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.

Not cheap, but a good quality tool. Something you come to expect from a brand like Makita. Quick and easy to change blades and performs well. The only minor gripe is that it comes with a relatively long power cable, which whilst very welcome, is a real fiddle to get back in the case.

Fantastic piece of kit. I had a Bosch which was probably not a professional grade tool. The Makita is much heavier and solid. I like the quick release blade. It is quieter with a more efficient oscillation. I would guess it will last much longer than the Bosch did. The Makita also has a good sturdy box albeit a bit small, and a long lead, probably about 3m but haven't measured it.Highly recommended

The tool itself seems excellent (I've only used it in one session so far, removing some grout from between some bathroom tiles, using a quite expensive Bosch Carbide-RIFF tile/grout segmented cutting blade). Went through thick grout with hardly any effort.The tool runs a lot more quietly than I expected - although when actually doing work the noise increases, but I think a lot of that is due to sympathetic resonance in the item being worked on.My big gripe is the plastic case! It's pretty massive, but there doesn't seem to have been much thought paid to accommodating the length of the cable at the point it exits the tool - there's a section of rubber guard around the cable where it meets the tool, and if you know anything about the way copper wire breaks after repeated bending due to work-hardening, you'll appreciate the shortcoming of the case.... this is because it demands that you bend the cable right where it exits the tool (and right where its protective rubber guard is) to the point where it feels like you're forcing it into a shape it doesn't want to go in.And even if you're willing to bend it into submission, there's no obvious place to store the generous length of cable that the tool is fitted with. If you look at my photos you'll see what I mean.Makita definitely need to go back to the drawing board on their design for the case for this tool.

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.

good quality and reasonable price. fast delivery

Excellent tool. In the last month this has had a good deal of use during a kitchen fit. It is so useful when it is not possible to get a jigsaw into position. This type of tool is slow for longer cuts but that's not what it was designed for. Tool-less feature is very convenient and holds the blade securely. Good long lead. Cuts better if the material can be prevented from vibrating.Very minor criticism is that the case is slightly too small to get all the cable in without being super tidy - but I'd rather have the long cable than a shorter one that fits easily.

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.
