I was hoping it would have a little more power than it does. The 4.0 battery I use didn’t last as long as I had hoped.

Powerful drill, stops on a dime, and very long life batteries. I used this kit to build a tree house and it worked fantastic.

Variable speed, it can’t get any better and cheaper than that in polishing granite.

This is one of those tools that I long looked at but couldn’t quite figure out how I would use it (or justify its purchase). Since have purchased it, it has become essential! Granted, I am in the middle of a home remodel, but I can’t begin to tell you how many times I puzzled over how to cut something (piece of trim would in an awkward position, cut a nail, etc), only to realize I have my multi-tool! This thing is solid in the hand (meaning heavy and robust feeling) and more importantly, powerful. Uses tons of blades and I love the rapid release mechanism and multiple blade speeds. Also comes with some adapters for blades that dont fit the tool (although I havent run across any that dont). Easy to use, not overly large, but clearly well made. I love it and wish I had one long ago. I use it to cut wall board, cut back installed trim (during demo) flush cut wood corners, clean grout lines of recently laid tile…fix mistakes, the list goes on. Next to my cordless drill, this is my other essential tool. I picked the Makita because I have several other Makita tools (so have the battery system), but in general I am loyal to Makita – they have always done well for/by me. I’m not a professional, just a DIY who enjoys remodeling and doing projects around the home.

Terrific product which I have used for over 10 years.

These batteries are the best: I’m a self employed carpenter and I haven’t seen better running life than the Makita batteries.

I’ve been using Makita tools for years and bought this as a gift for my son to get him started on the Makita platform.I use this particular saw and believe it’s one of the best 18V saws available.
