Even though the Makita DJV180Z works via an 18V battery just like the Ryobi R18JS-0, it’s equipped with a superior design that allows for a bigger stroke length. This way, you can use it with a broader range of materials, which explains the extravagant price tag.
We absolutely like its highly sensitive trigger. When you press gently, the blade will slow down, allowing you to make curved cuts with better precision.
As you might’ve expected, this jigsaw comes with neither a battery nor a charger. Although Makita supplies universal LXT batteries, it regularly updates the designs, which might leave some users confused about which battery would fit.
