Multi-tool Head to Head Vid. Makita VS Milwaukee VS DeWalt VS Bosch VS Hikoki (Metabo HPT) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i6unppCYx7u5mJ8.html

Quick side by side of the 3 Makita multitools kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qtuCerdimtzMcmw.html

Can't wait for the line up of multitools. Thanks & appreciate bro. 🙇🏾‍♂️✌🏾🔔🤙🏾

Great info and humor, man. I am looking forward to the next generation of these things. Next one will have three colored lights that blink and DeathStarLock.

That was long awaited! Makita finally updated their 18V multitool with a brushless one and they seem to have done a good job. They now need to update the 18V random orbital sander.

Just pulled the trigger on the dtw52zx1 kit today. Blown away with it so far. Just the vibration alone makes it an upgrade over my Fein.

the light-test, 51... i love that kind of humor :) just bought 51 a few weeks ago, sadly too late for return. still, i waited years for a brushless makita 18v multitool (i am in the 18v battery ecosystem). thanks for the review! oh, and i am very happy, that i bought blades that are both OIS and Starlock (Bosch blade set), so no replacement needed for now.

One of the most versatile and handy tool purchases I've ever made. I've got so many blades that I will wait on buying this new one. I'll keep my 51 for awhile longer.

Thanks for the review mate - saved me some money 🙏🏿

Everybody sooking about how the blades changed... Like it really makes much of a difference... Whilst the most important part is how well the tool works

Hey! I'm a 5% apparently. Lol

Got one today, and can't belive how quiet it is,

Gonna get the DTM52

Definitely gonna need all 3 for the job site

i know you did this review over 6 months ago but any idea when they bring out a 40v MT ? I always watch your reviews before i consider buying stuff its a good guideline to give you a rough idea of what you maybe purchasing. Thanks for the review(s).

6% now - I have just subscribed xxx. I am in the UK .....so I will no doubt miss out on the blade too!!

I recently purchased the fuel m18 milwaukee woww its just a beast i would say perfect multi tool

Excelente explicação, parabéns 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I'd like to see how this compares to the Milwaukee Fuel multi tool. I'm a Makita guy, but I've been considering getting the Milwaukee and a battery adapter like I did for the framing nailer.

This is why it's useful to have a backup tool brand. When your favorite tool company releases garbage like this you can grab a better one from another company.

Thank you for the thorough review. I use one of these tools regularly and now a new employee is constantly stealing mine. Time for an upgrade. This model looks like the bees knees.

The dewalt one has a better blade change, we use makita dewalt as well as Milwaukee, but by far we reach for the dewalt it has a handle more comfortable than the rest

I need this new Brushless to use as a sander ....get into corners and Skirtings etc👌😉

Great video 💥👌🖐

great comparison vid man! I had to do some deep research on the whole Starlock thing. What's the difference between Starlock and Starlock plus/max? so it has to do with size/length/thickness of the blades. the plus/max are bigger, longer, and thicker, and theoretically they would place too much load on the lighter multitools that only use regular Starlock. So they changed up the connection point to prevent oopsies from occurring, and burning out your lighter tool. Of course if you pick this tool up it's irrelevant as it takes all 3 blades. Also apparently the 3d section of the blade puts the load on the heavy metal cylinder of the tool instead of the load being on the blade and the spindle. So safer and stronger, at least in theory. I say theory since I haven't personally tested it, just looked stuff up. But I love the feel and comfort of my new Makita MT. I agree with your recommendation. If you've already invested a ton in another tool, especially one with OIS blades (or Dewalts proprietary stuff), stick with that. If your buying your first one, or looking to upgrade, Id definitely go with the Makita. Starlock seems to be the big one when it comes to compatibility, since most the manufacturers are going in that direction, including Festool. And since Festool does it, it's gotta be good! (jk hehe, but hey Festools are great stuff, just saying).

