kornomaniac Posted October 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 You're welcome. The batteries look oversized for the tool. Which means the tool is rather compact and small i suppose? =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan Posted October 20, 2015 Report Share Posted October 20, 2015 The battery does look big but hopefully that means a longer run time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

M80 Posted November 10, 2015 Report Share Posted November 10, 2015 18V X2 LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Recipro Saw (XRJ06M/Z)What can your 18V Lithium-Ion battery do for you? How about delivering corded power and run time? Makita 18V X2 technology is powered by two 18V Lithium-Ion batteries, so users can unplug the cord with an 18V X2 rotary hammer, circular saw, chain saw, miter saw and more. The latest addition to the 18V X2 line-up is the XRJ06M/Z Recipro Saw, which has an efficient brushless motor and an industry-leading 1-1/4” stroke length for faster cutting. Users benefit with 36V power and run-time, but without leaving the 18V platform. (available Summer 2016) 18V LXT® Lithium-Ion Brushless Recipro Saw (XRJ05M/Z)Makita is a leading innovator in the brushless category, and among the latest wave of new brushless tool releases is a new 18V brushless recipro saw, model XRJ05M. Like the 18V X2 recipro saw (model XRJ06M/Z), the XRJ05M/Z has a category-leading 1-1/4” stroke length. Also available in a non-brushless model (XRJ04M/Z). (available Spring 2016) http://www.makitatools.com/en-us/Modules/Company/PressReleases.aspx?ID=312761 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
