Trades of all kinds are turning to oscillating multi-tools for a full range of applications and the Makita Multi-Tool combines power and performance with comfort and convenience features like reduced vibration and lower noise. The multi-tool is ideal for cutting, sanding, scraping, tile replacement, grout removal and more. The tool is powered by a 3.0 Amp motor with soft start for smooth start-ups. The variable speed control dial (6000 - 20,000 OPM) enables the user to match the speed to the application and the electronic speed control maintains constant speed under load for smoother, higher-quality work.
