Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

Pros

This is the handiest cut out tool i have used. Remember to go counter clockwise during cutting.

This cordless tool is great for plug in, switch, and light box cutouts in your wallboard. Works best with the 5ah batteries because it does tend to be a battery hog. It lasts in a single battery even with a 3. Amp hour battery.

Dust collector shoe makes this an ideal tool for remodel contractor, handyman, or diy who needs to work in an occupied house. Works great for drywall, but also on trim and other wood. Also handy for window and door openings in your wallboard.



Cons

Buy the dewalt. The vibration that it puts out is unbearable. It is also extremely heavy.

    Great tool but beware the box says it will take 18 14 bits but a 14 collet is not included and very difficult to source


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Unlike all of my other makita tools the ergonomics on this one leave much to be desired


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    There is no light once you flip the lever you still have to work the retaining screw loose from the blade there is no narrower space on the tool to grip


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It would be really nice if makita gave this tool an option for a 5 degree swing like my corded version


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    Once again own a few corded and cordless spiral cutting tools and the makita has relegated them to a drawer


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    By the way if people are buying this thinking it is a router it isnt

    Acquire a router for routing tasks and features

    Downfalls are no light nor is it brushless these options would have been a solid 5 stars
