The best invention in tools in the last 20 years. I pull it out almost every day.

Thank you for doing this video. I've recently discovered the joys of the multi-tool in doing work on our house. The scraper tool was fabulous for cutting carpet. (The blades with teeth would sometimes get bogged down on the pile.) This was such a back and knee saver since I had to cut the carpet in strips and bind in order for the trash people to pick up.

I just bought one today and I've never used one before. Thank you so much for the information. It's a huge help for beginners like me.

Watching your video made me realize this was a tool I had to have. Also all the extra little tips you gave instead of buying extra attachments was genius. Thank you for making my decision easy I will defiantly be following you from now on

Recently bought an inexpensive corded oscillating tool for a series of projects...love it. It all started with a kitchen sink floor replacement and other than finding out how quickly I can go through blades it exceeded my expectations. Shortly after this we moved to siding replacement and repairs on the exterior of the house. I was salvaging and fitting hardy panel over existing cedar so I had some fitting cuts to make on the cedar...the multitool was great for cutting out the cedar trim and rotted ends. Heck, I often used it to cutoff nails I couldn’t safely pull. When hanging new carriage lights I sacrificed a couple of blades to cut small wiring access holes using the multitool. Definitely one of the smartest additions to my small arsenal of power tools. Thanks for the tips.

I bought one not long a go. It's a very useful cutting tool. Thanks for showing me how reuse those old blades I kept in my junk box. Thank you again.

Great video, No BS just straight to the point. Job well done!

Thank you. I'm just beginning to add a few tools to my shop. The multi-tools are handy and easy to use. Great presentation.

Awesome awesome video!! Most people I watched even those who test the blades all focus on just one section on the blade. So it wasn’t a fair test. I’m new to the multi-tool and watching a lot of videos to get myself familiar with the many functions. This is a video that’s definitely helped. Thanks. Now I know to work the took like it’s a grinder in a sense when cutting metal. You’re awesome!!!!!

Great timing! I just bought one of those yesterday. I knew/know it is versatile, but I didn't know all the different things it does. I love how you recycled the older dull blades.

If you get some small saw files you can actually sharpen your blunt blades and make them sharp again. Just need to use a vise to hold the blade still while you slowly use the file to make the grooves deep again.

For me, it's kind of one of those things that I didn't really thing about, but I've been renovating my basement and it's really helpful for all the tight spaces where a Sawzall or circular saw don't fit well. I'm really glad I have it now. Not sure if still going on, but got mine from home depot - dewalt had a sweet deal for the tool and small battery for 100

I am a contractor and use this saw in place of a" back saw ", which is used for cutting trim and door casing near floor level. This is done a lot when installing flooring . A scrap piece of the flooring can be used as a gauge for height . Also if the piece you are cutting is loose and wants to vibrate just loosen the pressure and LET THE SAW DO THE WORK on its own . Very light pressure usually works great for faster cuts on everything.

@@lindabaker1776 Hello, I'm surprised no one answered you. But I'm sure you got your answer too. In case for anyone else. Use a utility blade, if you have wood floors, especially original, take some pliers, pinch, pull up carpet, with a new blade, begin cutting, avoiding floor damage. Once the hole is big enough, you'll be able to hold carpet up behind the utility blade, but still, be careful. If the matting cushion is tough to pull up, use your multitool scrapper blade.

It's a sign I should buy the tools I have sitting in my virtual cart on a certain home remodeling store app! Love this video. Thanks!

Love how you store your nailer in the background. Gave me an idea how to store mine

Excellent vid. Just bought this, read the manual but your presentation added so much more

Love the video. 👍 For anyone thinking of buying an oscillating tool, stop thinking about it and go buy one! I bought one the day I started my kitchen renovation and it was immediately my favorite and MOST useful tool during the job. It saved tons of time and frustration, and made so many things that would have been a pain to accomplish easy and quick.

I believe I bought my kit at Harbor freight. If I remember right it is not an expensive brand name.

