So, if you’ve got a spare Makita 3Ah or 4Ah battery just sitting on the charger all day, you can take the most cost-efficient upgrade route and buy the naked version. Or you can spring for the 4Ah option and get 2 batteries and charger. And if you have other LXT Makita cordless tools that are compatible with 4Ah batteries, you’ll be able to use one of your 4Ah batteries on it! The options are mouthwatering… Dust nozzle, (458191-5) Dust cover, Cover plate, (783201-2) Hex wrench and (B-06460) Jig saw blade B-50

Makita DJV181Z 18v LXT Cordless Barrel Grip Brushless Jigsaw

Smaller size. Brushless motors are smaller, therefore they allow the body of the tool to be reduced in size. Which leads to… Tool-less blade change is virtually a requirement on modern jigsaws, and it’s present on the DJV181, more on that later, along with the new dust extraction pipe. Lighter weight. And this means you’ll be able to handle and use the jigsaws for longer without fatigue The ToolShed is an authorised dealer of Makita tools. All products come with a full New Zealand manufacturers warranty.

Longer runtime. A huge benefit of these jigsaws is that even though they’re cordless, they’ll run for ages. That’s because the motor requires less current from the battery to do the job

Makitan akkukäyttöinen pistosaha DJV181 on tehokas ja helposti hallittava hiiliharjaton kuviosaha ammattikäyttöön. Sahassa on kolmiasentoinen heiluritoiminto, terän pikakiinnitys ja vakioelektroniikka. Now, the obvious benefits of the DJV181and DJV182 running off brushless motors are simple but compelling; As with the DJV181, the motor’s speed is controlled via the variable speed dial, and benefits – as always – from Makita’s well-known comfortable ergonomics. DJV181-akkupistosaha vastaa teholtaan verkkovirtakäyttöisiä pistosahoja. Saha on erittäin hyvin tärinävaimennettu, minkä ansiosta pitkäkestoinenkin työskentely on miellyttävää ja sahausjälki tarkka. Tukeva alumiininen sahapöytä on kallistettavissa 45 astetta vasemmalle ja oikealle puolelle. Sahapöydän alapinta on terästä ja mukana tulee muovinen pohjalevyn päällinen, joka suojaa herkkiä pintoja naarmuuntumiselta. Sahan kädensijassa on liukumaton kumipinnoite, josta saa hyvän ja tukevan otteen.

The motor outputs 390W of power, variable via the control dial, which gives you the ability to move from between 800 and 3,500 strokes per minute. The dust extractor has been improved. No longer does it clip on, but sits more robustly in place at either side of the jigsaw via the screw attachment. The LED job light and dust blower are situated near the blade holder, again allowing for clear cutting lines. There’s one other key thing that you need to know. While both jigsaws are available naked (body-only, ie. no batteries or charger come with them), they are available with 4Ah batteries and are compatible with the brand new 18V 5Ah Makita batteries, which you can read about here. All the same features found on the DJV181 are in place, including the 3 stage orbital action and the adjustable aluminium base plate with protective cover (use the supplied allen key to loosen the plate to then select the angle of bevel).