Well, you saved me a few hundred $$$ with your review. The Makita Australia brochure implies that the '52 WILL take the Universal fitting blades as well as Starlock, but now it looks like its the other way round - basic Starlock will fit OIS tools but not vice versa.

Love my new makita multitool, almost no vibration!

Can’t wait for xgt tools

This makes me glad I got the 50, I personally can't see the benefits cost wise, the limiting factor will always be the blades, you hit a nail and it's game over. This literally was just too replace my pad saw.

I own the 51, comfort of use 3/10...very fat and heavy. Ease / bit changes 9/10..that flip lever is very quick. Torque / toughness 9/10 can't stop it.

I use the 51 almost daily for cutting and sanding wood and never missed an led light. I usually unplug the leds from all the makita tools i use because they blind me more than they help me xD I like how you can toggle them on and off on the impact drives

I just got the xgt mitre saw and it’s so smooth

The majority of my tools are Makita these days. I waited for the longest time for them to come out with a brushless MT to the point that I gave up and went with the Milwaukee 12v; it's pretty great by the way. I don't understand how they are having so much trouble coming up with a multitool that's on par with their other stuff. They keep missing the mark. And why go Starlock! Everyone else has the other style/universal. If you're breaking blade prongs then you're probably using the wrong tool.

Unexpectedly I saw a vid in the rec)

Hi mate, like to see your review. can you please review the multi tool for Cerycose Cordless Oscillating brand？

Multi tools bits keep going on sale at my home depot, I'm talking about half price and certain packs, 3 wood blades for 9$ vs 28 $ retail. I buy a lot in bulk when they put them in the clearance, so I think keep using those blade since I have a small stock pile

another awesome video #tools&stuff

I have the 50 cause I got a good price and I loves it. The light though, I found to be shockingly bad give the current state of LED light tech, truly pathetic for all the models. They don't list lumens/lux because it would be embarrassing. Great review!

I’m with you, grinder for nails and screws

nice review! bummer it only fits those expensive starlock blades... didnt you sell the blue xgt impact?

Got one a week or so ago for 150€ in slovakia as mi first multitool and so far i love it. No blade in the box

Great. I ordered DMT51 several month ago and it was on backorder until last week... And now I find they have DMT52 :D

That is pretty weird, they have completely ignored how starlock works, this must be patent avoidance surely.

Still eagerly waiting for a xgt model

Dude I just love watching these

I am still rocking the original makita one with the allen key. I am in the market for a new one, but with the cost of these blades compared to the blades I can buy for like 3 blades for a single dollar, looks like I won't be upgrade to this newest one any time soon.

I have owned the DTM51 for around 5 years and never noticed it didn’t have a light just got a torch probably my phone light.

sweep is everything with multi tools. My plug in Rockwell goes to 5 degrees and murders 2x4's in seconds. My Makita cordless not so much. But the longer the blade the bigger the swipe and then cuts much faster.

I've had the 51 for about a year and a half and just today it started doing the "switch it on and nothing happens" trick. Guess I need to open it up and clean it. OR, buy the 52! It's not in the US yet, though. So I can order it for a small fortune, or wait, and suffer the part time 51. Thanks for the video! Also, why not make this new one and X-Lock? Let me guess... It's coming... Makita with baby steps and making us buy, buy, BUY!

Would love the 152, but more than double the price of the 151 in the UK!

I know the Fein is a clip on blade and no pin for Starlock, but Bosch developed it with Fein

You can can get Starlock to OIS adapters, but I think you'd need a longer pin to make it work.

Wirst cutting joke - I would have been disapointed without it. Good review, just ordered it.

Finally!

I'm trying to decide between the wired Makita TM3010 with Makita DTM52, I don't need portability and prefer power and longevity. Do you have a recommendation between these two?

