I'm an emergency mitigation technician and I work with drywall every day. Multi tool is not made for drywall! They work for cutting detailed things like around electrical boxes but if you're doing any significant cutting or working on a lid. 2/4 foot flood cuts. Get the makita.
That’s pretty correct. We love the Makita. It’s clearly not as versatile as the multiple tool but it excels way past it in drywall. Thanks for the comment.
I do mitigation as well, flood cuts etc and am pretty damn good with the multi tool. I can get accurate depth and can move pretty quickly... but not going to lie that makita looks very handy, and will probably be picking one up!
Great Video gonna get the makita for a renovation and restoration 18th century house I'm doing not a straight cut or square cut anywhere. have been using a multi tool defiantly will be ordering makita and your right on the dewalt multi tool its the smoothest
Own the dewalt but wish they made the Makita style too. Looks like Im going to have to get the makita and a battery adaptor. Love the dust collection its worth it for that alone. How good is it hooked to Vac?
I forgot to mention why we switched to a Festool container. The latches on the Makita are extremely stiff and since we already had Festool systainers we switched to that.
Chris Cusack So our original intentions were to attach the Makita to our vacuums. However after running it we realized that the hood on the front the Makita captures quite a bit of the dust especially when using on ceilings . Now to your question. The hose will fit but it is quite burdensome and pulls you off course from what we’ve experienced using them. I’ve considered purchasing a backpack vacuum for this reason but we haven’t yet. Hope this helps.
Love this channel man. U guys need more attention.Really cool dynamic and good vibes. I was looking for more info on this tool and glad u guys popped up. Maybe one day you guys could do that top 10 tools video. Wishing you good favor and success in 2024!
Thanks for the video guys, I think a drywall cutout tool would have been a more useful comparison against the Makita saw. I didn't know the Dewalt mulitool had that quick blade change, I might have to trade my Milwaukee in for one since I use both platforms. You can dial in the depth on a cutout tool as well, but that V on the base of the Makita saw is probably easier to cut a straight line, especially with a laser level. I really think you need both, the cutout tool cuts perfect lines around studs, and electrical boxes, and the Makita saw is good for just free-style cutting, and laser level cutting. For cutting out sections of drywall I prefer not cutting down the center of a stud and run the risk of damaging those expensive blades, I think I would use the Makita saw for the long cuts up to the stud, then the cutout tool along the studs to finish the cuts, then double up another 2x4 a little larger than the hole, on each end against the stud to secure the new section of drywall.
Having owned the Makita for several years now I can say it’s what we grab for any cut that needs to be straight or overhead. I understand your thinking of multi verses cutout tool and to be honest I assumed the cutout tool was a necessary tool to have and that’s why it wasn’t included in the test. Great points, appreciated your comment.
@@campbellbuilt Thanks for your response Darian, can you cut straight lines with a cutout tool? And can you set the depth on a non-guidepoint bit to just barelycut the drywall? I really don't have much experience with it, and I'm trying to decide if I can just stay with cutout tool or should I also get the Makita Saw.
Maybe get a Fein blade especially long life blades or even the universal ones, I've used the universal Dremel and it's not as good as the Fein and they are both similar prices, I've gone through both blades enough to see which lasts longer and I prefer Fein and diablo multi-tool blades more than Dremel. Don't think the Dremel universal is bad but it's not the best
Total newbie amateur DIY'er here, but I've been using the fein multimaster with great results on drywall (and lots of other stuff too). Once you learn how to handle it, the multitools are awesome. I have a depth gauge attachment for mine that makes it even faster for drywall, similar to the makita drywall saw. The rounded blades seem are a little better for cuts that are over 6" or so in my opinion, while the straight ones work perfectly to cut out electrical boxes etc. Cutting down full sheets I might consider the makita, but it could certainly be done without it. If you have to choose between a multitool or dedicated drywall saw I recommend the multitool for its versatility, as opposed to the drywall saw which is exactly what its name suggests and nothing more.
Apples and oranges! If all you do is fit drywall all day….a DEDICATED drywall cutter is obviously your need. However with the Dewalt ( or any osc multi tool) you can switch from the drywall sheet to cutting a 2x4 wood beam, laminate flooring or plastic sheet or sanding and with the right blade it will flush cut nails. It is what is says…a multi-tool and saves carrying extra tools around on site. Just watch that dust huh!
Your totally correct. If we could only have one it would be the multi tool. This Makita is aimed at remodelers where having a controlled depth of cut in drywall is a must. Makita markets it for cutting wood paneling and such but I think that’s reaching. There’s no worrying about hitting that line beneath drywall with this tool though. Appreciate the comment.
Great review. Interesting product but I think I'll stick with a good old fashioned razor knife. Fits in pocket doesn't need to be charged. Just as fast.
You would not be able to cut holes in plasterboard which has already been installed as fast as this could. Cutting plasterboard to size pre installation, knife is definitely quicker, but this is more aimed at creating openings in ceilings and walls.
@@joes2318 rotozip for 98% of holes needed, already carry that daily. The other 2% score with knife karate kick out. Boss hasn't been paying on time recently got some anger issues. Also i just use a jig saw if your concerned about the depth of the blade break it in half. One less tool I have to carry around and some extra money in my bank account for the doctor visit when I karate kick a stud by accident. Its a cool tool (makita) but some tools are just really good at taking your money.
@@Mike-qo8nm one of the main features of this tool is the almost 100% dust collection. When working in someone’s house this is what you’d buy this tool for. I’m about to put 3 big skylights in someone’s kitchen and I’m definitely considering buying one of these to mitigate the dust created.
this is an apples and oranges comparison. Multitool has no dust collection and was not designed for this specific messy and accuracy-needed purpose. Just think how many times the multitool veered offtrack or bounced around when passing over a stud or controlling depth, etc. You can hold a vac in one had and rely one the other to hold the multitool and precicely guide it if you are that talented, but why.
This video maybe a little confusing to some that don’t follow drywall Facebook pages and Forums. It’s been said on those sites that a multi tool (pick and brand) is just as capable of drywall work as the dedicated Makita drywall saw is. We want the end user to make up their own mind. Makita style saw can do something’s far better such as dust collection but a traditional multi tool excels in other areas better than the Makita. Typical on these sites people will make comments toward the Makita Drywall Saw having not ran run. I’ve yet to meet a person that’s operated the Makita that didn’t love it. Both are awesome tools and we will not part with either. Thanks Man

