Ordered this tool because of the reviews I had read. Not the TV commercials! Sonicrafter seems well made, hefty,solid feel in the hand, easy to control once you get on to it. It is not the "use it for everything" you see on TV. But it's very useful for certain jobs. Especially those where you must bring the tool to the work piece. I have tried the End Cut blade, works very well undercutting door frames,window sills,or notching or plunge cutting flooring. You have to move tool a little to & fro to keep the cut going. The Semi-circle is great for cutting close to a wall. Easier to use on softer woods but will cut oak or particle board, may take a little longer. heats up some on extended cuts , but usually at the low speed, which you will rarely use. I've cut thin sheet metal with it , you can make some tiny cuts for close fits. The reg. size sanding pad holds well to velcro sanding attachment. Coarse grit good for removing material or rough shaping.
I opted for the 72-piece kit, since the cost of buying the individual blades & tool heads make it a good deal.
The much higher price Fenn Multimaster tool is too pricey..so are accessories. The specs between the 2 tools are close. So unless you're a full time contractor who needs to use 52 weeks are year , go for the Rockwell!
ps: the remarks about the blade going loose are wrong. the 6 pointed mount is secure as long as you keep blade flat against mounting, hex bolt tight,,,very secure. Also you are able to attach blades at different angle for easier access to cuts.
( plus you get extra hex bolt incase you strip it out.Get more detail about Rockwell RK5102K Sonicrafter Deluxe 72-Piece Kit.
