Summary
Makita backs this tool with one-year limited warranty. You will get all great features that a professional requires in a heavy-duty reciprocating saw. You will experience soft grip, lightweight, versatile, powerful and user-friendly operation without the hassle of batteries.
Selecting a corded tool is a risk-free deal because they usually come with enough warranty time. Powered by direct AC outlet, they are free from the burden and complications of fading batteries. Most importantly, a customer is not bounded with cheap selling tactics. Such things mostly happen with cordless units. For example, if your cordless unit is damaged and you are looking to buy a new one, most likely you will buy the same brand to cut the cost of a battery and charger that you already have.
These manufacturers introduce a whole variety of power tools with same compatible batteries to retain users. With a corded model, on the other hand, you can always switch brand for a better option. We picked the Makita JR3050T 11 Amp Reciprocating Saw and we will explain why in the following review.
Versatile Tool with Great Features
The Makita 11 Amp Reciprocating Saw is a better choice when you are up to renovation or remodeling of your home. It offers the right amount of power to make accurate and fast cuts on various materials. Featuring 11-amp motor and 0-2800 SPM speed, the tool is ideal for wood cutting, metal cutting, plastics, PVCs, Plaster and drywall applications.
The motor is not brushless but carbon brushes are easily accessible from outside for easy maintenance. The stroke length of 1-1/8-inch is long enough for faster cutting. It weighs only 7.3 lbs and reduces user fatigue so you can work longer without hurting your wrists. User-friendly design, tool-less blade change, and tool-less shoe adjustment reduces efforts and downtime.
Improved Performance – Faster Cutting
Despite variable speed switch, the Makita JR3050T Reciprocating Saw has an intelligent trigger. When you start cutting metal sheets, pipes or rectangular thick metals, it will start slowly. Once the blade makes its place on the cut-line, the system automatically speeds up and starts cutting faster. You will absolutely love this tool for its nice, clean and smooth cuts with speed and precision.
Secondly, the body is constructed out of tough plastic, which is light and robust. It lacks orbital action feature, so you can’t make precise angular cuts. You can only adjust depth settings without using any tool. JR3050T is unstoppable even on metals if a proper blade is used. Wood cutting capacity is faster and deeper as well.
