Makita DJV182Z 18V LXT Brushless D-Handle Variable Speed, Soft Start Jig Saw – Tool Only

The Makita DJV182Z 18V LXT Brushless Jig Saw with D-Handle delivers the cutting performance of a corded saw in a compact, cordless platform. Powered by Makita’s reliable 18V LXT Lithium-Ion battery system (sold separately), this professional-grade jig saw features a high-efficiency brushless motor that reduces heat, extends runtime, and improves tool life – ideal for demanding applications on site or in the shop.

The D-handle grip offers improved control and comfort for extended use, while the large variable speed trigger, paired with a variable speed dial (800–3,500 SPM), gives the operator precise control over cutting speeds for various materials. With 3 orbital settings plus straight cutting, the tool adapts to a range of cutting tasks — from fine detail work to aggressive cuts in hardwood or composite. Built-in features like dual LED lights, a blower function, electric brake, and tool-less blade changes ensure fast, accurate, and safe operation in all working conditions.
