Makita, a pioneer in Brushless Motor technology and battery innovation, combines both in the 18-Volt X2 LXT (36-Volt) Lithium-Ion Brushless Rear Handle 7-1/4 in. Circular Saw (XSR01PT). It’s powered by two 18-Volt LXT Lithium-Ion batteries for maximum performance and has an electronically controlled BL Brushless motor that matches torque and RPM to the application. Makita 18-Volt X2 means freedom from the cord, even for demanding applications like cutting sheet and dimensional lumber that traditionally called for a corded saw. Best of all, users can remain in 1 battery platform, using the same fast-charging 18-Volt batteries with the XSR01PT as they use across the expansive Makita 18-Volt LXT cordless tool series. The XSR01PT has a long list of features for efficient cutting without the cord. Users of leading corded saws will appreciate the blade-left rear-handle design. The electronically controlled Brushless Motor delivers a full 5,100 RPM for efficient cutting. In internal testing, the XSR01PT made up to 558 crosscuts per charge in 24 SPF lumber using 2 fully-charged 5.0Ah batteries. Added features include a large 2-9/16 in. cutting capacity at 90 that will cut 3X lumber in a single pass and an electric brake for maximum productivity. The saw has a die-cast magnesium base and blade guard with die-cast aluminum blade cover and motor housing. This bundle also includes the B-61656, 7-1/4 in. 24T Carbide-Tipped Ultra-Thin Kerf Saw Blade for framing.

   Could not pass up the HD special deal on this one. Saw plus FOUR 5Ah batts and double-charger for $249. Incredible price that seduced me into buying both the rear-handle and sidewinder versions. Kept the RH and returned the sidewinder once I came to my senses. I’ve only used sidewinders and 18V cordless before this one, so this was an eye-opener in couple ways. (1) RH saw is more intuitive for righties, and it tracks and is much easier to control on longer rip cuts. (2) 36V motor is game changer really does feel and sound like 15A corded power in hand. Batteries seem to last forever too. Main complaint re this saw is it does NOT have light or laser guide. Its made for pros. Really miss that rookie-assist feature on my little Ryobi. Otherwise this is a sweet and strong power tool. Cornerstone of my Makita 18V collection.
