Makita, DJV182ZJ, 18 V, Jigsaw

The Makita DJV182ZJ 18V LXT Brushless Cordless Jigsaw is a battery-powered cutting tool built for precision and general-purpose work in wood, aluminium, non-alloyed steel, plastic and rubber, depending on the blade fitted. At 90°, it achieves a 135 mm cut depth in wood, 20 mm in aluminium, and 10 mm in non-alloyed steel. A brushless motor running on the Makita 18V LXT lithium-ion platform provides consistent output without the maintenance demands of brushed motors. The 26 mm stroke length and adjustable orbital action let the operator switch between clean finishing cuts and faster material removal. This is a body-only tool, supplied without a battery or charger, and is intended for users who already own compatible Makita 18V LXT power kits.

Weighing 2.6 kg with an overall length of 266 mm, this jigsaw is manageable during extended sessions and features an ergonomic D-handle with soft-grip surfaces for comfortable control. The aluminium base plate tilts for bevel cuts ranging from –45° to 45°, adding angled-cut capability to straight cuts. An integrated LED light illuminates the cut line, while the dust blower and dust-extraction port work together to keep the workpiece and surrounding area clear. Soft start, overload protection, a quick-stop function, and a safety switch contribute to controlled and safer operation. Makita covers this tool with a 3-year warranty. Because no saw blade ships with the unit, the buyer must source jigsaw blades separately before first use.

• Variable speed: 800 to 3,500 spm across 6 settings – match stroke rate to material density and application
• SDS tool-free blade change system – swap blades without additional tools
• Sound pressure level of 77 dB – typical for cordless jigsaws in this category
• Vibration level: 7 m/s² in wood, 3.5 m/s² in steel – measured values for operator exposure reference
• Lock-on function – enables continuous cutting without holding the trigger
