One battery is a lot better than the other than the charger quit working now I have to buy another charger not happy very expensive. Expect better quality for Makita.

                          This Saws a beast. As long as you're gonna use it, don't use anything less than 5 amp hour batteries. It's a great saw! Built a loafing shed with it and a cordless makita jigsaw. I couldn't be happier.

                            Bit of disappointed quality from Makita, received with damaged bent wing nut that locks slider bar. Has no damage to outer box or inner packing materials, I guess/assumed that damage were occurred at factory.

                            If you leave your batteries over-night then sure. Otherwise a total waste of money.
                            This is for the guy who charges his batteries overnight. It literally takes 8 hours to charge all four batteries. I would have never bought if I had known in only charges a pair of batteries at a time. Then once they’re charged moves onto the next pair. — I leave my tools in a storage unit so dont have power overnight. A big waste of $170

                              What a beautiful saw!
                              The build quality was amazing. Sadly, I meant to order the 12" version and accidentally ordered this instead. HD accepted the return without any drama as I had not used the saw at all. However, my experience on the 12" model has left me speechless. It was mostly perfect out of the box. I just needed to adjust a couple of things for calibration. I also did not realize how much of a positive difference the lack of a wire would mean.
