This jigsaw from Makita comes with a brushless cordless motor. This helps reduce the heat generated as well as the noise produced by the running motor. The DJV182Z weighs just 5.8 lbs including the battery. As a result, handling this product is quite easy, requiring minimal user effort to maneuver it while cutting. Their high output and brushless motor technology increase efficiency and improve productivity. However, the cost of these products may be a bit too high for amateurs or those looking for simple applications like DIY projects and household requirements. It is important to have the shoe made of heavy and high-quality materials like die-cast aluminum, magnesium, and steel to ensure a comfortable user experience and improved cutting quality.

Like a handyman with numerous professional requirements, I can guarantee you that the Makita DJV182Z meets each and every one of them. I was very happy with the features that came with this product, which was also a cordless model.

The power is shown in volts on a cordless jigsaw, and the capacity of the battery is measured in Ampere Hours (Ah) As a general rule the higher the Ah rating the better. Ah is a measure of capacity and the minimum for a jigsaw is 3.0Ah. You can also get 4.0 Ah and 5.0 Ah which will last longer If the tool is faulty within 30 days of buying it, we will arrange for its collection at no cost to you and supply a replacement. When it comes to the type of blade, users can choose between T-shank and U-shank models. U-shank options were available in the past, but have been replaced nowadays by the T-shank blades which allow for tool-less blade changes.

It also has a variable 6 – speed control dial that allows users to set the speed between 800 – 3,500 SPM as well as 3 different orbital settings.

This product is powered by 18V LXT batteries from the Makita lineup. These batteries come with a capacity between 1.5 Ah and 5.0 Ah, allowing for longer run times depending on your requirement. Size is kept compact thanks to the brushless motor. Even though it’s running on lower powered batteries, you’ll get great runtime as a result. Soft-start is also present which helps with control when you start a cut. The motor will give you up to 3000spm via the variable speed trigger. Stroke length is a respectable 23mm which translates into cuts up to 90mm in wood and 10mm in mild steel. Tool-free blade change, LED light, constant speed control and the ability to bevel left and right to 45º are also present.After doing some careful research and speaking with fellow contractors, I ended up purchasing the Makita DJV182Z Jigsaw. This cordless model from a great brand caught my attention thanks to the initial specifications, which I found impressive at first sight. I have listed them below in this table for your information as well. We recommend it highly and I expect it should last a lifetime and be something you will love to use time after time. the tool is not an Air Compressor/ Air Tool, a Battery/ Charger, an Accessory, or a Petrol or Production Tool Superbly made and effortless to use. Work light and blower to remove dust from pencil line a bonus.”

Another great tool in the new CXT range works as described and has plenty of power. The charge indicators on the batteries are a welcome addition.“Not cheap, but do you really want a cheap jigsaw? This is a tool that I don't need to use everyday but is very useful for many tasks. Soft no load function automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body This prevents the machine from slipping while absorbing vibrations caused by the machine as well. The machine also weighs around 5.8 lbs, making it light and easy to operate for most users. Around a couple of years ago, my professional requirements demanded that I own a jigsaw of my own to improve my efficiency. I was looking for a product from a reputable brand, with powerful performance specifications and great value for money. The Makita DJV182 is a bow, top handle cordless jigsaw with brushless motor that produces a high level of torque per weight. More torque means less power required so longer battery life less motor friction. With twin LED Joblights and a Blower function at the front end, your cutting line will remain illuminated and free of sawdust at all times.

The Jigsaw has a variable speed control dial to enable the user to match the speed to the application for optimal cutting performance in a variety of materials. Both the Makita DJV182Z and XVJ02Z are quite similar, in terms of motor, speed, bevel angle, and warranty, but the DJV182Z has a dust blower and extraction whereas XVJ02Z has a dust blower only, it is also more affordable than the XVJ02Z. Soft no load" function automatically reduces the motor speed during idling to suppress the vibration of the machine body. After putting both these models to the task, I was finally able to settle my doubts about which model is the better of these two i.e. Makita DJV182Z vs XVJ02Z? The base also allows the blade to bevel 45° to the left or right, allowing users to make angled cuts when required. Weighing 5.8 lbs including the battery, the machine does not require too much to be operated properly.Makita believe that for a good tool you need a good motor, and Makita makes every effort to make sure their motors are of the best quality.
