June 24, 2017 - Comment
Trades of all kinds are turning to oscillating multi-tools for a range of applications, and the Makita 18V LXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Multi-Tool (model XMT03Z, tool only) delivers corded speed and power without the cord. The XMT03Z is engineered with additional features like reduced vibration and lower noise for improved performance, and is ideal for cutting, sanding, scraping, grout removal, and more. It’s part of Makita’s expanding 18V Lithium-Ion series, the world’s largest cordless tool line-up powered by an 18V Lithium-Ion slide-style battery. The Makita 18V LXT battery has the fastest charge time in its category, so the battery spends more time working and less time sitting on the charger. The XMT03Z delivers up to 20 minutes of run time with Makita’s fast-charging 18V LXT Lithium-Ion 3.0Ah battery (sold separately). The variable speed control dial (6,000 – 20,000 OPM) and soft start feature enable the user to match the speed to the application with more control, and the 3.2 degree oscillation angle is engineered for faster, more aggressive cutting and sanding. The XMT03Z has a small diameter barrel grip for improved handling, a large on/off slide switch with lock-on button, and adapters to fit most competitive accessories. The XMT03Z is engineered for a range of applications including cutting, sanding, scraping, grout removal, and more. It is ideal for remodelers, carpenters, plumbers, wood floor installers, and general contractors seeking a best-in-class cordless multi-tool.

I am very happy with it and compatible with my drill batteries I am very happy with it and compatible with my drill batteries. I bought it after buying a harbor freight toy. The HF unit proved to me that I’d use one if I had it, but it pooped out whenever I needed it the most. So, I replaced it.
Another tool I ask myself, “How did I work without it for so long?!” I bought this tool for a travel trailer I’m working on. I needed a tool to cut plywood flush with the trusses from the inside, without having to cut out the rubber membrane roof (EPDM) to get all the rotten plywood out. This tool hit the ball out of the park. I buy nothing but Makita, all other brands are a joke by comparison. This tool is heavy, well balanced, and professional grade. Don’t bet on using it overhead without your biceps and forearms getting a very good workout. This was literally…
Quick-change feature needs to be relocated I had been using the older version of this tool (model LXMT02Z) for the last 2 years and love it. However, my biggest complaint about it was the lack of a quick tool change. Problem solved with this newer model. So why is this not a 5 star tool then?
