Read about a number of new oscillating saw products entering the market and the one that appealed to me the most was the Rockwell sonicrafter. The big negative seemed to be that it was not yet handled by a large retailer so blades might be hard to get. They are, on the other hand, readily available online from a number of sources. I was putting down a wooden floor in a bathroom and wanted something to undercut the door jamb. Thought this tool sounded good enough to give it a chance. Arrived in a timely manner and I started working on the floor. I undercut the door, then had to change blades and do a plunge cut in a plank for the heater register, then to the scraper blade to remove some of the old tile mastic from the new floor area and finally to the end cutting blade to make a multi-sided cut in the end of the wood where it met the wall and door frame. Got far more use out of it than I had planned. It felt good in my hand with its rubber coating and the motor ran smoothly, not bogging down or laboring on any job. Blade change was easy and the blade did not come loose when running. The metal housing between the motor and blade got quite warm during use but cooled down quickly when the work stopped. Never had a time when it was too hot to handle. I have never been a fan of the jig saw and this has taken many of the uses away from it. I did not use the grout cutting blade or the sanding pad but I can see some future uses for them. I am very happy with my purchase.
