Does the XMT03Z come with a battery and charger?

No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Makita 18V battery and charger, sold separately.

With the right blade it cuts wood, drywall, plastic and thin metal, and it also sands, scrapes and removes grout.

Does it accept other brands' accessories?

Makita includes adapters so most competitive oscillating blades and pads fit.

How is it different from the XMT04?

The XMT04 adds a tool-free blade change and a starlock-style interface; the XMT03Z uses a wrench and adapter system.

Can I control the speed while cutting?

Yes. The dial sets 6,000 to 20,000 OPM, and the slide switch has a lock-on button for long runs.

What reviewers say

Owners generally rate the XMT03Z well for its smooth, controllable speed and low vibration. Many praise how it handles flush cuts and detail sanding. The most common complaints are the bare-tool packaging and the slower blade changes.

What people mention

Speed controlPraisedOwners like dialing the oscillation down for delicate cuts and up for fast removal.
VibrationPraisedReviewers say it runs smoother and quieter than older multi-tools they have used.
BatteryMixedThe warning light and auto-stop are liked, but buyers note the tool ships without a battery or charger.
Blade changesCriticisedSwapping accessories requires a hex wrench, which slows down jobs with several blades.
WeightMixedThe compact grip is praised, but some find it heavy for long overhead sanding.

About the Makita XMT03Z Cordless Multi-Tool, 18 Volts

The Makita XMT03Z is a cordless oscillating multi-tool that runs on 18 volts. It is sold as a tool only. The battery and charger are sold separately. It works with Makita 18V Lithium-Ion batteries marked with a Star symbol.

A dial sets the speed from 6,000 to 20,000 oscillations per minute, so the speed can be matched to the job. A soft start feature gives a smooth start-up. A large slide switch turns the tool on and off, and a lock-on button holds it running. The barrel grip is 2-3/8" in diameter. Included adapters fit most competitive accessories.

A battery capacity warning system turns on an indicator light. It is designed to stop the motor automatically when the battery needs recharging. The tool is intended for wood flooring, tile, plaster, sheetrock, wood, PVC and other applications.
