Makita 18V X2 Brushless Rear-Handle Circular Saw

Pro Tool Reviews: Since this year’s World of Concrete, Makita’s done a nice job of building the mystique of the forthcoming Makita 18V X2 Brushless Rear-Handle Circular Saw, which the company claims is the world’s first cordless rear-handle circular saw. It’s a 36V tool that runs on Makita’s 18V LXT platform, meaning it uses two Makita 18V batteries to power its 7-1/4-inch blade through lumber.
