    • Best rotary tool I have ever used
Style: Tool Only
I have very high expectations from Makita, so I went into this being critical. While building my house, I used this thing very hard. Mostly on drywall, but also on trim and other wood. It outperforms the Dewalt and Dremel corded units I used before this one. The foot is easily adjustable and this thing is easy to control. It works best with the 5Ah batteries because it does tend to be a battery hog. Seems like I would change batteries every hour or so if I was using it hard....but the power and speed of this thing is well worth changing the battery. Top notch tool right here!! ... show more

    • Great spiral cutting tool
Style: Tool Only
Once again, own a few corded and cordless spiral cutting tools, and the Makita has relegated them to a drawer. It has a lot of power and just works easily handling everything I have thrown at it, including cutting some materials my other tools struggle at, like thicker chipboard and plywood. Zero complaints other than perhaps the size which was just an adjustment. By the way, if people are buying this thinking it is a router, it isn't. Routers are routers. This is a cut-out too. Totally different head. Acquire a router for routing tasks and features. As a cutting tool, this one does not disappoint this user. ... show more

    • Love this tool
Style: Tool Only
Great drywall cut out tool. Makes life a lot easier when trying to cut out pieces in drywall that’s already been hung. Very easy to use and lasts a long time with the battery.

    • Practice, Practice, Practice
Style: Tool Only
Works fine after you learn to adjust bit depth, but still takes practice to learn to cut correctly. The problem is you are actually cutting blind! I finally measured and cut a hole near the center so I could see where I was at. You also have to pay attention to the bit depth when cutting around receptacle boxes. Just be aware and practice on a piece of scrap sheet rock. OPINION: It is a great tool, nothing else will cut boxes as tight as this tool, but learn to use it. The guys in the videos make it look a lot easier than it really is until you become proficient with it. ... show more

    • I purchased this router to cut out holes in cabinets like outlets and so forth
Style: Tool Only
I’ve now owned this tool for around 8 months. If you have read my other reviews you’ll know I’m a Makita fanatic so that possibly makes me a little favorable of their tools. I purchased this router to cut out holes in cabinets like outlets and so forth. For this purposes it works like a charm. Recently I have used it to cut out can lights and boxes in ship lap we installed on a ceiling, again worked incredibly well. The tool is very light weight even with the battery. The battery being on top side of the tool makes it very well balanced. It has tons of power and has proven to keep battery longevity while using a 5.0 battery. Not to mention not being tied to a cord really speeds up any task it’s used on. I have found however that you really have to just let the tool do it’s job, and pushing to try to cut faster just snaps the bits. We are using off the shelf roto-zip bits brand from Home Depot. I am disappointed however that it only came with one size arbor so I can only use the smaller bits and the bigger heavier duty ones are out the window. I figure most guys will be using this for drywall and so dust management isn’t really a issue, but for what I use it for it would be nice because this bad boy is super messy. Cutting overhead is a awful experience. From what I can tell dust management isn’t even a option for this but I’ve never really seen it on competitors tools that are like this either. The bottom line is this is a great tool for multiple purposes and is a work horse to add to your fleet. Tho lacking dust management and the ability to change to the larger style bits, it may cost you a bit for the smaller bits you’ll be wearing out and snapping more frequently. Would I purchase again...........ABSOLUTLY! Please if you find my review helpful, let Amazon know by clicking the helpful button below. ... show more

    • Absolutely a MUST HAVE for any wallboard hanger!
Style: Tool Only
This tool is a must-have for any wallboard project of any size. Bought this as we are remodeling our office at our growing business. This makes perfect plug in, switch, and light box cutouts in your wallboard with zero guessing and no hack jobs. Also handy for window and door openings in your wallboard, no more jagged, sloppy fits anymore. Best of all- no more tripping over cords- as it was 20 years ago when I hanged and finished wallboard for a living. As anyone who uses rotary tools knows, finding a plug in on a job can be a struggle, as the plugs and switches are always removed from the boxes so you can make perfect cutouts around the boxes. . Battery life is better than I expected even with a 3.0 battery, these cutout tools do pull quite a load. I won't use this but every once in a blue moon, but it already paid for itself in the professional results and removal of frustration on this one job. Money well spent! ... show more

    • Handy tool to have.
Style: Tool Only
Great tool to have. I bought it for future projects but it came in handy for the floor vents when installing vinyl plank flooring in my house. I used the guide bit that came with it. A little slow for that, but it wasn't the tools fault, the bit was meant for sheetrock. I'm sure with a wood or plastic cutting bit it would have been way faster. Great tool, if you don't have one, get one. ... show more
