 "Irreplaceable for tight spots and finish work" 2009-12-03
By D. Sargent (New England)
I am a renovation contractor and have had this saw in my arsenal since it was first introduced. To this day, I can not find a tool that will do what this saw does! I use it to cut square holes ( that is to say, not round)in floor and wall tile, Plaster (even w/metal lath), drywall, paneling, wood flooring and trim, etc.



It's low rpm's make it wonderful to go into a customers house and retrofit something knowing that there will not be a plume of dust. Blades I use most often are the carbide tipped wood blade and the diamond tipped anything else blade.



It's quiet, easy to control, no cords and usually no need for a vaccuum.

This is a very useful saw. Battery life is good, blade life is good, it gets into places our other saws can't. Light in weight so it is easy to use over shoulder height, as we are cutting soffit boards. Highly recommended for those tight spots where a hand saw just isn't enough

 "a lot more power than one would think possible" 2009-07-23
By Michael Winters
I was very pleasantly surprised by the power and battery life of this trim saw. I have used it on soft woods as a trim saw but also to make openings in 3/8" plywood where I did not feel safe using a full sized circular saw (in case of kickback I did not want to get thrown off the ladder). This saw just keeps going and going. It does take quite a while to recharge the battery when it is drained so a second battery is an important consideration.



I have not found any blades designed for plastic sheet for this size saw but if the blade is put on backwards so the back of the teeth hit the sheet it can work well even with brittle acrylic sheet materials.



I would caution against loaning it out as you will have a hard time getting it back.

To save reading/typing, I'll echo what M/M Larsen, Martin, and Takahashi all said. I bought mine for the exact reason of M. Larsen....



Additionally, I was in the water intrusion forensics in the mid-90s and saw someone use it on stucco to line out where to break out the stucco. They had multiple batteries and back then, the saw was a wonder.



People have to remember that in the early-mid-90s, 9.6v was state of the art. The saw seems so under powered now, but back then, it was one of the first of its kind. Makita does make a 14.4v unit.



Longevity: I used mine on site over several years and 40 water intrusion forensic jobs...inside and outside (mostly for drywall, though), and I have the original one I bought in 1996. I bought a little tool box for it and have been soooooo happy.



I retro-fitted the masonry water-drip kit and have cut tile, flagstone, brick, maybe thin concrete, and most recently....a granite countertop--all counter to "opinion" I heard today from a Home Depot whiz. Where other saws don't fit, this one does (heads in, not the long tail-end) with much less chance of overcutting--kind of important on one-time-get-it-right cuts.



It isn't good for plunge cutting (not a surprise---other saws are designed for that), and the batteries don't last long if you're doing heavy cutting. But for small, fine cuts...



Foot stomp: like the others said... get a carbide blade. Oh, charge the battery before using it "out of the box."

 "Handy tool" 2008-10-02
By Gustav Campagna (Penngrove, CA United States)
Bought this as a replacement for one I wore out after many, many years of service. Handy for lots of small jobs, from sheetrock cutouts to shingling sidewalls. Be aware of the kick-back it is pretty strong. All the controls for adjustments are easy to use.

 "Makita 4390DW Recipro saw Kit" 2009-10-24
By P. Johnson (USA)
I own this Kit. Comes with saw, bat, charger (NIMH and NiCad, 7.2 to 14 volt), and two blades, #78 for wood, and #71 for metal. Inserting the blade is a bit tedious, compared to the Milwaukee 12v Hacksall, that I also use. I bought this saw Kit because I have two drills and a mini circle saw that use the same platform. Saw is very handy for a quick cut, no "Jitter" if held firmly.

 "One of my best tools" 2009-09-29
By 1/2 Canadian
I've had this saw since 1995, and admittedly only use it a few times a year for home projects. However it uses the same battery as my Makita angle drill, which makes it super convenient. Its portability is one of its most positive aspects, just as with the drill. After 14 years, I finally broke one of its saw blades today, cutting through aluminum channel metal, which is tricky to keep from twisting and stressing the blade.



That's one of the negatives here... the blades are not standard reciprocating saw blades, but rather oversized jig saw blades, for all intents. Limited power = limited blade size and capability. Not that this rig doesn't have plenty of power, because it does. But that's why it can snap a blade; so a modicum of caution is advised - don't overreach the shorter blade throw, nor cut too cockeyed a line. And wear safety glasses cuz my blade broke off the tip as well as broke at the base, and that tip went aflying across the garage.



That leads to the only other negative. Finding replacement blades is no piece of cake if you want them from a stick built store. Plenty available online though. All that negative aside, I'd recommend this rig to any friend or acquaintance. And I'd buy another myself if I needed one, because it is so easy to take anywhere (upstairs, downstairs, to the yard or shed) and use without worrying about a darned cord, and it makes a lot quicker work of steel cutting projects than a hack saw; as long as you control its power and don't force the cut of the blade. On its own in not too thick a steel, it will buzz through like it was butter. Like any recipro, the width of the guide foot can complicate closesness of cut, but that inconvenience doesn't overshadow the great overall usefullness of this very handy tool.

 "It's a Finish Reciprocating Saw" 2009-03-14
By J. Lee
I use this tool for cutting conduit, steel/aluminum tubing, bolts. The great thing about this tool is that you can use it with one hand and still have great precision and control of the tool because the trigger is only 5" from the blade instead of way in the back. Your hand grips the center of mass of the tool and it's amazing how light and balanced it feels in your hand. This saw is a scalpel and more suited towards finish cutting than the larger recipro saws. I've cut up to 4" conduit with this tool, so it is no slouch. The short stroke of the blade allows you to get into some pretty tight places while minimizing collateral damage. It is one of my favorite tools. The only thing I'd change about the tool is convert over to 12V and some of the newer batteries, but keep the overall shape and size.

 "da "DAWG"" 2009-02-13
By H. Wells (Triad, NC USA)
How did I survive without this one! Sure to be a classic in my Hall of Tool Museum. I love Makita's, especially if made in Japan. This is made in Canada, so I have faith they did it right. Now, I have the whole line. So much better than a sabre or sawzall.....

 "Great for the medium to small jobs" 2009-01-22
By Review Man (Richland, WA)
I purchased this for a "self" Christmas present as I often find that I need a saw to get into tight spaces and the big reciprocating saws were too long or just didn't fit. I recently had a plumbing project and the saw worked excellent. I have used the saw for several cutting projects around the house and I'm very satisified. I do recommend purchasing a few extra blades if you decide to buy the unit...
