Review: FAB!! - Having bought a Makita cordless drill and impact driver earlier in the year, I was captured by the interchangability (is that a word??) of the battery packs - buy the body of the tool and use the same battery that you have for other items! Result! If you are wondering whether you need one of these tools - check out some of the Youtube videos. All those jobs where you can't quite reach with the hacksaw...pipes under the bath, little bits of timber that need trimming, a hole needs cutting into plasterboard, grout that needs removing, architrave that needs trimming because you're fitting laminate floor....this gizmo answers your prayers. If you are like me - quite enjoy the odd bit of DIY but often refrain from doing so because you don't have the right kit and consequently end up in a nuclear meltdown when things aren't going as they should, then this tool is for you. I've had it for a month and it's paid for itself (in saving my sanity) by just being there to finish jobs off - cutting a small section out of MDF that my jigsaw would make a mess of, for example. And of course, it's Makita. If you've ever owned any Makita gear, you'll know that they're not just good - they're THE BEST! Quality central. And this baby is no different. It feels good, weight is just right - balances well in your hand with the battery on. It has a small LED at the front to light up the work area - very handy when you're in a cupboard or dark corner. It oscillates at some ridiculously fast rate - controlled by a rotary switch towards the rear, so you can go from slow to very, very fast very quickly. It's a great addition to my toolbox and reassuring to know that I have a piece of kit that does all those 'tricky' jobs - for example, I have some 22mm copper pipe running up a wall and I was going to buy a pipe slice to cut it - now I don't need to! This little fella will do it for me! Huzzah! There is another version (slightly newer) that has a 'quick release' mechanism for the blades. I would think this would be very helpful if you were a tradesman and time was money. Changing blades on this model is via a hex key, stored near the battery, and to change from one to another would take about 30 seconds. This suits me - and the money saving it gives too. I love this tool. Oo-er. Buy with confidence. Review: Very pleased! - Great tool! Pros: - Well built, as you'd expect from Makita. - Cuts really well, even with the cheap blades I have. (Hilka set for £13) - Slightly more oscillation movement than many other similar tools as far as I know. 3.2 degrees rather than 2.8 or 3 on many others. - Can be surprisingly quite when used at lower speeds, between 1 and 3 is not bad, especially for sanding and similar jobs. Although of course makes a bit more noise once you start cutting. Between 3-6 (maximum speed) it's still less than all other 18v ones as far as I know, although gets fairly loud. At high speeds I'd certainly use ear protection. At minimum speed with no material contact I measured about 65db from about 1ft away. Similar to a large room fan. At maximum speed while cutting soft wood with a wide blade I measured about 105db which is a lot. (Disclaimer: For safety please check the user manual.) - As far as I know this also has the least hand vibration compared to other 18v oscillating tools (Disclaimer: For safety please check the user manual.) I think this actually vibrates less than my cheap rotary tool, although of course when starting to cut material the vibration increases a bit. I hate vibrating tools but this wasn't bad at all for me. - Has a nice LED light at the front. This is why I chose this older model. Also there was about a £40 price difference which for me is worth it, as I can spend that on batteries or blades. I saw a cutting video on Youtube comparing the two, the noise seemed to be the same and the cutting speed seemed to be the same. This slightly older version is slimmer which is nice, and it has no quick release for the blades, which is perfectly fine for me. I have no problem with an extra 25 seconds to change the blade. A large hex key clips into the bottom of the unit and is easy to remove from its clip when needed. - Has an optional dust extractor accessory that costs about £12 if I'm not mistaken. I have Bosch 18v batteries, but the bosch multi tool is louder, it can't stand upright which is important for my small home-workshop, and costs double (Approx £160 vs £80) so for that price difference I had no problem just buying some Makita batteries. Two genuine ones are about £77 on desertcart right now, but I decided to save a bit with a non-original. I'm using a "Masione" 3Ah that cost £20 and it's working just fine so far. Cons: - Even though it's supposed to be the quietest option, it's still lot of noise. Certainly much more than an 18v jigsaw. Not a problem for a workshop (use ear protection obviously) but for my small studio with a cat it's too loud at high speeds when cutting. Not an actual issue with the tool but worth mentioning. My rotary tool is a bit quieter at maximum speed, but doesn't do all the same jobs, and also throws a lot of dust and sparks everywhere, compared to this which is slightly more clean, although still creates dust obviously. So for those times I want to work on small projects with a bit more quiet, I'll just have to build myself a noise isolating "glove box" which is also really nice for not getting dust everywhere. -No quick release for the blades. Not a problem for me. Conclusion: Extremely pleased with the tool, but for some of my uses I will need to make a box with a window to dampen the noise. It won't sand as well as a dedicated sander, and it won't cut as well as a jigsaw, etc. - But it's great for making small cuts, working in areas where other cutting tools won't fit, etc. I would say it's a great addition, but not something to replace all others. ## Features - Thumb on/Off switch - Anti-restart function - Hex wrench holder on body - Uses OIS interface - 1 year manufacturer warranty with a further 2 years when registered within 30 days of purchase. This guarantee does not apply where non-genuine or recommended parts or accessories are fitted to the tool. The use of non-genuine or compatible batteries and charger with Makita Tools will invalidate the Makita guarantee for our tools. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B00JXHQ6SG | | Brand | Makita | | Colour | Turquoise | | Country of Origin | China | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (1,933) | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00088381666022, 04002829853962 | | Included Components | 1 x Hex wrench, 1 x Makita DTM50Z | | Item Dimensions | 29.7 x 11 x 9.8 centimetres | | Item Type Name | 18V Li-Ion Cordless Oscillating Multicutter (Body Only) | | Item Weight | 3.09 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Makita | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | 1 year makita warranty with further 2 when registered. | | Material | Metal, Plastic | | Model Number | DTM50Z | | Number of Pieces | 1 | | Part Number | DTM50Z | | UPC | 088381666022 | | Unit Count | 10.0 count | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Makita - **Colour:** Turquoise - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 29.7 x 11 x 9.8 centimetres - **Item weight:** 3.09 Pounds - **Material:** Metal, Plastic ## Images ![DTM50Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Multi-Tool - Batteries and Charger Not Included - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51UsT0I-AVL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: Is this the z model (toolless blade change!) or the older version?

As you probably know all the LXT are compatible with the same batteries and the genuine ones work very well. This tool by nature does require a fair amount of current so I would suggest a 4 or 5 amp hour battery for use with it. If, like me, you are using these tools on a daily basis this is a very good addition to your tool kit and you will find that it is rarely out of your hand when fitting bathrooms/kitchens/windows etc. The multitool is a versitler piece of kit and the blades are easy to change. Strongly recommend for joiners of all types and very good for lots of hobby applications also. ## Frequently Bought Together - Makita DTM50Z 18V Li-Ion LXT Multi-Tool - Batteries and Charger Not Included - PECHAM 24PCS Oscillating tool Accessories Universal Wood Metal Oscillating Multitool Quick Release Tool Kits Fit Fein Multimaster, Ryobi, Milwaukee, Bosch, Dremel, Dewalt, Rockwell, Makita More - XXGO 120 Pcs Oscillating Multitool Blades Accessories Kits Compatible with Bosch, Chicago, Craftsman, Dewalt, Harbor Freight,Milwaukee, Porter Cable, Ridgid, Ryobi, Rockwell XG1201U --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/47951765-dtm50z-18v-li-ion-lxt-multi-tool-batteries-and-charger](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/47951765-dtm50z-18v-li-ion-lxt-multi-tool-batteries-and-charger) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
