Just saw this over at Toolguyd surprised they went for a brushless jigsaw as their first brushless tool outside of drills and impact drivers. http://toolguyd.com/makita-18v-brushless-jigsaw/
It makes sense though with the amount of use these tools get. I will admit, I almost bought Makita’s brushless corded jig as opposed to Festool’s. I think I would be happier with the Festool, it is awesome, but Makita makes some really high quality corded tools and my magnesium Hypoid circular saw from Makita is my favorite for cutting through big stuff. This jig looks surprisingly like the Carvex that Festool has out right now.
That is interesting, although I think its a bit long. I wonder if the length helps in any way?
This is a sweet looking saw, hope it makes its way to the states soon.. definitely on my to buy list
