I have the 18V version and love it. I have had about 5 different breed multitools over the years from electric to battery. Currently have Makita and Dewalt. The Makita is more refined, less vibration and noise making it easier and more comfortable to use. The Dewalt has a mullet and drinks full strength beer. Vibrates your hand off and noisy. Don't bother with the Starlock, just can't afford the blades. There is no such thing as a cheap starlock blade. So I run mine converted to OIS blades. These you can buy expensive, medium or cheap. The cheap ones usually fall apart so avoid them. But the mediums do everything I want at a fraction of the price of starlock. The 18V Makita is by far the best multitool I have ever had. Quite chunky yet really nice to use.
@@scottkronmiller3746 If you watch a much earlier video on this channel Tools showed a home made adaptor that did the job. After I saw that I went online and found a company in Holland making a professional adaptor. They were great to deal with, so I ordered one. Posted from Holland to Australia in pretty short time. Been using it ever since. Great bit of kit. Saved me a fortune on overpriced starlock blades.
Starlock blades are more expensive, but are usually higher quality than cheaper blades and can cut deeper than non-starlock (blades can be made much longer). I get wanting to reduce cost when the advantages are not needed. Often times pricier blades are cheaper in use because they have a longer life. For example, carbide vs just bimetal- I tend to buy mostly carbide blades now.
@@ccbowers I have used all sorts of star lock blades. They don't like Aussie hard wood. And apart from the long cuts haven't found much benefit. I bulk buy the cheaper blades so they cost next to nothing. For one star lock I can buy 20 blades. Use and abuse.
@@davetaylor4741 Unless your hardwood is made of hardened steel, carbide tipped blade will cut hardwood from any continent. But if you've found nice inexpensive blades that save money, then of course use those. What is the brand you use?
@@Mushroomhaus0001 I’m same , Im after about 3 years still loving my little m12 fuel I have no real want for the xgt40 although some of my favourite tools are my XGT 40’s
I wanted the M12 multi but I'm glad I got the M18 Gen3 version, its an animal, although I did have to send it back in for a new brain box and they put a new clam shell on it too. But that was after 2 years of some pretty solid abuse
I, for one, am happy they have made the same multitool. There are plenty who are used to that one (i dont have rhe 18v starlock yet) and, like the reverse case with the dust blower, there is no fear of missing out of the different battery version when they are virtually identical. The next generation 18v and 40v that clicks in like the newest bosch and fein versions similar to the x lock grinders will likely come out the same time, whenever they do. I want the 18v Starlock so bad, but its all black in my country whixh im not keen on. I still have the brushed OIS model for when i have tons of those blades on a jobsite.
@ToolsAndStuffOFFICIAL next vid I want a 2001: A Space Odyssey parody where you club some of your mates and then freak out when a giant Makita tool appears out of nowhere.
An amazing multi tool and really doesn't bother me with the pin but just today I've had to email makita as my blade locking mechanism has failed for the 6th time in 3 years. Looking at the part numbers they've changed the crank assembly on the new ones. Likely just for the different motor but hopefully also solving this issue, it would be incredibly hard to judge that without stripping it and comparing. Also the crank assembly parts are separate rather than a single £100 unit to replace now With the top of the clam off the locking mechanism works fine using an allen key to turn it but the minute the clams shut the lugs that meet and turn the crank from the lever just slip and won't lock the blade in place.
The only time I have seen a gigantic hand held circular saw used, they were building a Medieval Trebuchet. That was very clearly a mains powered tool cutting 8 inches thick from both sides of a beam (it must have been close to 3Kw in power).
I was hanging for the XGT multi but when the LXT multi went on promo with a free battery and charger I took advantage. I try to buy XGT but I've got too many LXT's to switch. In fact I'm currently trying to exit all Dewalts but the framing nailer is holding up the bus! Plus Dewalt batteries run Arbortech and Graco so its hard to leave.
So there was no reason for it taking so long to arrive! Does anyone know if the high output 2.5 batteries (the ones with the tabless cells)are going to be released?
I’m sure it’s the best of multi tools, I’d rate it on par or better than Fein . I know they are super smooth and quiet , I love all my Makita 40 volt gear but one of my favourite tools is my Milwaukee 12 volt multi tool It’s just so dam nice to use, Slim handle , tiny body , a little pocket rocket ! I never use my hitachi 18 volt brushless multi tool , it’s been abandoned for a few years now as it’s too bulky, Makita is even bulkier . I think I’ll stick with m12 on this one As you might have worked out , I run a lot of brands , I just love the best brand on offer for each tool. I don’t have every brand though lol
I have the m18 fuel multi tool and have been waiting for this to release, I don't use it too often but of course when you need it you're glad to have it. So in your opinion the m12 fuel definitely packs enough punch? I might change my mind and go for that instead, since I basically only use it for odds and ends and wouldn't mind switching up less vibration for a decent drop in weight instead.
@@ericmann1781 you will love the 40volt , my mate who has the m18 fuel multi tool loves his ex apprentice’s 18 volt makita same Version of this 40v multi tool , I have another mate who is in love with his 18 v makita same . I might get one just for sake of it lol but I’ll always reach for the m12 for its size I am sure .
