I don't have Makita cordless tools as I use Bosch blue so I can't speak to the performance, but this a reasonable deal for something that RRP's for $279 and Makita is a reputable brand for tools.

Bunnings has the DTM51ZX5 model (practically identical) at so you could attempt to price match, but I've never had much luck at my local store.

    bunnings want match it since the model number is DTM51ZX5 not DTM51Z

      Came to say the exact same

    • There is an actual difference between Z (skin only) and ZX5 (skin + accessories). Not much - two blades, velcro attachment and sanding papers. It really is not a different name for the same tool. ZX5 is generally bit more expensive so there is no chance anyone would pricematch with Z which is usually little bit cheaper.

    They deliberately get manufacturers to make models that only "they" sell to continue their monopoly of the hardware and homeware sales, if there was a decent alternative to Bunnings, I'd use it. But unfortunately they've nearly shut them all down, and I spend a lot of money with them.

      whats wrong with total toosls or sydney tools?

        I'd rather use one of them than feed the big bully. They have bonus point sale events which make them actually cheaper than Bunnings.

        Sorry, I just meant generally and not power tool specific. I buy tools from both of those companies.

        I've got 2 Bosch Blue multi-tools, but after watching reviews I bought the Milwaukee multi-tool. It absolutely kills both Bosch units and blows away the Makita too. They can be bought for around $250 and are money very well spent if you are in the market for a multi-tool.
        Also be careful with overseas imports like this as you may have no local warranty.

          I try to support local stores when I can.

  • These are so versatile. Highly recommended.
    Shame it doesn't come with any accessories like the DeWalt.

  • No chance on the warranty being honoured here in Aus.

    • Yes, the OP should not include the AUS warranty details in the brief, it would not apply if it is an import.

    • Why not? it will register properly on the MyMakita. Its purchased from Amazon Australia via the official Makita Store. I've bought from the Makita store and had it registered on the MyMakita site and it shows it has a 5 year warranty.

      • The Makita store on Amazon AUS has genuine AUS sourced gear as well as Makita imports from other countries. You most likely purchased a model imported & distributed by Makita AUS.

  • The good thing about Makita tools is that you can buy all the spare parts. They even have a policy to keep manufacturing parts for tools that are up to 10 years out of date.
    Having said that, I bought Metabo stuff 20 years ago and I only do odd stuff around the house, so I haven't needed to buy new stuff. Also if you're ever wondering if a tool can be fixed I recommend this youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@deandohertygreaser

  • Can anyone share some experience sanding timnber with this? I have a wooden patio at the back (maybe 25-30 m2 in footprint) that requires a sand back and a varnish every few years. Been hiring people to do it but thought i should learn to DIY.

    Currently the Orbital Sander is also on sale so debating between the two.

    Obviously I wouldn't expect the multitool to perform as well as a proper sander - but seeing that it also doubles as a saw for cutting and I will only need to do the sanding once every few years - perhaps it'll be ok?

    • For 25-30 m2 in footprint, I would be using a sander to do this, not a multi-tool.
