    To be clear I give the win to Makita's 18 volt. Its light weight, rafter hook, adjustable shoe, and one handed blade change make it the best reciprocating saw on the market right now in my opinion.

      That's the one I had bought because of the adjustable shoe. Unfortunately, I didn't see the *Max* line on the shoe and tightened the lever in the wrong spot- the lever doesn't stay down so well anymore, but at least the shoe is locked. Maybe I'll get it one of those tacky bandages or a bandana.

    I own the Makita 18v. And I love it. I love how it has a 1 1/4 inch stroke vs almost every other sawzall's 1 1/8 inch stroke, yet can go the same speed. I also love the adjustable pivoting shoe. I use that alot when cutting up furnaces and A/C units.
    As for the vibration? Well, I have a Makita 18v grinder to counter that. :D

    @SAWZA0328 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like your video. But if it's one thing that I haven't seen anybody do maybe you can do this is if you can take two adapters for a Makita and put two of the biggest batteries for DeWalt on a Makita 36 volt saw. Meaning in theory ....that Sawzall would have anywhere between 40 volts to 120 volts

    Thinking about upgrading from Makita (1x18v) to the (2x18v), doesn't look more powerfu, wonder if its just a longer run time or less stress on the batterys, Most helpful, Thanks

    • @toolrev
      @toolrev  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      If you have the XRJ05 the only big upgrade you're getting with the XRJ056 is much less vibration, which is not worth the extra weight in my opinion. I think the XRJ05 is the best saw on the market right now. Not crazy about the XRJ04.

    Hey I just got a xrjo5 brushless makita and haven’t tried it out yet but noticed #1 and 2 speed seem the same?? What’s up with that. Usually one will be geared much slower?

    • @toolrev
      @toolrev  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I don't remember if I could hear or feel the difference but I would think you should be able to. Low is 0-2,300 strokes/min & high is 0-3,000. Maybe someone can test theirs and let us all know. If you get another one to compare let us know what happens.

  • @rpaull3
    @rpaull3 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Amp hour has no effect on run speed or power, that is only the capacity of the power in the battery. Sometimes a lower ah like a 3.0ah has a higher discharge rating and that can effect power by a bit.

    • @toolrev
      @toolrev  4 ปีที่แล้ว

      A lot of tools produce more torque and speed on larger packs. You can hear it, feel it, love it.

    • @jacobhendrickson8935
      @jacobhendrickson8935 4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Sure it can, your not gonna tell me a 1500mah 4 cell pack will run with a 3000mah 8 cell pack same cells in both packs only the 3000 mah has 8 cells total by running 4 extra cells in parallel you get twice the runtime yes but under a heavy load the 8cells are going to have a performance advantage.

      You are so freaking right! I hear so much people make that mistake.

    • @jacobecorder
      @jacobecorder 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Ah affects the amount of power delivered. For instance, imagine a single cell can output 20 amps. A 1p battery will output 20amps, a 2p can likely output double amps. A 3p battery can do 3x amps so 60 on this case. Sure it affects runtime, but also available power.
      This also assumes that the tool can extract that much power.
      Also voltage drop in the cells is less based on the more parallel circuits. This is what effectively affects the power available to the tool. A 1 p will have a huge drop at high loads compared to a 2 or 3 p battery
      (p stands for parallel circuit)

    • @jonRboy
      @jonRboy ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@jacobecorder Right, if what you are saying is true doesn't the *tool itself* have to be designed to realize that power? Consider these two Makita recipro saws, one with a single battery , the other with dual batteries. I remain convinced that the only thing more Ah gives you is increased run time, at least with these two saws. If you look at the Makita website and compare the single battery 05Z with the double battery 06Z, there's no talk or specs listed about any extra torque with the dual battery model. The stroke length is the same, the strokes per minute are the same, the cutting capacity is listed to be the same. That leaves me to believe that the dual model merely gives you more run time....and that's it.

    How do we know you’re not pushing down harder on the dewalt.. not saying you did but for a true test you need to hang a weight to the saws and let that pull them down, not the force of your hand..

    • @toolrev
      @toolrev  4 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've seen other channels, and even Manufacturers, using weights. But weights aren't a true test because not all saws handle pressure the same way. You have to feel the saw cut to find it's sweet spot. Some saws cut faster with less pressure. It's a good question, thanks for asking.

    Is the height of these in rear with the batteries a problem? They look really tall compared to corded versions.

    • @toolrev
      @toolrev  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      It’s not a problem. You can flip the blade and saw upside down if you’re cutting close to the ground, or whatever, same way you would with a corded recip.

  • @jamesadams7131

    I've got the Makita 36V and it has great balance so the 10.2 lbs doesn't seem to wear me out like you would think by looking at it. It has anti-vibration technology which helps with fatigue as well. Love the rafter hook on it , but I wish the shoe was adjustable like the 18V version has. I bought it to replace my Porter cable Tiger saw which is a beast of a saw! The 36V Makita keeps up with it no problem. I was just chewing up 6x6's for about 3 hours the other day... riping right through them like my corded tiger saw would have.

    • @toolrev
      @toolrev  5 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Ya know I never really used the adjustable shoe much on my corded Makita during the years I used it before my cordless DeWalt. I just use short and long blades. The 10.2 lbs on the DeWalt is only an issue when I do a lot of overhead reframing. Plus no rafter hook sucks. I'll say it again, I think Makita's 18 volt is the best all around cordless saw on the market.

      Not enough to worry about with any of these. All recips have vibration right so it's relative one to another. if you're asking about the single battery Makita, it has the worst of the three and I would still carry it over the other two.

      You're missing the point. No one is talking about the meaning of amp hours. The REALITY is that many saws and drills run FASTER on larger batteries. END OF STORY! The guy you're telling is wrong is talking about how this has been tested by people on TH-cam like REAL TOOL REVIEWS. The rest of us know this because we USE CORDLESS TOOLS EVERYDAY FOR WORK!