Bugger .. that's nice. I've got Fein, Festool, Dewalt and Dremel multitools and only the Dewalt and Dremel (more of a toy the Dremel!) are cordless. The XGT Multi is going on the shipping list ;)
Another awesome video, loved the intro!!! Just to clear something up there is a crazy bastard who makes adhaptors from star lock to ois blades 🤪🤪 just saying!!, other things of note 🤔,love the new switch and are you going to take it to bits??? 🤟🤟
Also different attachments- for different jobs, im not a pro, so any help, on how to use this tool bar cutting wood and nails would be helpful thanks pal
No many youtubers show what different attachments do and how the tool is properly used. This can be a huge help for a intermediate person such as myself 😂
Typically makita. Thus i am asking you. You helped me buy the drill and impact, hand saw and another tool i dont know the name too. Havent bought the mower yet, my cheap 300 buck mower from china is still working haha. I need a router and this multi tool next. Thats the plan. Thanks 🙏
Nice, now I can buy the last tool I need for renovating my house without buying another battery system or corded. Now me, can I get an adapter which lets me use the tool corded when I work over h on the same place 😂
@@robertdascoli949 although I don’t need star lock I tend to use Diablo star lock on my m12 These blades respond well to sharpening . It takes a little practice but I use a nice not worn out diamond masonry blade on my 125 mm XGT grinder, I hold the multi tool with blade still attached, and at 45 degrees dab the grinder in at teeth type spaces and shape teeth freehand. It’s amazing and it cuts like a Trojan . I get about 4 sharpens minimum out of each blade . Cheap blades are much lesser success but still works but not as amazing as Diablo star lock when it comes to sharpening. I’ve done it for other guys as they look curiously at me doing mine , they get excited
Its the same with every multi tool. I find my Milwaukee has such an aggressive sweep it has a habit of breaking the spot welds on some blades, and it will eat carbide blades if you wail on it too hard
I hope that makita make a 40v version of their drill driver DDF083 as that is great for use as a screwdriver, don't want to have 2 battery platforms. P.S i contacted makita uk, they said that they have no plans to sell the BL4040F battery in the uk for some reason. It is annoying that you didn't test the multitool with that battery as it uses tabless cells, might possibly have been faster at cutting.
Wow that’s disappointing but not surprising. The 40 volt concrete drill jackhammer setting not worth being there I wish makita would add some power for the 40 volt tools.
Why does no one want Starlock? Even other brands under the Robert Bosch company like Diablo or Dremel won't even adopt Starlock. Milwaukee decided to stick with OIS on their latest OMTs and I think it was a mistake. They claim OIS is able to do the same work as Starlock but OIS lacks the same feature set as Starlock. You don't get the option of auto-attach and auto-ejection (depending on the model) like you do with Starlock. Also as explained in the video no shearing of pins and the blades that are flat. I don't think widespread adoption of Starlock will happen if Milwaukee refuses to adopt. My only local options where I live is Milwaukee and most smaller towns would also be either DeWALT and/or Milwaukee. Outside of a city it is hard to find any other brand in person.
I have 12v makita one. It sucks because it melts battery plastic connectors. Wish they bring a new 12v and with a new 5ah battery, it should work well.
The only problem with 40v tools is they never iron out or change things that wasn’t the best design on the lxt lineup! Like the plunge saw should of copied festool for the depth gauge, and now on the multi tool the stupid pin feature
So disappointing... this is the only tool I've ever had to send in for warranty work (4 times) and they didn't change anything. Blade mechanism is trash and it's the size of a cinder block. When it works it's alright but damn.
Quite disappointed. I hated the 18v starlock. Its so chunky and cumbersome. Its also very underpowered. Ive been using the Milwaukee m12 and m18 ones, they are excellent. They have much more power and are much more compact. I use primarily Makita but Milwaukee make a better multi tool
The intro meant to be a kind of nightmare/spooky vibe of Makita didn’t innovate to make a better performing tool and the stagnation period is approaching?
So they wired the batteries slightly differently so they get 40V instead of 20V. Why would they do that. Because they make all their money selling battery packs at about 10x what they should cost. People should buy a spot welder and make their own battery packs so they never have to give another dime to a company trying to rip off their customers.
40 volts runs cooler and should extend battery life a bit by not wasting energy as heat. Most of the tools in40 v have a bit of an improvement, but not enough where I live to make me jump ship. The next gen 40v will be really nice as they iron out the problems. But I don't know if I want to wait 5 more years.
From electrical engineering point will tell you is easier to play with voltage than current. That's why 40v tools are more efficient if comes to speed control or torque.
@@jacuzzi7 I suppose they can get away with wiring and such that is thinner and cheaper by using higher voltages... In the end though they are merely trying to get you to buy more batteries. Like HP does with their ink.
As much as I like Makita they’re falling behind to companies like Milwaukee. They still don’t have a framing nail gun and the two separate battery platform for the same tools is a joke. Dewalt tried the same thing with their sixty volt line and they almost went bankrupt. Wake up Makita.
Not really. Makitas nail gun would be relased very soon and some of Makita tools are more powerful and ergonomic than Milwsukee. Some of Milwaukee are more powerful but I have noticed few times carpenters were using Metabo cir. saw even when Milwaukee or Makita were around. Weight and ergonomics are very important. Pneumatic nailers are hard to beat. You are getting portability with cordless but you getting extra weight. Each type of tool has a place.
all wrong. they are not falling behind, they are ahead in many aspects. milwaukee is feeling the consequences of sticking with same 18v system for high power tools, makita was smarter. Also it is not a joke, with milwaukee you still need to have smaller and larger batteries so what is the difference? you have one charger? you can do the same with makita with a small adapter. also they do have a framing nailer coming really soon and it is better than the red one.
I hope it lasts longer than their 18v ones for that money!!!!! The multi tool is by far the worst tool that makita do, the 18v ones dont last longer than 18 months. i have 18v makita tools that are 10 years+ old and love makita for that over dewalt. But in this case Dewalt has them beat

I thought it was nailers? lol. In any case this tool is a market leader and best in many aspects.
Nobody cares MAKITA is ages behind, jump on the Milwaukee wagon they are actually doing what their customers want
Milwaukee is still on 18v 😂
...and breaking 😅
@@durrtymikeshow and still putting out more power then MAKITA 😂