Things that this tool does that beat other tools: It can replace jig saws for long straight accurate cuts, especially on boards where jigsaw vertical vibrations make accuracy difficult, the horizontal multitool vibrations present no problems. It can cut floor boards on a bevel angle avoiding recessed brad nails, and cut tongue and groove boards so that the original boards may be lifted and replaced without splitting, especially useful for antique boards that have no modern size equivalent, replacing floorboard saws. It can perform partial depth cuts, instead of using chisels. Blades may be narrowed using angle grinders for specific jobs like morticing door fittings, squaring drill holes, or cutting recesses for flush fittings, such as hinges. You can glue fine grit abrasive sheets to old blades for honing cutting edges on various blades, or squaring screwdrivers, or removing rust from blade faces, or old grout from tiles being re-affixed. Plunge cutting can make holes or channels where your drill cannot go, at the back of cabinets, through joists, at the base of skirting boards, for routeing pipes, cables and flexes. If you have a problem without a solution, pick up your multitool and see what possibilities it may offer!

Question for you... I need to go through some 2×4 that termites got to, wondering how deep a plunge cut really goes on this thing. Looked at mini circulars, but still to bulky. For reference, replacing chaser boards on a bow window and some sub framing chewed up. Thinking I can cut it out. But I am cheap. Tool needs to work

@tikaanipippin

Жыл бұрын

@@matthewbailey2013 it depends on the length of the blade you can get. I have seen videos of multitool saw blades extended by welding a section of a new blade to an old one, but there must be a limit, as the amplitude of the oscillation increases with distance from the blade clamp centre. I would use a reciprocating saw on window frames, generally, for added reach, or a pad saw if the material was soft enough, which can be improvised with a hacksaw blade and a handle. Having never encountered termite damage in the UK, I can imagine that it can be knocked out with a chisel and mallet, as fungal rot or woodworm damaged timber would be in my experience. Nowadays you see mini chain saws used to plunge cut holes in panels, and they must have depths in excess of that of a multitool. The next thing will be a handheld laser cutter!

Purchased my first oscillating tool yesterday to do the trim around the wood work to aid in the installation of laminate flooring. I found the tool with a stiff scraper blade especially good for cutting the old carpet into strips that made them easy for me to carry. Sure beat the utility knife I had planned to use.

A tip: the wood blades can easily be re-sharpened with a triangular file. The file has a harder Rockwell rating than these blades. First level the blades a bit with a flat file and after that reprofile the teeth with a triangular file. (3 sided file). As for bi-metal, just buy new ones :)

- My very favorite tool. Works well when cutting small pieces. Thanx 4 sharing.

Great video brother and a must see for anyone who uses a multi tool. I thought I had a few tricks, but I think you beat me by a few. Killer carpet cutter invention. I use my dull blades to cut old caulking and knock off paint chips. No need to grind down the saw teeth. Just run the blade on cement for a minute or so. The blade can be used on both sides and the tip to demo baseboards, trims etc. without busting up the drywall. The dull blade also works great for knocking off delaminating stucco and removing cement spills/splashes. You should do another video on the difference between a good multi tool and a bad one. The fine line for me is the the high sound that can be deafening and the vibration of the tool when used for prolonged periods of time that can actually cause bodily harm to ones bone joints. I have used Fein, Bosch, Dewalt, and Makita as a professional tradesman/painter. Each tool has its pros and cons and rest assured, blades are not cheap for anyone who is considering buying a multi tool. Thanks for the tips.

Just in case you don’t know you can always re sharpen your saw blades with a small triangle file. But you’ll need a vice to hold the blade steady. You can also sharpen those scrapper blades with angle grinder. I say this because these blades are NOT cheap and even the more expensive ones wear out quickly.

I'm on my third model now. I started out with a corded Bosch diy model, but soon got tired of the cord and the screw to secure the blade. Went out and bought an 18V Bosch diy with quick release instead. When I needed it for a project this fall, I found out that it was limited to the basic Starlock blades, so I went out and bought a Bosch Pro model that will also take Starlock Plus. Starlock Max is restricted to the corded pro models it seems, at least on Bosch models. I am very happy with the one I got though, it made short work of that project ( Trimming the bottom of the face boards on my garden shed). :)

My first attempt at using my oscillating multi tool made me think it was useless. I had to think about what was happening, and realized the quarter round I was cutting was only attached to the cabinet at the far end. This allowed the quarter round to vibrate with the blade, so instead of cutting through, it was like the multi tool and quarter round were performing a very fast tango. Once I secured the loose side of the quarter round, the blade cut surprisingly well. Thanks for the tips.
