I bought this Sonicrafter for a few reasons, price being the main one. I seriously thought about just biting the bullet and getting the Fein, but couldn't justify the price for the amount of work it would see. The Rockwell name was another reason, but it was mis-guided. This is NOT the same Rockwell as the tool making company of the same name. I'm starting to regret my decision. It does work well making cutouts in drywall, but so does a $7 drywall saw.... When trying to cut off a piece of 3/4 thick pine, the blade smokes, overheats and makes for a poor cut. I'm not expecting a miter saw smooth cut, just trying to shorten up some baseboard. That shouldn't cause a problem, but with the Sonicrafter it does. The blades also dull quickly, they seem to be made of a cheap tool steel, or the heat treating is done incorrectly.
I've has the tool for a little while now, and kind of hope it does for some reason so I can buy my Fein.Get more detail about Rockwell RK5101K Sonicrafter Tool Kit, 37-Piece.
