Multi-Oscillating-Tool

The first multi-oscillating-tool I came across was Fein's Multimaster, a great handyman-tool. I purchased it to do some detailed sanding on wood carvings. After some extensive research on what to use I decided on the Fein since it had so many other functions.

Since the patent has expired on Fein's design, Dremel Tool (and others) has come out with their own tool that's similar in function. I've never used it but I like Dremel's other products and I'm sure it would be great for a DIY'er. If you're a professional handyman the Fein's Mulitmaster is the ultimate multi tool. Recently Bosch has come out with thier own multi oscillating tool that's less expensive than then Fein and it's cordless.

These mulit-oscillating handyman-tools are designed to work in tight spaces and is great for cutting door jambs to match the height of new flooring. It will also make quick work of window repair…remove old glazing compound without a problem and without any danger of breaking the glass. I’ve also used it to cut holes in drywall for a new electrical outlet for a ceiling fan.

It will effortlessly remove old floor coverings, such as carpet or PVC, cut parquet, laminate, hardwood floor strips, and sand parquet flooring accurately into difficult corners and edges. There's nothing better for removing old grout for a tile repair. The different blades are pricey but will last a long time as long as you let the tool do the work. If you force the tool, I’ve noticed it tends to wear out the blades quicker.
