Easy to use and good build but rather expensive. Works well with other batteries from other makita tools and pretty powerful for a cordless tool.
Not impressed with this and I really do like makita. Would not recommended.
Great tool the best thing no cable to worry about I think for the price makita tools are great value
Solid piece of equipment and is really easy to use. Great value for money.
My second time owning this saw. It does all the things it supposed to. But for some reason I feel this has less power than the last one. But it is all the same codes. It works fine and cuts well anyway
Tried a few cheaper different makes which have either not lasted or would not cut a straight vertical line.
You get what you pay for with Makita. Very nice to handle, cuts straight lines helped by the led light and it is easy to change the blades. Have bought other Makita tools and have never been disappointed.

good bit of kit but had to take out clear plastic guard
Brilliant bit of stuff got a lot of jobs to do at home can get on and do it now. Good service and the driver who came was good as .

Easy to use, accurate and so much better than corded Jigsae.
Using since I got it to fit a kitchen, it’s light, and easy to use, great quality product.
Simple to use, very accurate and generally a nice piece of ki
This has heavy daily use and last me 2 1/2 years
Works well and as expected easy to use and durable hence Iv returned and bought more
The downsides to the tool are that the screws that hold the baseplate together can work loose with vibration so need to keep tightening and sometimes loose them also the blade release catch can feel a bit flimsy but I haven’t broken one yet some times the screw works loose and needs tightening.
My last saw broke at the base I noticed the base gradually bowed and finally snapped clean off over a period of time.
Although the about may not inspire too much confidence in the tool, rest assured that it is a very good sturdy saw and is up to any job it has a good weight to it and stays accurate when cutting although if you try to cut something thick and hard say 6×2 through a not it can cause the blade to slide over the guide wheels thigh can Bend the cut slightly other than that but this would be expected from other branded saws too

Cut some shapes out of wood for stencils. Has very good trigger action so you can start slowly. Very easy to use
So far I have used it to cut hardboard to put over floorboards prior to carpeting and I can say it works fantasticly.
Not wanting to replace all of the previous boards (just those which are cracked), I can say this is a capable tool- I was able to match the wandering lines of the neighbouring original boarding easily.
A few features which you may want to know about:
*Quick release blade with no tools required is great. Allows you to remove the blade every time you put the tool down to prevent damage.
*Comes with a plastic protector for cutting softer materials without scratching.
*Includes an anti splinter attachment and 4 x speed options.
Highly recommend. Another win from Makita.

