About This Product

Makita, a pioneer in brushless motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Reciprocating Saw Kit. It's powered by two 18-Volt Lithium-Ion batteries (sold separately) for 36-Volt power and performance and has an electronically-controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting and demolition that traditionally called for a corded reciprocating saw. Best of all, users can remain in one battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries on the XRJ06Z as they use across the Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool line-up. The XRJ06Z is equipped with efficiency features for faster cutting. The long 1-1/4 in. stroke length increases cutting efficiency and the refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and reduces vibration. Convenience features include an LED light to illuminate the line of cut, retractable tool hook and "tool-less" blade change for faster blade installation and removal. For improved tool performance and extended battery life, Makita created Star Protection Computer Controls. Star Protection is communication technology that allows the Star Protection-equipped tool and battery to exchange data in real time and monitor conditions during use to protect against overloading, over-discharging and overheating.

Highlights

  • Powerful BL brushless motor delivers 0-3,000 (metal cutting) and 0-2,300 (wood cutting) strokes per minute for faster cutting
  • Long 1-1/4 stroke length provides increased cutting efficiency
  • 2-18V LXT lithium-ion batteries deliver the power and performance of a corded reciprocating saw without leaving the 18-Volt LXT platform (batteries not included)
  • Refined crank mechanism design minimizes blade deflection and reduces vibration
  • BL brushless motor eliminates carbon brushes, enabling the BL motor to run cooler and more efficiently for longer life
  • Efficient BL brushless motor is electronically controlled to optimize battery energy use for up to 50% longer run time per charge
  • Electronically controlled BL brushless motor efficiently uses energy to match torque and RPM to the changing demands of the application
  • Large 2-finger variable speed trigger for operator convenience
  • "Tool-less" blade change system allows for faster blade installation and removal for increased productivity
  • Electric brake for maximum productivity
  • Extreme Protection Technology (XPT) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance for operation in harsh conditions
  • Rubberized soft grip handle provides increased comfort on the job
  • Built-in LED light with preglow and afterglow illuminate the work area

                  Can the blade be inserted in different directions?

                  Answer This Question

                  Thank you for your question on the XRJ06PT reciprocating saw. The blade is inserted one way only. Please be sure to read the instruction manual before using.

                  By|Oct 21, 2022

                    yes it can be inserted upside down

                    By|Feb 25, 2023

                      Hmmmm, those are opposing answers, framers like to flip the blade so teeth are facing upward to flip tool and cut bottom plates flush. Makita team says you can’t on this, is that true?

                        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.

                          I simply can't find anything wrong with this saw.........except maybe the price................................................... This is an unbiased review that is unaffected by the fact that I received this product for free. As proof of impartiality, just click on my nickname and see the average of the ratings I have given for over 200 reviews to date. ==== First impressions ==== Heavy, heavy, heavy box. I am guessing the saw is heavy. There was a set of blades included along with a single sample blade packed separately. $$$$$ alert! I think I see this same saw available online with two extra batteries for the SAME price so make sure to check on that before you purchase it. ==== Operation ==== My saw came with the batteries already attached and charged to 40% for safe storage. I inserted the single sample blade with just a push and a click and was ready to go. There is a multifunction switch on the unit that locks the trigger off and also selects the speed (hi or low). Slide the actuator left or right or leave it in the middle. The tool uses two 18 volt batteries. The charger is simple to use. Just slide in the battery(s) and leave it. The lights will indicate a variety of symptoms. There are no provisions for hanging the charger on a wall. There is really nothing different about this reciprocating saw. It operates just as any other. I found it to have a lot of power for a battery operated tool. It has a small hi-power LED light to illuminate the work but is barely visible in daylight. I suppose it would help a lot in the dark but...... I easily cut a 2x6 piece of pine lumber and a 1/2' iron pipe. Neither revealed any issues. Did I mention that the tool is heavy? A large carrying bag is included. It is large enough to hold the saw and charger. It has 4 inside pockets and 6 outside pockets. It has a cloth handle but no shoulder strap, even though there are loops for one. ==== Summary ==== Heavy tool. Powerful as a corded tool. Two speeds. Large carrying bag. Dual batteries. Expensive.

                          This is a heavy duty reciprocating saw that uses two 18 volt batteries. It comes with a dual battery charger and a spacious heavy-duty carrying bag. I have a Makita corded reciprocating saw using 120V AC. The battery powered saw is similar in construction though the batteries make it heavier than the 120V saw. I cannot distinguish between the two saws in operation. The charger is novel in that it has a built in fan that turns on during battery charging.

                          Fantastic reciprocal saw kit. The most versatile tool in my pole barn! Love the freedom of being unplugged, with the most powerful 36 volt (2, 18 volt batteries, which makes the tool a little hefty but is well balanced) reciprocating saw I have ever used. It comes with seven Makita blades of different TPI. Cut through black pipe like hot butter! This saw has quick connect blade lock that is fantastic, makes it really quick to change blades. The motor is two speeds. Comes with a nice carrying bag with deep pockets on the inside for holding accessories and charger. It is now my favorite tool.

                          With this extra charging port we can quickly charge all 4 batteries faster. Then when two batteries die, we can charge them again while using the other two batteries simultaneously! Non stop battery use!
