Oscillating tools are awesome. Love that the same battery works for so many different Makita tools. The quick release for changing blades is really quick and easy to use. It’s heavier than some and lighter than others, but I like the weight. Feels strong, like it’s going to last a long time. I’m turning into a Makita fanboy.

This thing is absolutely amazing. I bought it to cut the hole in my cabinet for an over the range microwave hood vent. At first I was trying to do it with a jigsaw but I couldn’t get close enough to the wall (needed to be flush). I also couldn’t get a sawzall up in the cabinet but that wouldn’t probably have worked any way. I saw this thing in a YouTube video and immediately went out and bought it. It did not let me down! This is the perfect saw for those weird cuts that you can’t make with a jigsaw or a sawzall. It’s one of the best purchases I’ve made in a long time. Highly recommended.

An unexpectedly effecient and powerful little tool for a battery-operated portable. I used it to cut plywood subfloor up to the walls after doing the long cuts with a conventional floor saw. Very handy!

This saw is light enough, even with the battery, to be very manageable for me to use. I have used on many projects and I love it.

This is one of those tools that I long looked at but couldn’t quite figure out how I would use it (or justify its purchase). Since have purchased it, it has become essential! Granted, I am in the middle of a home remodel, but I can’t begin to tell you how many times I puzzled over how to cut something (piece of trim would in an awkward position, cut a nail, etc), only to realize I have my multi-tool! This thing is solid in the hand (meaning heavy and robust feeling) and more importantly, powerful. Uses tons of blades and I love the rapid release mechanism and multiple blade speeds. Also comes with some adapters for blades that dont fit the tool (although I havent run across any that dont). Easy to use, not overly large, but clearly well made. I love it and wish I had one long ago. I use it to cut wall board, cut back installed trim (during demo) flush cut wood corners, clean grout lines of recently laid tile…fix mistakes, the list goes on. Next to my cordless drill, this is my other essential tool. I picked the Makita because I have several other Makita tools (so have the battery system), but in general I am loyal to Makita – they have always done well for/by me. I’m not a professional, just a DIY who enjoys remodeling and doing projects around the home.

Wow I love this tool! I was surprised how well it actually cut. And you can get into spots that are tough with other saws. I’m pretty sure I’ve only scratched the surface of the ways I can use it.
