MakitaDTM51Z Multi-Tool, 18 V,Blue

A great little tool. Much easier to change over the various attachments and so much more convenient to use than a mains tool.

Great multi tool. Smooth, usual makita quality

Brilliant tool for a great price. Was a replacement for my old one that packed up and is brilliant

I bought this to replace my old Makita DTM50Z Multi-tool, which finally stopped working after years of heavy use. The 51Z has a major improvement over the 50Z, which is the tool-less accessory clamp that secures any attachment you put on the machine. With the 50Z, if you put a saw blade on the machine you had to use a hex wrench to secure the blade. Unfortunately, when using the 50Z the vibration would make the saw blade work loose quite quickly, which was extremely annoying. The tool-less accessory clamp on the 51Z is a massive improvement. The only downside with the 51Z over the old 50Z is that the latter had a light that came on in use, whereas the 51Z no longer has a light, doubtless due to the new accessory clamp being in the way. In conclusion, I would definitely recommend the 51Z over the old 50Z - it’s a much better machine.

Solid quality and low vibration, only 4 stars as the blade change handle is heavily sprung which can be tricky to use with freezing fingers.

Nice tool does the job no problem

It’s good - it does what it says on the tin. The tools are a little bit ‘fiddly’ to put on but that’s probably because I’m not used to it yet.

Brilliant a tad heavy but does the job
