I own a lot of tools using the Makita 18 Volt LXT platform. My experience with both the chargers and batteries is good. No electrical problems of any sort.
The Jig Saw...this saw reminds me of my corded Bosch 1590 jig saw. The cuts are good, the weight is similar (enough heft to stay steady and smooth) with easy control of the tool. The Makita uses T shank blades (like the corded Bosch) and I use Bosch blades in the Makita because I find them to be excellent.
The Makita has both a dust blower and a LED lighting system to help you make accurate cuts. I especially appreciate anything that makes the work easier to see...better vision = better results. Makita makes it easy to stay on your cut lines.
The Bosch 1590 is considered the "standard" to measure jig saws. While I generally prefer corded tools, this Makita is an excellent choice for the times I want to go cordless.
If you already own some Makita LXT tools, this bare version of the jig saw is an excellent addition to your bag. The tool is well built and a pleasure to use. I have used both Dewalt and Bosch cordless jigs and I prefer my Makita to either of them.

Perfect weight, comfortable, cuts smoothly and with easy control, lights area of cut and blows chips away. Even takes the 1.5 batteries. I really like this saw and feel it is the best I have used. Comes with 3 sets (6) of popular type tang blades.
Update 7-11-10: This saw could not be better. It works with a lot of power with the 1.5 amp batteries, though mine from my drill/hammer set fit very tightly and were difficult to remove; just tight electrical clips for good contact that will likely loosen in time. Cuts plywood like it is butter and scrolls nicely without a cord. Well balanced.
UPDATE 7-29-10: UPDATE: Still excellent! A note about the 1.5 amp (smaller) battery: it fits with a little force, and takes a little force to remove if the unit is unaltered. However, if you like the tool and will be keeping it, turn the tool over and note the small plastic bump on the left side of where the battery is inserted; inside the start of the slide. It blocks/resists the use of the 1.5 battery; just cut part or all of it off with a sharp knife and the battery fits and removes with ease. If you have a drill/driver that takes the smaller battery you will notice no little bump where the battery slides in. Simple modification, just don't expect the 1.5 to last as long as the 3.0, in usage time or lifetime of the battery.

Excellent serious jigsaw.
This feels solid and well made and performs flawlessly. It is very similar to using a Bosch corded jigsaw, but for tight spaces, like cabinetry or in boat work it excels. Read more
