Makita TM3010CK/2 240V Multi-Tool Supplied in A Carry Case

Fantastic tool, I am delighted with it. Sturdy but not heavy. Not too noisy. Minimal vibration to the hands. Good and powerful. Easy to control. Blades are easy to switch. Excellent ergonomics. It has just made very short work of sanding down an oak door frame, ready for a fresh coat of oil: usually I hate doing that job (by hand or with an orbital sander) but it was a doddle.

I purchased this because I was told that a multi-tool was the way to go if i wanted to cut holes in tiles that were still affixed to the wall without damaging the surrounding tiles. Yes it it that with the help of a diamond dusted blade but it does a lot more as I have discovered in cutting, sawing, scraping and sanding, It does not come with any accessories apart from the storage case which means you have to buy some blades before you can use it - its like buying a toy without batteries included - I ordered a set of different blades from saxon SH15MXF 15 Saxton Saw Blade Mix F - Fein Multimaster Multitalent Bosch Makita Milwaukee Oscillating Multitool but it would have been nice to have a couple of blades with unit. The Makita TM3010CK/2 Mulit-tool is a well made, tough machine with a very simple way to change the blade. It is well balanced and was easy to control when running. I now find when I have to do a bit of DIY it's the Makita I turn to first.

I am daft about Makita tools, and therefore biased. But I have never had a bad one. This mains powered multi-Tool is no exception, I was given a cheap version and the difference in power and accuracy is so apparent. The cheap one gets far too hot far too quickly and tends to go off to whichever side of the work it decides to pick, this Makita stays relatively cool and maintains a straight cut. The blade holder is a little fiddlier but it is very secure, doesn't come lose and I have unwavering confidence in its ability to do the job. TEN stars...

It’s well made and has the typical makita feel, i.e. solid plastic with rubberised sections. It would be nice if they had rubberised the handle area to improve grip and reduce vibration but having said that you still have full control when using the tool. It has a nice long lead which is great when using it but is a bit of a pain when putting it back in the case, as the case it quite small, which on the flip side is good as it does not take up much room in the van. I had a top of the range Bosch multitool previously which had just a lever to change the blade and although the makita blade locking system involves a locking pin and a lever, which I thought would be a pain and slow down the blade change or when changing the blade angle, but it really isn’t an issue. Yes it’s marginally slower but don’t let it put you off. All in all a good bit of kit and for the price I suspect it’s hard to beat. I would definitely recommend it irrespective of price. Didn’t give it 5 stars as the case is a bit small and accessory blade case a bit small.

This has been incredibly handy. Wish I'd bought one years ago. Seems powerful and well made with little vibration. Buy a supply of blades in advance from Amazon as local shops are a rip off. Consider getting a battery powered one as it's quite a faff getting the extension lead out for a quick job! The power cord is long but a pain to get back into the case

Brilliant tool

Excellent value for money, had it a few years now and it's still going strong.

Very useful tool. Powerful, sturdy, well designed. Very little noise or vibration when cutting wood. Easy to control.Quick change is brilliant and the tool interface takes standard universal blades such as Baban. Blades can be oriented at various angles. Long power lead (5 metres?) Only criticism is the plastic wallet inside the detachable blade box (just under the handle). Best idea is to remove the wallet and use the blade box without it. As with all oscillating multi-tools, one should pause frequently to let the blades or sander cool down.
