The conversation with the wife is classic as it takes the form of every conversation a man has brought to his wife to try and justify spending money on another tool. 🤣🤣🤣

As soon as me and the work mates turned on that new Makita multitool we all looked at each other and couldn't believe how quiet it is. I upgraded straight away. Did a comparison of decibels between the old and new and there is 10db different which is a lot. Great video Scott!

The whole time watching this, I thought that pin is just an added unnecessary extra, and easily lost . You proved me right at the end. I really like dewalts clip on system.

You talking to Jess while having lunch killed me😂

I’m an apprentice electrician and I just had a DTM52 sent out from Mitre10 during the lockdown. Already used it for some home DIY while I’m stuck at home. But as a sparky I can already tell this is going to be a game changer. Also great to see some local content on the Tube. (Also from Auckland) 🤙

I bought a Fein brand multi tools and man that the best one I’ve used so far, never used the makita and/or festool! The Fein is awesome it has a great sanding attachment and decent dust collection!!

[sruss]

This was absolutely priceless! Thanks to you and Jess for making life in lockdown much more informative and entertaining. Greetings from Karaka.

I also am in the Makita system, but I held off on their multi-tool. I may rethink that now... and may also consider getting an extra pin to tape to the inside of my toolbox lid. :) Many thanks.

Jess needs a channel - that burger looked so delicious!!!

I had this multitool for not even two weeks when something in the pin locking mechanism snapped off and made the tool unusable, i took it apart to see that the part was designed nowhere near as strong as it should have been considering the torque put on the part with the leaver which im guessing is what made mine give out. I sent it to makita to repair and ive been told that so many people have already been having the same problem so makita are having to redesign the part itself. And I can confirm the larger head does get in the way at times unlike others like the feintool that i had been using previously

Just got this in Canada and I absolutely love it over the old one. I love the fact like you said about the 3 Starlock types. It's a great idea, the vibration control is great too

[obeddiaz]

The same happen to me when I explain woodworking things to my wife. Really nice explanation, I wish I had multitools available in my country.

[IvanR]

I have also the Bosch one and I figured out that you just need to widen the hole with a dremel and the STARLOCK MAX blades will fit in the PLUS one 😁. cheers from Austria

[RPmusic]

Fun fact about the new makita multitool, the motor is in a housing inside the tool, the housing has springs around it and that is why it vibrates less and also that is a reason why it makes less noise. Bte nice video Scott always love it bud!!!!👌👌

[morfitts]

dewalt system seems so much easier to use I've had mine 2 years and never had a problem and got me out of alot of hard work

[kmclaren]

Losing the pin was back of my mind through the whole video. I feel like Makita missed the chance to include a second hole or a magnet for storing the pin during blade changes.

You could test the concept, use hot glue or something else temporary to put a strong magnet somewhere on the tool. New blade change order of operations would be: pull pin, store pin on magnet, change blade, reinsert pin.

If it works, drill a hole into the plastic body and epoxy a magnet, so it is flush and permanent.

Awesome to have Jess (I think), a non tool user, to help with the video. She provided some comic relief and obvious question insight. LOL

[lilbrowny]

"I'm glad you asked". Wish my missus had as much patience as Jess when I talk about tools :')

[daveperkins]

The Dewalt quick release mechanism on their multi tool is awesome.

Great review as usual. 👍👍

[Camelotsmoon]

Lol, I love your wife. Probably has no interest herself in any of the discussion, but she looks genuinly happy to just be talking to you about it and listening. The relationship I dream to have with someone where you both have different interests but are just genuinly interested in listening about the other explaining about it because of the love there.
