The verdictOur take

The JV001G is Makita's 40V XGT barrel-grip jigsaw, with a 26mm stroke, 135mm wood depth and a dial up to 3,500 spm, the same cutting figures as the 18V DJV181. Makita declares low board-cutting vibration (4.6 m/s²) but the loudest noise in this set (90 dB(A) LpA). It weighs 1.9kg bare and comes in a MakPac.
