I have owned a lot of Makita and DeWalt tools in my life. This is part of the newest LXT Lithium ion-powered tools. This is a great concept, but seriously, 4 of the 6 LXT tools I own have flaws/problems that greatly impact their utility.
The problem with this recip saw is that the shoe just plain does not work. It is only decorative. It will not hold. This is an important function when you are trying to use a certain part of the blade or to adjust the depth to keep the blade from, say, punching through the drywall on the other side of the wall.
Also, the blade quick release is marginal. You really have to give it a good forceful close and wiggle to make sure it is locked in there. I have not had problems with blades coming loose/out, but others have. FWIW, I use exclusively Milwaukee blades.
Sadly, if you look at the price of $75 to $100 for this or the compact version (BJR182), then think about the hassle to ship this to a service center and back and then not have them fix it (because it is a basic design flaw), then you'll understand that they truly don't make 'em like they used to.

This product has 5 stars because Makita has a good product here. Then there is me. . . picking at the details. I have owned this saw for 4 years now, it has undergone daily use for 2 full years of the 4. I have only one complaint about this saw and a few requests/questions for future models.
My only complaint, and I have not seen any one else mention this, is that the blade guard is not a solid mechanism and slips back when pressure is applied. I hope that Makita can remedy this small oversight in future models.
Another question is can this tool be made any more compact? I have also noticed that a corded model Makita recipro-saw has some kind of anti vibration technology, can this be applied in some measure to the cordless?
This saw is still going strong and dispite the improvements I would like to see it is a staple of the cordless tool kit, powerful, light, love the hook and the light. It is a 5 star out of the competition but it needs tweeked to be the absolute best that it can be.

Unless the hook is important to you [62 dollars important] the BJR182 is a better deal. In addition to not having the hook, BJR182 has a slightly different handle and does not have the LED headlights. Same motor and transmission. I got mine for eighty bucks here on Amazon: Makita BJR182Z 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Recipro Saw. I suspect these come from dealers who break down kits to get you the awesome price (I consider that excellent service) since Makita states that the BJR182 is the kits-only version of the tool. By the way the saw is very substantial and powerful because of the new cordless battery technology. I have been conditioned to expect cordless to mean wimpy but that is not the case here.
