  • Great tool!
I love this tool, every time I’ve use it just just works flawlessly, Worth every penny. Now that I have one I use it for all kinds of things. Get the right blades, I’ve been using it to cut rubber mat horse stall mats, hardwood, being able to plunge cut is awesome. Really everyone should I own one.

  • Be careful, Fein makes application specific tools for specific industrial applications.
Be careful of the speed you use and the length of time in use. Its oscillation stroke length this new model is about 4 degrees to each side which can be twice the length of other brands and the original Makita tool. If you were to use a to use the new tool at the speed of a competitive tool you risk burning out the blades. The upside is that you can run the tool at slower speeds and at lower vibration levels and get the same cutting performance. The headline above addresses application specific limitations and there are special Fein blades that predate the Starlock system. These older style blades do not work with Starlock. Its interesting to look at the big Fein catalog and see the variety of applications for which Fein developed specific blades. I found that glaziers working on high rise building at one time used specific Fein blades to remove caulk without damaging the mullions (the frames around glass). Wooden boat decks often have special caulking which is replaced periodically and often relies on special Fein blades which remove the caulk without damaging the wooden planks. Fein has developed specific automotive applications too. In these applications yellow and red tools are not likely found., Lastly, I surprisingly find Makita acolytes who make broad assumptions on tool performance on tools which only differ in color. In most cases they are the same. I have been told that the differing Japanese trades use tools of specific colors so that it is obvious on the jobsite when one tradesman such as a plumber is seen using tools that used that are typically used by electricians. I suspect that this color coding is used for all sorts of tools including hand tools. ... show more

  • The best of all features in a battery tools that performs like a corded one.
I've been running the corded Fein, which is the original & highest-end oscillating tool, and have zero complaints about it. It is the standard setter for all oscillating tools. But this one is cordless and takes it to another level. It does have a soft start, which is the bare minimum in my book. But it also has a quick soft stop, if that makes any sense. When you shut the tool off, it stops quickly, but not immediately. That obviously helps with accuracy and avoiding "overcuts." But it also helps you control the tool when it stops. The blade release is the simplest and fastest I've ever used. The variable speed has a very big range. This is huge-- there is little to no vibration on your hand when using this tool. I can't recommend this enough. If and only if there is an area where the Fein shines above, it would be in size. The Makita is a lot bigger and thicker than the Fein. That is the only reason I gave it 3 stars for Maneuverability. But the grip is comfortable and fits the hands well. ... show more

  • Very Smooth
Have been waiting for this for a long time. My old Fein multi-tool was on its last legs and I wanted a new cordless one. Having bought into the Makita cordless platform years ago, it made sense to get the Makita 18V multi-tool. The problem was it did not stack up so well against the competition. I don't necessarily have to have the latest and greatest tools, but as a pro I want something that performs as well as, or close to what's available. For one thing, it wasn't brushless, which will effect run time. Finally Makita pulled its thumb out and built this XMT04ZB. I have only had it a week so my feelings may change, but so far I'm impressed. I'll be curious to see how it compares to the other brands in side by side reviews or tests. The first thing you notice is the size. It is a bit bulky. So far this has not been an issue. With the battery it is well balanced and comfortable. I'm assuming the reason for the bulky head is due to how it performs. By that I mean it is powerful, but really quiet (compared to other models), and almost completely free of any vibrations. This thing is so smooth! It's a joy to use. Like the other top brands this has a brushless motor and a quick tool-less blade change feature. The LED light on the head is handy, and it accepts the 3 different Starlock types of blades. I hope to find an adaptor so that I can use other brand blades and generics. So far it looks like this is only being sold as "tool only". I for one like most of my tools stored in hard plastic cases. I really hope Makita makes a specific hard-case for this. ... show more

  • Excellent tool but with a couple of shortcomings
Overall, this is a great tool that (for the most part) demonstrates the Makita quality that I've come to expect. It feels well balanced in my hand and has a comfortable grip. The soft start is nice and the overall noise level is noticeably less than that of another popular brand that I frequently come in contact with. I like the fixed variable speed control that allows me to maintain a constant speed rather than have the speed control in the trigger which can be more difficult to maintain the best speed. The brushless motor has plenty of power and I haven't found a situation yet where I've been disappointed. It does have a couple of disappointing features. 1) I don't see any advantage to the Starlock blade mechanism and a disadvantage in needing to remove and keep track of the pin which holds the blade in place. I would have preferred the universal blade mount mechanism used on most of popular oscillating tools. 2) The blade release mechanism is poorly designed (very disappointing for a Makita tool). The release handle is not very substantial and the mechanism for attaching to the release spring is poorly designed. If you are not careful, the handle mechanism will slip over the top of the two dogs on top of the spring and your only recourse is to disassemble the tool in order to get the release handle back in place. I find that I need to be VERY gentle in using the release handle to release the blade. I still think this is an excellent tool but am disappointed in the blade release mechanism. ... show more
