Overview
A cordless circular saw from Makita's XSR01 line, run on two 18V batteries combined into a 36V system. The PT suffix and 23.1 pound listed weight suggest this covers a full kit rather than a bare tool.
Makita's 18Vx2 LXT lineup steps cordless saws up toward corded-level power by pairing two 18V packs into one 36V tool. The 23.1 pound figure is heavy for a bare saw body, which points to this listing weight including two batteries and a charger rather than the saw alone.
- 36 volt (18Vx2 LXT) battery power
- 5100 RPM no-load speed
- 23.1 pounds as listed
- PT kit suffix typically means batteries and charger included
Who it's for
Framers and remodelers moving off a corded circular saw who want a cordless option with real cutting power, and who are already on or willing to start Makita's 18V LXT battery platform.
Pros and cons
- 36V (18Vx2) platform outpaces a single 18V saw
- 5100 RPM no-load speed for faster cuts
- PT kit designation suggests batteries and charger are bundled
- 180 watt power figure looks inconsistent with the RPM
- Heavy at 23.1 pounds for overhead or ladder work
- Blade size and cut depth are not clearly stated
Performance notes
The 36V comes from combining two 18V packs, which is what lets the motor turn at a 5100 RPM no-load speed higher than a typical single 18V saw manages. The 180 watt figure in the listing data looks low next to that speed and is likely a partial or misreported spec, so rated power should be treated as unconfirmed rather than taken at face value.
