Makita JV001GZ 40V MAX XGT Brushless Jig Saw w/Barrel Handle & XPT – Tool Only

Makita JV001GZ 40V Max XGT Brushless Cordless Jig Saw with Barrel Handle – Tool Only | Professional Cutting Performance with Precision Control

The Makita JV001GZ 40V Max XGT Cordless Jig Saw is a high-performance cutting tool designed for precision, speed, and control in demanding job site or production settings. Powered by Makita’s advanced XGT battery platform, this cordless jig saw delivers the same output you’d expect from a corded tool—without the limitations of power cords or outlets. Built around a Makita-engineered brushless motor, it delivers up to 3,500 strokes per minute with a 1″ (26 mm) stroke length, offering clean, efficient cuts through wood, metal, and aluminum.

With a low-vibration barrel handle design and soft-start function, the JV001GZ gives users the control they need for curved or detailed cuts. The tool features four cutting settings (three orbital and one straight) to match cut type with material and speed requirements, while soft no-load and constant speed control maintain cutting stability. A dimmable LED light with pre-glow and after-glow functionality improves visibility during setup and use, especially when working overhead or in low-light areas. Quick, tool-free blade changes, electric brake, and dust extraction capability make this a top-tier choice for production shops, carpenters, and finish professionals.
