Makita _ Multitool or Grinder

Bluefoam

I fell down a rabbit hole and can't stop...

I have combi drill with a couple of batteries, so it was obvious that I needed a Makita lawn mower to make use of those batteries, so that's on its way...

I'm moving house and have a couple of needs... One being to score a small channel in a path to get power from the house to the shed.... Obviously a grinder would work here, but the multitool would be so much more versatile and I'd potentially get allot more use from it...

Would the multitool be up to the task? I've never used one before. Bearing in mind, that the job in hand is a one off and it wouldn't be a repeated pressure on the tool.

I'm also looking at a jigsaw, so want to keep my costs respectable... Don't want to be investing in too many toys (in the short term)

No chance a multitool would be any good on a path. Grinder all the way.

Buy the multitool for future use and hire a proper grinder (assuming it's concrete you need that channel in)

not a hope a multitool would cut a concrete path. a mini grinder will struggle as well but take it slow and it will cut.
both great tools but not for this job
hire an angle grinder or consaw

+ consider the extra cost of hiring a diamond cutting disc.

OP, the days of just cutting a groove in the path for power to the shed are well gone.

You will need to have it buried in accordance with the regs, between 300 and 650mm IIRC.
Bring above ground, a lot easier

I'll loan you a chasing machine if you want.

Thank you, I may just take you up on that offer. Allot of moving in and planning to happen before that...
