The verdictOur take

The JV103D is the top-handle twin of the JV102D, with the same 90mm wood depth, 10mm steel and 23mm stroke. Makita gives it lower vibration than the barrel-grip version (8.5 against 11.5 m/s² cutting boards) at 1.9–2.0kg with a battery. Against the brushed JV101D it cuts deeper and runs faster, 3,000 against 2,900 spm.