Got mine stored in a makpac 2 case.
It’s the same as any corded jigsaw but without the cord.
Makita. What can I say. Does exactly what is said on the box. Makita tools have never let me down.
Tool seems great, solid well made. Only had it a few days, Dust extraction is terrible. Plastic clips that hold it in place have already broken. It also has a tiny diameter outlet so it’s taken a lot of gaffer tape and fiddling to connect to vacuum hose
Bought to replace my corded jig and wish I’d done it a lot sooner. Makes the job so much easier and cuts are a breeze. Heavier than my corded but that’s not a problem. Highly recommended
Solid, fully featured and dependable. Cuts beautifully and feels like a bargain at this price.
Gekauft wurde die DJV180 ohne Akku ohne Macpac fr 149.
Da muss ich schon mal sagen: Ich verstehe das Makita Sortiment nicht. Produktion ist 7/2020 und die Maschine nicht auf der HP. Egal.
Lieferumfang (da nicht komplett beschrieben, halber Punkt Abzug):
– Stichsge
– Imbus fr Gehrung an der Maschine (top)
– 6 (!) Original Makita Sgebltter (4x Holz, 2x Metall
– Gleitschlitten
– Kleiner Splitterschutz
– Absaugadapter
Gesamteindruck:
Es handelt sich um eine richtig solide und robuste Stichsge. Sie liegt stabil in der Hand und ist schwer. Eher ein Plus, aber wer Bastelschnitte auf Sperrholz mit Kindern machen will, sollte lieber etwas kleineres nehmen.
Alle Bedienelemente wirken extrem hochwertig und hier merkt man: Made in UK! (Nicht EU, aber dass lassen wir mal durchgehen). Die nur Englischsprachige Anleitung finde ich nicht schlimm. Es gibt ja Internet.
Praxis:
Sge wahnsinnig gut, ruhig und sauber. Geschwindigkeit per Druck regulierbar. Safetylock ist einfach zu bedienen und strt nicht. Der Blattwechsel geht Werkzeuglos. Aaaaber: wre die Maschine 2-3 Grad mehr nach hinten geneigt, knnte sie auch auf der 18V Akkus stehen. Schade, aber kein Punktabzug. Einen weiteren Punktabzug gibt es fr das Spnerohr: Dieses ist zwar praktisch auf beiden Seiten ansteckbar, hat aber ein so kleines Format, dass man unbedingt einen Mini Adapter fr den Sauger braucht. Kein Standart 35-36mm..
InSumme: War fr mich sein Geld Wert und wird – wenn er hlt – Teil meiner Lieblingsausstattung.
Negativ:
– Steht nicht auf dem Akku
– Komisches Absaugformat
Positiv:
– Robust, gummiert
– Liegt schwer und solide auf dem Werkstck
– Ruhiger, sauberer Schnitt
– Przises Arbeiten mglich
Value for money does excellent job saving on elbow grease
I bought the Makita djv180z after looking at some reviews. I was going to buy the brushless djv182z until i realized it had some features that would not be suitable for me. The slow start i don’t want on a jigsaw. The djv180z doesn’t have the slow start or any other features like load detection. I can do all this myself with the trigger with the djv180z this also has the job light and is a joy to use. Very fast lasts ages with 5amp battery. Very smooth and clean cut also turns really well. Best Jigsaw i have ever owned and I’ve gone through a few in my time. I’m a Laminate floor fitter.
No issues. Just what you expect from makita. Spare blades and a polished removable surface protector were included.
This is a great saw. Its even better than my old 240v jigsaw. Its quite heavy but really easy to use and it feels solidly buil
However, as soon as I clipped in the battery I noticed that something wasn’t quite right – it didn’t clip in with the usual reassuring solid sounding ‘clunk’ and the battery is a little loose too.
On further inspection I saw that it lacked the two rubber dampers that other Makita products have (some have 3)
I have read that vibration can kill these intelligent LXT Batteries (their MultiTools have additional damping for this very reason)
I’ve since found out that the next model up (DJV182) has these 2 rubber dampers so is it a cost saving exercise? Surely 2 tiny pieces of rubber or synthetic rubber isn’t that expensive when a new battery can cost 50!
The cynicist in me might suggest that Makita did this deliberately so that we buy more batteries
Otherwise, I cannot fault this jigsaw it runs (or cuts) rings around my corded Bosch Professional jigsaw – the DJV180 is a brilliant piece of ki
ot so complicated as the brushless barrel which I also had so less to go wrong, only change the brushes periodically.
I dropped the barrel one and although no visible damage I have to get it repaired as the electronics wasn’t strong enough to take a knock.

Well built. Can’t go wrong with spending a bit extra for a good brand
Great product well made,easy to control lots of grunt. But by the time you add battery and charger it’s quite expensive.
Very sturdy workhorse. Lots of power and as good as the corded.
Great tool gets used lots it’s so handy just pick it up and cut so much better than having a wire to contend with
Another amazing piece of kit, comes with spare blades and the speed can be adjusted , good value for money and very sturdy
I love this machine. I swear by Makita and this hasn’t disappointed me.
I can’t believe how easy the saw was to use, cutting away from a power supply is so easy. The blades are quick and easy to change.
This product was given to my son in law for Christmas who is a carpenter and he loves it says it one of the best he has had
This was purchased a s gift, it was a very good price and was delivered very quickly. Would definitely use this supplier for any future purchases.
I’m using this jigsaw every day as a professional and I’m very happy with it!
I do like the jigsaw, but find it hard to see where it is actually cutting. This is a bit of a design issue that i see they have tried to fix with a notched guide. Still a little hard, but I needed one that went with the batteries that I had.
Any makita tool is great. The more I own the more I buy just great. I’m a plumber and use makita for everything.
My first cordless purchase and so I missed the fact that it came without the power pack. My mistake. Just used it to cut marine ply and found the handling beautiful and easy. Not too heavy, and smooth, non-rattly progress. Especially useful, as I worked outside in the evening, was the light falling just right on my thinly drawn pencil line. Couldn’t be happier.

Had this a while and used for the first time today and I am very impressed! I have a Bosch GST 150 which is an excellent corded jigsaw, but there are times when cordless is much easier. Today I was cutting up a load of old wood ready for burning and tried a few different methods, but this cordless jigsaw was by far the easiest and quickest through a number of different types of wood.
Battery life is pretty good, I used a full battery and started on another, I anticipate that I’d get a full day and a half from two full 5ah batteries doing what I’ve been doing today.
Build quality is good, oddly, this jigsaw is made in the UK. It only comes with a plastic shoe for delicate surfaces, a cheap and nasty clear plastic guard to stop splintering on laminates and a small bore dust collection tube, along with a pack of blades, I think 6 or 7 in total.
The power of this jigsaw is not quite as quick as a corded, but it is not far off. It doesn’t seem to have as many RPMs as my corded jigsaw, but still cuts fast and is easy to control and change direction if needed.
Overall, very impressed. It’s just a shame that Makita’s latest brushless jigsaw is as poor as it is, forcing people to go with the older brushed model.
I do not miss messing around with a faffing wire whilst cutting what so ever. You don’t realise what a burden something is until you get rid of it.
The LED light helps seeing pencil markings so much easier. And the wood debris is blown away from the blade. Still need to give a good blow yourself to clear the way for the saw base but your immediate cut line remains visible.
I stuck the Hoover attachment on from the start and even without glue it has never come off.
The saw is strong and as long as you clean and take care of it, like all tools it will last you. Don’t use the same blade for very long and be sure to house it in a case. I trust makita for their quality in tools.