i have both and hands down the makita is the way to go. smooth cutting and you can control the depth much easier...
Love this review. Thank you guys.
Thanks for watching!
The makita looks perfect for asbestos and mold applications
Great Video gonna get the makita for a renovation and restoration 18th century house I'm doing not a straight cut or square cut anywhere. have been using a multi tool defiantly will be ordering makita and your right on the dewalt multi tool its the smoothest
You will love it. Thanks for the comment.
1:27 should the blade in oscillating tools be changed to half-circle type?
Own the dewalt but wish they made the Makita style too. Looks like Im going to have to get the makita and a battery adaptor. Love the dust collection its worth it for that alone. How good is it hooked to Vac?
That is cool how you change cutter on Dewalt
I forgot to mention why we switched to a Festool container. The latches on the Makita are extremely stiff and since we already had Festool systainers we switched to that.
Have you found a good way to connect to a festool vac?

I like the case

I have actually been thinking of a tool video like that. Keep an eye out for that video in the future.
I use a rotorzip with no guide points but for no dust I tape the fan blower to stop wind 💨
We used a RotoZip for quite awhile. Good tool.

If you need to run electrical or plumbing on a remodel with the makita just run a straight cut with it across the walls
Been doing drywall for 40 plus years, would use either for everyday use......
Maybe get a Fein blade especially long life blades or even the universal ones, I've used the universal Dremel and it's not as good as the Fein and they are both similar prices, I've gone through both blades enough to see which lasts longer and I prefer Fein and diablo multi-tool blades more than Dremel.

Why didn't you run the dewalt with a drywall blade?
How does the Makita blade handle hitting screws?
It will take a few teeth off but keeps cutting just fine.
U need them both...both really works
We agree with you. Both are needed.
Could the Makita cut 400mm diameter holes?
With ease.
Use a half moon blade on the dewalt for long straight cuts
We have used a ton of those half-moon blades. They’re pretty good choice.
a rounded multi tool blade would be a lot better compression
No prices?
Prices change so I’m careful of sharing them

Multi tool + Imperial Blade drywall and I win 🥇 For demo of drywall.
Multi tool is the best all around demo tool for sure if these two.
this is an apples and oranges comparison. Multitool has no dust collection and was not designed for this specific messy and accuracy-needed purpose.

Very well said
Can't compare apples to apples with the makita because makita is the only apple out there.
Your comparing two different tools. Dewalt has a drywall tool. The multi tool is used for many applications. The teal one is used for just drywall.
