I've had my Sonicrafter for a couple of months and already I feel like I've gotten more than my money's worth out of it. It is a heavy-duty, professional quality tool and this set comes with about everything one needs to get started on any project. So far I have used all of the tool attachments except the rasping triangle, and so far so good.
A kitchen remodeling pressed the tool into heavy use, but the Sonicrafter was most impressive of all in removing loose paint from old crown molding and making the various surfaces smooth, ready for priming and painting. This latter job took me less than an hour -- it was in a large bathroom --with far better results than I would have imagined from tens of hours of hand scraping and sanding. Having pointed sanding tools operating with this much power speeds up detail work immensely.
I find the allen wrench "chuck" easy enough to use and have had saw blades slip only a couple of times when I got in a hurry.
I have yet to use the vacuum attachment -- I'll need to get a hose extension for my shop vac -- but it looks like a clever and effective set-up. But it's not an essential feature, since the tool is great even without it.
I shopped but did not demo the competing products. One was too expensive and the other seemed a little light weight.
I am thrilled with the Sonicrafter.Get more detail about Rockwell RK5102K Sonicrafter Deluxe 72-Piece Kit.
