I sold mine to another member a while back, I miss the jigsaw, it’s an awesome piece of machinery and well built.

I like what I see but I don’t terribly regret having already picked up a “standard” BL. The way Makita shaped the body of it you can basically barrel grip it already if it feels better. That was a subtle touch that I didn’t notice before buying it that I really like. Not as much of a fan of being forced to use the electronic load-sensing though. Although you can adjust to it easily enough, I would have preferred the option to modulate via the trigger old-school style.

Does anyone know of a dealer that has this in stock yet?  Ive been waiting a long time for this sucker to arrive.  Gooogle isn’t bringing up much.

OP means “finally in USA” I’m assuming. They’ve been in Canada for ages and plenty of Americans imported them from here. 

 

I picked one up for a good deal months ago and still haven’t used it lol. Then the M18 version was announced which would realistically suit me a little better.

Yes I meant “finally in USA”. I almost ordered it form Canada a few month back.