🤔 I bet the guys and gals at makita shit a brick when they see you put a new makita tool review online. Can imagine management saying. This is how you sell tools to the masses!! 😂😂 Brilliant video as always mate. I have the latest brushless dewalt one. The blade changes are a dream. Looking forward to seeing a verses video. Makita and dewalt guy I am. But I think Milwaukee has the best multi tool right now. Stay lucky dude!🤩

You the first person to acknowledge that these tools are infact expensive to run. Plus they are light duty and its only claim to usefulness is to cut perpendicular to a surface and preferably soft wood or simlar otherwise purchase bosch shares before buying all the blades.

Can you purchase an adapter so the DTM 52 can use other types of blades?

Any news on a xgt multi tool?

I have a shop in back of my house as well. My wife says if i had a bad in my shop they would never seen me😂

Will be lucky to get this in USA in 2025!

Is it actually quieter, or is the pitch different (less annoying)?

Another interesting tool review bro! I'm Makita tools mainly. But hated there multi tool so I went with the new Milwaukee M12 anti vib multi tool. It's light and small and very grunty for a 12v tool. Beats my dad's Dewalt 18v. Also it has a magnet to hold the blade on while changing blades. That new makita looks rather clumsy to be honest.

Waiting for the 40v version. I invested in the 40v line but all the tools that are coming out are in the 18v line which makes me think I should have gotten the 18v instead...

In the States, the model number is XMT04ZB. It does not seem to be available at the moment.

I’ve got the DTM51 and it does what it needs to, but it is bulky and heavy. The 52 doesn’t seem much of an upgrade in that regard. They’re generally not used for extended periods of time so a huge battery shouldn’t be a requirement. Personally I would love to have a small and light multitool with a small battery.

Make a review on china multitool version. :)

Wow that 51 is even loud on my end. The 52 sounds like a blow dryer.

I didn't get a blade :(. Paid $240 out the door with our 25% sales tax here in Norway. I also saw that there was some dust extraction solution in the manual. My old 51 model came with a triangle sanding pad and dust extraction solution. New one did not.

compare with Milwaukee M18 Fuel 2836 pls

Any idea why they removed the urethane cylinders stoppers/bumpers in the battery hatch? All my other Makita tools have them and this tool has empty slots for them, but they aren't there.

It's exactly the king of multitools like makita impact, but unfortunately it doesnt have very quick system changing blades as dewalt has or it requires a unique one

is this the same as the "XMT04ZB" in the US? It's all black here which makes it "sub compact" which is their designation for lighter, less powerful tools. Is there a full size we are waiting for?

14:10 - to test the different tools against each other, first take out a new mortgage on your house, then cut the tips off the blades that fit the different skins & tig weld on the same blade to each tools blade. Gonna be pricey but it’s the only way I can think of a test with continuity.

Is that a rebar tool in the background? Tools is teasing us with the big money makita stuff now!?!?! 🤣 Cheers and as always thank for this review. I will be purchasing this when it comes out in the states. The 03 model kinda sucks.

Needs a magnet to hold the blade.

I don't get how company's like Milwaukee are capable of using any blade on their multitools with easily used adapters but Makita can't or can't be bothered too. But the Milwaukee fuel m18 is by far the best multitool I've used so far . It has been a while since I've tried any new ones tho

Starlock all the way ! 👌💪💪

after having tried both this model and the milwaukee fuel m18 i will stick to the milwaukee

New makita one looks good, but star lock blade is so expensive. I am gonna keep my second generation makita multi tool.

Man you are funny 😂😂😂 still nice explanations. 👍

I like the makita 52 but if the blades are going to cost a lot more dewalt would be the answer hey ??

You can now buy an adapter that lets you use the old blades on a starlock tool!!!!!

Will they make a 40v version? I am thinking of going into the 40v line since I don't have any but I do want a multitool.

Can anyone recommend a brand of star lock blades? The Bosch ones are relatively expensive vs their non star lock multi tool blades. Thanks. I an in UK btw. Just after I bought a Bosch starlpck multitool they brought out a new model which is way quieter, the battery doesn't fet in the way and less hand vibration. 😑

I can’t find this tool any where

Question is which blade style is more common? That’s a big factor in which tool to invest in.

