The verdictOur take

The JV101D is Makita's basic 12V CXT top-handle jigsaw, with an 18mm stroke and 65mm wood depth. Its metal figures are low (2mm steel, 4mm aluminium) against 10mm steel on the brushless JV103D. Makita gives 1.8–1.9kg with a battery and the lowest noise in this set (83 dB(A) LpA).

Tool weight worked out by adding each pack's weight to the bare tool, using the makers' figures. The maker's own with-battery figure can differ slightly. We may earn a commission on retailer links.
