Makita JR3070CTZ Recipro Saw Review

Makita's JR3070CTZ Reciprocating Saw comes with a durable body design that keeps dust and debris away from the motor, with rubber and felt seals that keep dust and water out for a longer tool life. With its five-position shoe adjustment and 'tool-less' blade change, this saw offers more flexibility and convenience than other models in the market. The built-in clutch reduces gear damage by disengaging gears if the blade binds, while the 4-position orbital/straight cutting action ensures precision and efficiency.

This saw is ideal for framers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, demolition work, and other demanding cutting applications. The variable speed control dial allows you to match the speed to the application, while the powerful 15 AMP motor with electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load.

While the saw's AVT is supposed to deliver superior power and performance with less vibration, some users have reported experiencing vibrations despite this technology. Additionally, the CT model of the Makita JR3070CTZ is considered to be a better value for its lower price point and similar performance. However, the saw's overall versatility and power make it a standout tool in its category.
