Oscillating Multi-Tool Reviews & Buying Guides

Our corded oscillating multi-tool reviews cover products that really do things no other tool can accomplish. For example, corded oscillating multi-tools make undercutting doorways easy. They excel at replacing those undercutting hand saws that get the job done, but take forever. When laying tile, wood flooring, or linoleum, make undercutting a doorway with a corded oscillating multi-tool step one. Knowing which of these tools will get the job done quickly can save you a lot of time and effort. Check out our cordless oscillating multi-tool reviews if you need more freedom.
Oscillating Multi-tool Reviews That Tell the Whole Story
Rather than simply review the oscillating multi-tool accessories, we give a clear picture of how each of the multi-tools will work for a tradesman. We do this by ensuring we use the same accessories whenever possible. One of the newest systems is the Bosch Starlock multi-tool accessory system. This system matches the Fein Starlock oscillating multi-tool system. With the advent of universal multi-tool accessories, this is becoming more and more possible. It definitely evens the playing field. That allows us to test true cutting speed, vibration, and other features of the tool. Then, we can stop wondering whether the oscillating multi-tool cuts quickly—or if the blade makes it fast.

Rockwell Sonicrafter and Rockwell Sonictool Multi-tools

by Tim Mitchell

Rockwell has just thrown down the gauntlet in multi-tools by offering both a Universal Fit system to allow their three new Sonicrafters, and their new Shop Series Sonictool, to use other brands’ accessories without adapters. Three new Sonicrafters and a Sonictool? Yes. The company has completely revised its initial Sonicrafter Oscillating Multi-tool by adding a Hyperlock tool-less blade change and also increasing the motor power. And if that weren’t enough, the company has also released a new assortment of Rockwell universal accessories designed to fit not just their own tools, but also competitive multi-tools.

This week, the company launched a 3-amp Corded Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit (model PCE605K), which, with the right blade, should be able to cut through just about anything you put it against.

Dremel MM20 Multi-Max Oscillating Tool Kit Preview

We reviewed the well-received Dremel Multi-Max Oscillating Tool last year and found it to be one of our go-to tools for any number of particular uses for which it continues to be well-suited. It’s an extremely adept tool and works well, plus you can find accessories in just about any hardware store or home improvement warehouse. With that said, we thought we had heard the last of the Dremel multi-tool, especially when the company announced the cordless version of its Multi-Max line. Now, the company has gone back in and modified the original Multi-Max 6300 corded tool into two new versions – and both are very impressive in their own right. Today we look closely at the new MM20-01 Oscillating Tool Kit to see what makes it tick.

Having reviewed the popular (for good reason) Dremel Multi-Max 6300 Oscillating Tool last year and it really became one of our go-to tools for undercutting, cutting in electrical boxes and various other task for which a multi-tool is perfectly suited. Because Dremel was first to market following the release of the Fein patent, its accessories are very popular and found in just about any hardware store or home improvement warehouse. Even with all that behind it, we thought we were pretty much at the end of the Dremel story. I mean, they have both a corded and cordless model – so what else is there? Apparently more power. The company has tweaked their Multi-Max 6300 corded tool into two brand new models. Today we’re taking a sneak peek at the new MM40-01 Oscillating Tool Kit – paying particular attention to their new tool-less blade change.

With just about every tool manufacturer making oscillating multi-tools now, almost everyone has one.

You need to check out the new Porter-Cable PC250MTK Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit. This new tool from Porter-Cable has what might be an even better tool-less blade change system than the original from Europe.

It’s a 2-amp tool that works with the new Bosch OIS line of accessories. The SKIL Power Tools 1400-02 Oscillating Multi-Tasker comes as part of an 11-piece multi-tool kit that is meant to be a go-to or catch-all tool for home improvement professionals as well as the casual user or do-it-yourselfer.