Sexy tool...BUT....bosch starlock does not have a pin and makes it 1 hand blade change... i like the way u talk....upfront and farward...👍👍👍

Many thanks, I own the DTM50, great tool, the DTm51 looks awful. wish they made a DTm52 without the starlock.. One thing that I wish I could change is my DTM50, the Allen key drops out of its holder constantly... I may try and fashion a magnet to it someday..

The performance of this tool and the overall ergonomics seem good. With that said, I think I'm not going to buy it because I already have a lot of OIS blades, and, more importantly, there are a lot of options for getting various kinds of OIS blades for relatively cheap both online and at some discount hardware tools in my area (Chicago, USA). I also don't love the fact that you have to remove the blade retention pin when you load the blades. I guess it's not that big of a deal. I own a Milwaukee M18 multi-tool. It was the first multi-tool I've ever owned. I don't really love the ergonomics. It's too long, and because the battery is mounted at an angle, you cannot stand it up on the battery. The M18 batteries are a lot bigger and heavier than Makita 18V batteries, which makes the tool heavier and awkward to hold. I only use multi-tools as precision tools. I used one last weekend to cut out a rectangle in a builtin wall cabinet at my mother-in-law's house to install a low-voltage wall plate with an ethernet jack. In these applications, I want my cut lines to be precise and clean. I don't need my multi-tool to be very powerful. I want it to be lightweight and short so I can get a good grip close to the blade and control the cut as much as possible. Since it's really easy to overcut corners with multi-tools, I like to plunge-cut a bit further from the corners and then finish these kinds of cuts in the corners with a thin hand saw. For my wall plate, I used Milwaukee's compact hack saw to cut the last 5mm at the corners, and I was very happy with my results on this little job because my cuts were very precise. Milwaukee's blade loading system is actually really good. They use a lock lever plus a screw-down pin that doesn't drop out. You just unlock the lever, loosen the screw a bit by hand, pull out the OIS blade if it has an opening on the end, and then reverse. I think it's just as fast as starlock. But the weight of the M18 tool and the ergonomics during operation aren't great. I want a multi-tool that's lighter and shorter than my M18 with a better grip. I want a brushless motor with some good anti-vibration control to make it easier for me to precisely guide the tool along my cut lines. I think I'll probably just wait for either Milwaukee to release a more-compact M12 brushless multi-tool or maybe for Makita to release an OIS version of this tool with some small improvements.

dramatic pause after AVT a little disappointed that it doesn't use the same blade changing mechanism as Bosch.

The starlock max blades are longer. I’ve got the Bosch 18v which only takes starlock plus and there have been a couple of times when those blades didn’t reach where I wanted to go. Would have bought the Mkaita 52 if it had been out.

I still perfer Bosch multi tool. Slim enough and great grip. I used to have makita old Multi until I use Bosch one. Multi tool is handy to small area job so the narrow head is very important

It has big head so you could have handle thats possible to hold and not like old versions. Ergonomy is responsible for massive head on that multitool

I hope they release a non-starlock version of this tool. I like everything but the blade requirement.

It love #Makita®❤️👍

OIS? Oh, I see.

Top multitool(milwaukee, dewalt, festool, makita, etc.), please. Have a nice day!

Your best bet on comparing all of the multi tools is the starlock blades. I think the only one it won't fit in is the DeWalt. But the dewalt comes with a little plate and screw that fits in the bottom of the blade holder. Its not ideal and theres no "teeth" to lock the blade in so tighten the hell out of it.

So glad I went with fein a year back rather than wait for this. I'm Makita across the board for most tools other than a few items. That blade change is crap and have stopped to comment there. Starlock but still that pin nonsense? Maybe its a patent with Bosch and Fein having the proper one handed blade change.
