The JR3070CT weighs just 9.7 pounds, with "tool-less" blade change and five-position shoe adjustment. Versatile Design for a Range of Applications. The JR3070CT is a versatile and powerful reciprocating saw engineered for demolition, metal cutting, wood cutting, drywall and plaster, plastics and remodeling. It's ideal for builders, roofers, metal fabricators, remodelers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class industrial quality reciprocating saw. The JR3070CT is just another example of Makita's commitment to innovative technology and best-in-class engineering. About Makita's Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT). Makita has adapted the science of earthquake engineering into power tools with Makita's Anti-Vibration Technology (AVT). AVT is an exclusive innovative counterbalance design that provides the professional a power tool solution with up to three-times less vibration, less noise and more efficient power than the competition. Seismic research has developed this damping science to absorb shocks and protect buildings from the devastation of earthquake vibrations. AVT dynamic damping involves reciprocating engineering where a mechanical damper, effectively a counter balance weight, provides an equal and opposite anti-vibration force that puts an equal mass directly opposite the point at which the striker bolt delivers the impact joules to the breaker steel, carbide bit or recipro saw blade. As vibration is eliminated, power is efficiently increased. Without the dissipation of power through vibration, more of the generated energy in the motor can be delivered to the tool bit or blade. Makita is a worldwide manufacturer of industrial quality power tools and offers a wide range of industrial accessories. Makita applies leading-edge innovation to engineer power tools that are more compact and energy efficient, yet deliver industrial strength power and results. Makita U.S.A., Inc. is located in La Mirada, California, and operates an extensive distribution network located throughout the U.S. For more information, please call 800/4-MAKITA (800/462-5482) or visit makitatools.com. Makita is Best in Class Engineering. Every Makita tool is thoroughly inspected and tested before leaving the factory. If you are not satisfied with any Makita tool within 30 days of purchase, return it and Makita will provide a replacement or refund. Each Makita tool is warranted to be free of defects from workmanship and materials for the period of ONE YEAR from the date of original purchase.

5 Stars
Great machinery.
A bit heavy but it runs like a solid machine. I wish the locking tab were more simple and rugged. The plastic tab on it seems like a weak point for the locking mechanism. Its hard to describe but you'd see what i mean if you bought 1. With fresh blades it'll cut through steel easily though. At my job, Milwaukee is the brand that's provided and they run great but for my money this makita is worth every penny and I don't regret going with this 1.

Mi viene da ridere quando penso che, per legge, non posso girare con un coltellino in tasca e invece nessuno può denunciarmi se mi presento imbracciando questo sterminatore carico.

Con il mio vicino che brandiva una gigantesca motosega a benzina abbiamo assaltato una massiccia palizzata di tronchi e putrelle di ferro. Ne siamo usciti vittoriosi in circa tre ore di divertente lavoro e mentre ho scoperto che io potevo fare la sua parte (i tronchi erano di max 10 cm) lui ha ammesso di non poter fare la mia (il ferro è duro!).

La missione ha richiamato i nipotini, che a loro volta hanno invitato i loro amichetti. Siamo subito diventati i loro eroi e per un po’ hanno scordato i loro cartoons preferiti. Ora ci guardano con occhi ammirati e per noi nonni è una soddisfazione.

Questo “coso” (non saprei come chiamarlo) ha un’efficacia devastante, anche nelle mani di un principiante (quale io sono).
Già solo il suo strabiliante peso (4820gr, senza lama, filo compreso, per l’esattezza) trasmette rispetto.

Tutto bene, per ciò che riguarda lui. Avevo anche acquistato un’ampia scelta di lame di varie marche e non ho particolari osservazioni sulle stesse: tutte hanno fatto la loro parte e lì solo un esperto che sa come usarle correttamente può commentare - io mi accontento di dire che ne ho distrutte poche.

Invece faccio un’osservazione a latere sulla valigetta. È molto robusta (visto ciò che deve ospitare) ma... non ho mai visto in vita mia un tale spreco di spazio. Per poterci infilare la mia dotazione di lame (superstiti) ho perciò provveduto a sventrarne un angolo. Ora sì che sono completamente soddisfatto. Se qualcuno della Makita mi legge e adotta il mio brevetto, accetterò con piacere un loro presente.
