The Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Reciprocating Saw (tool only) combines cutting speed with convenience features for faster, more efficient cutting. It's powered by the industry's fastest charging 18V lithium-ion batteries (sold separately), allowing users to remain in one battery platform and use the same fast-charging 18V batteries on the cordless reciprocating saw as they use across the Makita 18V LXT® cordless tool line-up. The cordless reciprocating saw 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 a large two-finger variable speed trigger, electric brake, and "tool-less" blade change for faster blade installation and removal.

For additional information on this product, please see the Product Documents section for all downloadable user manuals, installation guides, brochures and warranty statements.

Q&As

Q: Will this work with Makita 18 v ML: BL1815 battery

a year ago

1 Answer

A: Hello, Thank you for your question. Per the vendor, "I’m not clearly certain the differences in BL1815N Vs BL1815 1.5 AH battery but you may run into a compatibility issue due to new technology tool and old technology battery. This tool and the BL1815 may not communicate with each other, or battery will not fit the terminal on tool. BL1815 is a very old battery and would suggest customer go with a newer battery that offers more run time like the BL1830B 3.0AH, BL1840B 4.0AH, BL1850B 5.0AH, BL1860B 6.0AH, nothing less than a BL1820B.
