Makita TM3010CX1 Multi-Tool Kit

Great little MFer. Acquired for one task, which it performed perfectly. Now I get to use it for the next 30 years for other stuff all at no cost. I framed in some new window openings for my stucco covered house, I worked from the inside out. Built the rough opening frames with 2 X 4s, fastened them in place behind the stucco, then used the multi-tool with diamond blades, set the blade flat on the frame and cut perfect openings in the stucco, with no chipping or tear out. Performed flawlessly. Highly recommended.

Let me put it this way: I got the tool and proceeded to cut out the wood floor of a half bath in about 8 minutes. Then, I picked up my Dremel multi-tool...and threw it in the trash. Apart from how well the Makita cuts, it doesn't get hot and it doesn't make your hand vibrate for an hour after using it. There's some vibration that follows, but the difference is night and day from what I had to endure with the Dremel. And, the Makita actually cuts material other than drywall, The Makita is more expensive than some of the others, but it's worth every penny, if only for the reason that it cuts wood like butter. It's a quality tool and exceeded my expectations by a mile. My only complaint is that it's made in China. I'll never understand why companies with outstanding engineering and reputation believe it's a good business decision to go to China to manufacture their goods. I would have paid more if it was made in Japan instead of a country that oppresses its people so horribly; irrespective of the fact that it's also notorious for its indifference to accuracy, precision, quality materials and quality control. I guess companies are encouraged to do so because governments want to brag about lowering their country's emissions while forgetting to mention that they achieved it by sending their manufacturing to places where emissions aren't much of priority and likely never will be.

I love Makita to begin with. The tool is not heavy. I am female and have small hands. This tool is perfect for me and it does the job perfectly. I wish I bought it sooner. I also prefer corded tools for constant power and of course lighter weight and this one is exactly it.

This is an excellent corded tool. Compared to other multi-tools I've owned (Porter-Cable and Rockwell), this one is by far the best. It is extremely low-noise and low-vibration. Power output is strong, and the soft-start electrically-controlled motor doesn't slow down when pressed hard. I avoided buying other brands that require proprietary blade designs. Who needs the aggravation? This quick-change blade clamp worked perfectly with my universal-fit blades made by different companies. The kit comes with adapters for other types of blades, a sturdy case, one blade, sandpaper kit and a small detachable blade case.

It does everything that you want it to and more. Great tool, I would buy again.

The tool itself is great. I like the slow ramp-up feature when you turn it on. It helps you place the tool where it needs to be more easily than if it started at full torque. It has fit every tool that I've purchased thus far. It has all the power I need without having to worry about charging batteries. My only gripe is that the case is not jobsite worthy. I only had it a week or so and the hinge got destroyed. It wasn't being abused, but it is being used in the company of contractors and other tools. I expected a more sturdy, well-built case from Makita to match the build quality of the tool itself.

I got an opened item and saved some $. The item was likely not even used. I like how easy it’s to replace the blade and how powerful the tool is.

The tool is very good! Unfortunately, there was some shipping damage. However, the customer service took care of my concerns extremely well.

Product was delivered in a damaged / used box. Outer box was fine. Item was sold as new on site. Disappointing. We returned the item for a refund. This was a gift that was not well received.
