Makita XSJ05Z 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2" Fiber Cement Shear

The Makita XSJ05Z 18V LXT Lithium‑Ion Brushless Cordless 1/2" Fiber Cement Shear (Tool Only) is designed for cutting cement board for exterior siding, backer board, or floor underlay with minimal dust.

The XSJ05 is equipped with a Makita-built brushless motor allowing for a high degree of power efficiency with an exceptionally high 3,000 SPM speed. It has replaceable cutting blades that can be reversed for new cutting edges and longer blade life.

The shear head rotates 360-degrees with an easy push-button for various cutting positions. The shear features cast aluminum gear housing for less weight. A variable speed trigger provides increased control during use. The trigger has a lock-off power switch, requiring two actions to start the power. This metal shear features an ergonomic D-handle grip with an in-line motor for increased maneuverability. Other features include a built-in L.E.D. light and belt clip.
