Description
Makita DTM51Z 18V LXT Cordless Multi Tool Body Only
The Makita DTM51Z 18V LXT Cordless Multi Tool Body Only is a highly versatile oscillating multi-tool designed to tackle a wide variety of cutting, sanding, scraping, grout removal, and renovation tasks with precision and ease. Powered by Makita's trusted 18V LXT lithium-ion battery platform (battery and charger sold separately), this compact yet powerful tool is an essential addition to any professional tradesperson's or serious DIY enthusiast's toolkit.
Whether you're installing flooring, trimming door frames, cutting plasterboard, removing old sealant, or sanding awkward corners, the DTM51Z offers exceptional control, reliability, and performance. Its variable speed control, tool-less accessory changes, and ergonomic design make it suitable for extended use in demanding environments.
Powerful Cordless Performance
The DTM51Z is driven by Makita's proven 18V LXT battery system, delivering consistent power without the inconvenience of cords. Its high-performance motor produces an oscillation angle of 3.2° (1.6° left/right), allowing fast material removal while maintaining excellent precision across a wide range of applications.
The cordless design provides complete freedom of movement, making it ideal for site work, maintenance, refurbishment projects, and installations where mains power may not be readily available.
Variable Speed for Maximum Control
Featuring a variable speed dial ranging from 6,000 to 20,000 oscillations per minute (OPM), the DTM51Z allows users to match the tool's speed to the material and application.
Lower speeds are ideal for delicate sanding and precision work, while higher speeds provide rapid cutting through timber, plastics, drywall, and non-ferrous metals.
The soft start function gradually increases speed during start-up, improving control while reducing movement on the workpiece.
Tool-Free Blade & Accessory Changes
Makita's convenient tool-less accessory clamp system enables quick and simple blade or sanding pad changes without the need for additional tools. This significantly reduces downtime between tasks and allows users to switch accessories quickly when working through multiple applications.
The universal accessory interface accepts a wide range of compatible oscillating blades and sanding accessories, making the DTM51Z suitable for numerous professional applications.
Ergonomic Design for Comfort
Designed with user comfort in mind, the DTM51Z features a slim, rubberised soft-grip body that provides excellent control during prolonged use. Its compact dimensions allow easy access into confined spaces while reducing user fatigue.
The conveniently positioned on/off slide switch enables comfortable one-handed operation, while the balanced weight distribution helps improve accuracy during precision work.
Integrated LED Work Light
A built-in LED job light illuminates the cutting area, improving visibility when working in dark spaces, cupboards, roof voids, under sinks, or poorly lit rooms. This allows for more accurate cuts and improved overall productivity.
