Makita DJS 130

The Makita DJS130ZJ is a battery-powered metal shear designed for professional sheet metal work. This tool operates on the Makita 18 V LXT battery platform (batteries and charger sold separately) and delivers clean, precise cuts in various metal materials. With a maximum cutting capacity of 1.2 mm for structural steel and 1.5 mm for aluminum, this shear is ideal for sheet metal fabrication, HVAC installation, and metal roofing applications. The tool features a compact design with a length of 295 mm and a weight of 1.9 kg without the battery, providing excellent maneuverability in tight spaces. It incorporates a double insulation system for enhanced user safety and operates with minimal vibration to reduce user fatigue during extended use. The cutting mechanism utilizes a punch-and-die system that produces clean, burr-free edges without generating sparks, making it suitable for use in potentially hazardous environments. The shear maintains consistent cutting performance with an optimized gear design that ensures smooth operation and extended tool life. It includes an integrated chip guard that directs metal shavings away from the work area, improving visibility and cleanliness. The ergonomic soft-grip handle offers comfortable control during operation, while the built-in LED work light illuminates the cutting line for improved accuracy in low-light conditions. This tool is compatible with all Makita 18 V LXT batteries and is part of the extensive Makita battery system, allowing users to share batteries across multiple tools. The Makita DJS130ZJ is designed for professional metalworkers, contractors, and manufacturers who require reliable, portable cutting capability for sheet metal applications.
