Trades of all kinds are turning to oscillating multi-tools for cutting, sanding, scraping and grout removal applications. Makita has delivered a more compact solution with the 12-Volt MAX CXT Lithium-Ion Cordless Multi-Tool (model MT01Z, tool only, batteries and charger sold separately). The MT01Z combines performance and superior ergonomics in a more compact size and is ideal for work in tight spaces. The MT01Z has a variable speed control dial that enables the user to adjust the oscillations per minute (OPM) from 6,000 to 20,000. The 3.2° oscillation angle is engineered for faster cutting and more aggressive sanding. For added convenience, the built-in LED light at the tip of the tool illuminates the work area and the small barrel grip is designed for easy handling. The adapter will fit most competitor’s accessories. For longer run time, 12-Volt MAX CXT cordless tools are also compatible with the 12-Volt MAX CXT Lithium-Ion 4.0Ah battery (BL1041B). 12-Volt MAX CXT Lithium-Ion batteries are engineered with a Battery Protection Circuit that protects against overloading, over-discharging and over-heating.

This makita 12v multi tool is great.It is compact compared to the 18v multi tools, has enough power to go through nails. I am very surprised on how handy and how much power this little guy cuts. I really don’t have any cons for this tool at the moment.

I needed the device to cut subfloor too close to the wall to use a saw. I was concerned that it will not have enough powers, but it worked beautifully. The only downside is the short battery life.

This tool gets into places no other tool can. The 12v is much lighter and quieter then the 18v.

I have been blown away by the CXT line of tools from Makita. I use this tool almost everyday with out a single flaw. It is a versatile tool that is used in many applications during a remodel. From cutting quick holes in drywall, undercutting doorways, cutting out wood rot, cutting out siding for repairs… I love this tool!
