Oscillating Multi-Tool

[jluv]

They're talking about these:



I use it primarily for plunge cutting and undercutting the door casing and trim when installing our floors. Carpet butts up against them but the flooring we have looks way better when tucked under.

I've used it to flush cut nails and such before too.

Your pic is not showing up for me, but I'd already looked it up before I posted to see what it looks like; I just couldn't figure out what it was used for.

In what way did you use it for your flooring? I'm not getting what you're saying.

EDIT: Nevermind, I understand now. The carpet thing threw me off at first, as the carpet in houses I've lived in did actually tuck under the trim and not just butt up to it.

Have the rigid cordless listed above and a harbor freight one with a cord.

Use the harbor freight 90% of the time, works better and faster. Used it for everything from tile grout removal cutting door jambs. Awesome and handy tool

I use the HF one that goes on sale for 14.99 every once in a while, no complaints about it and i use it pretty frequently

Works good, deafening loud.

How often will you be using this, and what for? If it's for a single project just go buy the Harbor Freight one!

As far as I can tell the 2 main things to keep an eye on are...

1. Make sure it does not have some sort of proprietary method to attach the attachments...

2. Make sure you like the method used to attach the attachments.

Won't be used often just like my other Dewalt stuff but it's nice to have when something comes up and I have it. But think I might just save the extra money and get one like you guys have mentioned from Harbor Freight.
