   Makita 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion Sub-Compact Brushless Cordless Band Saw (Tool-Only) If your looking for a compact, portable, cordless band saw, the Makita 18-volt band saw is a well-made tool, and having a brushless motor makes this tool even better than previous designs because it is more power efficient.. This band saw has a 2-inch by 2-inch capacity, so while that is a bit on the small side, for the most part, whether your working on plumbing or electrical conduit lines and need to work in a tight space, this is the perfect tool to have. It was a built-in LED that shines on your work while your using it. This tool has a constant speed feature which applies more power to the blade as its cutting thru the material you are cutting, that way your cuts stay even. The trigger switch has a safety feature so it will not power on accidently when you are carrying it around. I really like using this tool, and it is something that when I need it, it is worth every penny in time saved over using a hack saw. Don’t forget to get a battery and charger if you don’t already have a Makita 18 volt battery.
