You can use a Makita cordless jigsaw for detailed saw jobs. A power cord gets in the way when you're precisely sawing a curve. With a Makita cordless jigsaw, you're not bothered by this. In addition, you can use the Makita cordless jigsaw at places where there's no socket near. Make sure that you have a fully charged battery, so that you can do the job without interruptions. The Makita cordless jigsaws are part of the Makita battery platform. This means you can also use the batteries of other Makita tools on these jigsaws. Check before purchasing if your battery is part of the right battery platform and if it has the right voltage.
