The New Makita 18v Brushless Jigsaw Unboxing 2023

I Unbox the new Makita 18v brushless Jigsaw and compare it to the older model pros and cons 2023 plus review #woodworking #video #review

[Mag]

I picked up a kit over this past Black Friday (Hammer-Drill, impact, charger, 2ea 5amp batteries and a bag) This was $399 plus tax, but you also got to pick two more 18v tools at zero cost.

I picked the Jigsaw and the Oscillating tool. - All of this was about $1k worth of tools for $400, so I was totally happy.

I have already used everything, and they are great for DIY folks, but likely not spectacular for professional, all-day contractor type use. (They would work fine for the job, I am just not sure how long they would last under very heavy use)

I was surprised at how little vibration was felt in both the jigsaw and the oscillating tool - very smooth for all the action taking place.

Articulate and concise review, thanks mate. Picked one of these up this evening, $300 AUD.

Tried this unit out. Base is not Metal to Metal. There is angular wobble and play in the base. Shaft of blade holder is half the size of the older unit (Older unit has the same drive shaft as the premium BL Models) Older model now has variable speed and is metal to metal, though not brushless. New one can deactivate the soft start, if you prefer. Locking full speed trigger on the new one is a nice feature. You can use it kind of like a barrel model as the locked trigger keeps it on. Very smooth and low vibration.

If you lightly pull the trigger, can you start the cut off slower (like with the 180) or does it solely rely on the manual speed dial?

Nice got the barrel grip version, DJV185Z body only, it came

with the dust extraction nozzel. Not sure why the d handle doesn't.

Hey Tom. thanks for the video. Quick question. what about 90 degree cut accuracy? Is it accurate or angle is not really 90 degree? Thanks

Hello, im looking to buy a new Makita jigsaw, what would you recommend djv181z or djv184z?

[akosijes]

Very nice video for me. But the audio is not so much. Thanks
