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.

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.

Brilliant tool

Yeah good tool, really helped me change my bathroom floor, would have taken forever chiselling out what this did in minutes. Got through the saw blades quickly though.

This was bought for a specific job it made so quick and easy compared to if I'd have had to carry it out with hand tools and the finish was so good. The one star comments on this product are down to operator stupidity, you do need to lift the tool release lever further than you think you should but the retaining bolt then comes straight out without any real force required. The blades then fit in securely and the only decision is what is the best angle for the job in hand. Paired with a good set of blades you will be able to carry out a lot of jobs in awkward spaces that you never thought you'd be able to do. This is a powerful tool, I didn't find the vibration excessive but as other reviewers have said if you use it for a long period you might need anti-vibration gloves.

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...

This is every but as good as I was expecting. The lever operated cam lock is really good but beware that you need to push it directly upwards to release the pin which has concentric circles rather than barbs to secure it in place. The fact it's OIS makes it compatible with most aftermarket tools. Makes nice neat cuts very quickly and is far better (faster and more rugged) than the LXT cordless version. If I have any gripes at all it would be simply how difficult it is to fit the cable back in the case - I think I'll probably stick it in a Makpak-2 case instead
