In der Beschreibung fehlt der Hinweis auf den UK-Stecker. Sonst funktioniert das Gert beim ersten Test gut.
Used it first to remove bottom of skirting to allow for the fitting of hardwood flooring. Did the job perfectly, just don’t rush it, let the tool do the cutting.
I’ve used this extensively. It’s a big, robust, powerful multitool
Sand and saws well, especially for floorboards etc. Will polish too.
If it’s ok, I won’t discuss the details of the product as I’m sure there are lots of information on this elsewhere – instead, more of a summery on using it.
It has quite simply been a brilliant product.
Having a broad experience in diy and using drills, cutters and even my trusty dremel for so much, this has got me out of more scrapes than I can count – from cutting plasterboard, even hatches in situ in the walls for wiring and plumbing, through to skirting replacement and even floor adhesive removal and grout removal whilst leaving the tiles in place.
It seems a really good build and has a lovely long 15amp lead attached. 3 years of vibrations has not caused any depreciation in the sturdiness and functionality of the multitool.
Although the blade fitting does require using the key included to undo the securing bolt, rather than a spring clip system that some other manufacturers use, this has meant it isn’t as expensive to purchase as these but still has the quality of these brands in other areas.
The only other thing to mention is the blades. I tend to use the Saxton brand as a cheaper alternative to the Bosch and other more expensive blades.
They can wear a little quicker, but not that much and nowhere near as quickly as some of the really cheap alternatives.
Of course it seems to depend on what you’re cutting but I have had Bosch and Saxton in a few identical blades with very little difference.
Some of the favourites outside of the usual wood and plastic cutting blades I’ve used have been the diamond end cut blades for removing grout plus 50mm scrapper blade for floor adhesive and so many other things. Also hard wood blades, allowing me to cut a neat channel in 18mm just laid oak floor, away from at the doors so as to fit in the beading edge – not much could get into that space and do that so perfectly but with no spinning blade, just vibrating blade, it is quite literally genius!
Another is the Saxton 44mm titanium long stemmed blade which come in packs of three. Even an angle grinder couldn’t cut the mortar out from between bricks in an outside wall so that a few could be removed to slot in a steel RSJ and then replace and re-cement. But this blade reaches almost to the back of the brick depth and the multitool causes no damage to the bricks.
Please don’t get me wrong, this is not the only tool that you’ll ever need. However, it is a great asset to others in your collection and can do so much from the bigger cutting tasks to more surgical precision like tiding skirting before painting and other fine work that even a dremel can’t get into.
I hope this 3 year late review helps.
Usual Markita quality, main advantage is that the blades are fixed with a bolt, so no change without a tool, but the blades are rigidly fitted to the tool meaning that all the power goes into the blade and the fastening shouldn’t loosen with age.
This is probably why in practice the Makita cuts better and quicker than the cheap one it replaced, blade wear also seems less, still better to use branded blades as cheap ones don’t last and use the correct blade for the material you’re working with.
So far used to remove tiles, mortar and paint. Best use was removing wood and paint preventing doors from closing, no scraping or chiselling required, but there are many other jobs where it reduces time and effort.
So to sum up, a solid and well made multi-tool that will tackle the jobs you have been avoiding.
Bought as a must as a heating engineer that constantly has to raise floor boards. Perfect to cut boards instead of levering up and sawing, saves so much time with other applications too.
Great tool – versatile and easy to use and it can do just about anything.
Maketa allows the best I have had this make for over 45 years as a builder in both Australia and England and they are simply the BEST
In combination with the blade set this is one of the best tools I have seen in a long time. Amazon price and delivery were very good.
On the other hand, if ur fitting upvc fascia and soffets and guttering then this little baby is just the ticket. Although sometimes a hand saw is quicker. But ideal for cutting little joiners and comers etc. Get ur blades from Saxon blades. DO NOT buy out of rideons or Jewson. They are extortionate like everything else they sell.
Worth paying a few pounds extra to get this machine rather than cheaper makes.
Makes even awkward sanding projects easy and quick, and I haven’t even used the other tools yet.
It can be used as a detail sander as well as a variety of saw duties and that’s where it’s most useful. If you have to cut a thin sliver off something then these tools are idea. You might need to take off a slight corner of a nogggin or the bottom of a door frame without the aggro of pulling half the house apart and this is the tool for it. There is another job which I found it great for (and which saw off my cheap Bosch tool) and that’s chasing a wall to run in a power cable. If you are chasing in a wall there are many ways to do it. By hand with a bolster and chisel, a grinder with a stone disc or a purpose made wall chasing machine. All work well and if you don’t have to worry about the mess then fine. However if you have got to the point where the missus is about to throw a fit if another speck of dust ends up two feet from where you are working then this is the tool to use. Put a diamond tile cutter in it and then use it to chase the lines whilst getting said wife to wield a vacuum hose near to the cut. There’s almost no mess. You then use a small chisel to knock out the slot and ‘Hey presto,’ a nice neat rebate for a cable with minimum mess.
And that’s why in a long winded way I’ve arrived at the Makita. Because I found the Bosch so useful I was gutted when it died. However I realised that it’s a case of ‘Horse for courses.’ I asked too much of a tool that was more hobby DIY than serious worker. I’ve got a few Makita items and they neatly fit into the ‘pro’ standard without being utterly mad priced. This is no exception. As soon as you pick it up you can feel that it’s a cut above the entry level DIY tools. It feels solid with a smooth action and a quality level of materials used. In use it far outperforms my old Bosch item and gives me the feeling that it will last a long time. Of course I’ve not had it for very long but I’m quite sure that it will still be in hard use in a year’s time.
There is however one thing to remember when buying these sorts of tool. The blades can be simply breathtaking in their cost if you go to a local DIY store to buy them. My suggestion is to make sure that you plan ahead and order on line. I uses Shark Blades which are just as good quality as well known brands in the out of town superstores and come in at less than a third of the price.
Overall a great power tool made with quality in mind. Not the cheapest but certainly not the most expensive.