Great bit of Kit does exactly what I require and love the cordless. 5 out of 5 spot on Makita!
Good Jig saw. Light. Good power. Light is good. Base is strong. Tool less blade change is excelle
Love this jigsaw bought to go with my other Makita 18v kit, works great better than my corded one only snag I found was I bought some flush cutting blades but they won’t work with this jigsaw due to the wire guard on the front of the saw.
Helped me out of a tight spot may times now!! Literally..
Simple to use and as it’s cordless can be used anywhere
Apart from that this is superb, and for some reason gives me cleaner cuts than the Bosch.
Goes from very low speed to very high.
Not as much vibration and noise as cheap alternatives.
Doesn’t come with a battery or charger obviously.

Brilliant tool clear straight cut and so much better than my old one and no more tripping over wires and looking for a power sockets definitely recommend it .
Very good webshop! The makita is just PERFECT, thanks for fast shipping..
Powerful. Comes with six blades, so it can be used right out of the box. Light is a very helpful but often overlooked feature. Only suggestion for Makita is to make the tilting mechanism lock at 0 degrees. Only way now is to eyeball it, which may be off my a few degrees.
Bought it because of its versatility. No wires so can be used anywhere and it has not let me down.
It’s now 4 years later , and this jig saw is still going strong as if I just bought it , GREAT bit of kit!
This saw is the bollocks. Use it for everything. Great with laminates. x
So far so good. Mind you, I don’t expect any issues with this Makita product any time soon as I have a few more Makitas in my proud collection all working like magic on a Christmas morning with snow falling gently outside. Ordered it from Amazon Germany to get some practice in as I will not be using Amazon UK anymore following Brexit. Came in just three days across Europe all the way to the South East of the EU to a small country called Cyprus. Very pleased. Highly recommended for all DIY novices and professionals alike.
Already had some Makita cordless tools with batteries so purchased this as didn’t want a corded tool. Came supplied with a few blades and I used it first time on site to cut some tray and it went through it like a knife through butter.
It is light and well balanced with the battery in place and would highly recommend it.
excellent product it does the job extremely well could not fault it much better than my old jig saw
It’s a makita what else can you say, I always buy this brand can’t beat them
Fantastic jigsaw, well worth buying the more expensive name in the long ru
Slightly heavier than a corded jigsaw, especially with the battery, but is so much less hassle then trying to plug a corded one in.
Really good cut, comes with 6 Maktia blades
Brilliant just buy one .
i have a good 240 one also that I would use say for worktops, but this one is great for everything else.
Nice quality cordless jigsaw. I am using this with the Makita 5amp battery and that seems to be a good combination. Well made and seems to be a great bit of kit so far.
Whether you like speed controls on the trigger or with a preset as on most Bosch’s is a matter of preference; If you do a lot of slow speed work, the preset is much superior as the speed is easier to control, I do find myself depressing the trigger and increasing the speed, when a slower speed would produce a better cut.
My only real criticism is that the dust blower is not very effective. It’s OK on thin material but when you get to say 22mm ply it really can’t keep up with the dust produced. There is an extract tube to go with it but having a vacuum attached does nothing for its maneuverability at all. The base plate is very strong, much better than the sheet steel ones on the Bosch professional range. It is also well balanced, which was a pleasant surprise as I thought the battery weight would throw it off.
I’ve not had much cause to use it continuously so I can’t really comment on battery life, my guess would be that if you plan on using it a lot day in day out a corded version will be better, unless you have a lot of batteries! It does however save you lugging a 110V tranny around if you’re on site.

FANTASTIC BIT OF KIT,WHY BUY ANY OTHER MAKE.FEELS LIKE ITS BUILT TO LAST FOREVER.
BLOWER TO CLEAR DUST LINE, EASY BLADE CHANGE, SAY NO MORE.
This thing is so solid, you could sit an elephant on it. It’s really ergonomic in the hand and cuts heavy ply like it is cake.
