Makita DCO181Z 18V Li-ion Cordless Brushless AWS Cut Out Tool – Skin Only

Fast, precise, and built for the trade — the Makita DCO181Z is the cordless cut out tool that makes drywall, plasterboard, and panel cutting effortless. With a high-performance brushless motor delivering 32,000rpm, it powers through materials with speed and efficiency, while the soft start function gives you full control at the beginning of every cut.

Lightweight at just 1.1kg (skin), with a compact, low-vibration design, this tool is comfortable for all-day use, whether you’re a plasterer, builder, or drywall installer. The tool-less adjustable depth plate lets you set your cutting depth in seconds, making it ideal for quick, accurate cutouts for lighting, switches, vents, and more.

For a cleaner, safer jobsite, the DCO181Z is also compatible with Makita’s AWS (Auto-start Wireless System), allowing it to connect via Bluetooth to a compatible dust extractor (sold separately) — powering up only when you start cutting.
