Makita lxt jigsaw

[ash91]

Anybody got one of these? Thinking about getting one of these to go with my battery kit but just wondering if anyone has one/ used one and what their opinions are?

I have the 18 volt jobbie (BJV180). The feel is very much like the corded model (4350?) and it's almost identical except for the lack of a speed control dial. Solid little machine. I use mine mainly on jobs like boxing-in, etc where I don't want to carry a transformer round with me for which it's very good. Yes, it's OK, and like all cordless jiggers it can be a bit heavy on the batteries. Certainly been a useful piece of kit

Worth saying that I was able to make a back to back comparison with a colleagues Panasonic 14.4 jigsaw on one job - the Mak was faster and the batteries lasted longer
