The Makita XMT04ZB is a sub-compact 18V oscillating multi-tool sold as a bare tool, without battery or charger. It runs a brushless motor with a 10,000–20,000 OPM variable-speed dial, soft-start, and Anti-Vibration Technology, plus a 3.6-degree oscillation angle for faster cutting and sanding. The StarlockMax tool-less clamp accepts StarlockMax, StarlockPlus and Starlock accessories, so blade changes need no wrench. It suits trades and DIYers already on Makita's 18V LXT batteries who want a compact cordless multi-tool; against corded rivals it gives up nothing in speed but depends on the batteries you own.

Owners of the XMT04ZB generally rate it highly for smooth, low-vibration operation and quick Starlock blade changes. Complaints center on the bare-tool format and the higher cost and narrower selection of StarlockMax accessories.
The Makita XMT04ZB is an 18V LXT cordless oscillating multi-tool with a sub-compact brushless motor. It is sold as a tool only, and it uses 18V LXT lithium-ion slide-style batteries. It suits remodelers, carpenters, plumbers, wood floor installers and general contractors.
A dial sets the speed from 10,000 to 20,000 OPM, and a soft start gives smooth start-ups. The 3.6° oscillation angle is made for fast cutting and sanding. Anti-Vibration Technology, an internal counterbalance system, reduces vibration by up to 85%. A built-in LED light illuminates the work area.
The StarlockMax clamp system changes accessories without tools. The tool also accepts StarlockPlus and Starlock accessories. It can be used for cutting, sanding, scraping and grout removal on wood flooring, tile, plaster, sheetrock, wood and PVC. The barrel grip has a small diameter, and the large slide switch has a lock-on button.
