I love the Sonicrafter (Deluxe 72 pc set)! I researched the many brands available and decided on this one - even though there are a lot of critics. Price was also an issue. I am renovating an 1820 Federal style house with a LOT of windows (a lot with original storm windows as well) - all the windows need to be stripped of lead paint and the panes re-glazed. I have done many using a heat gun but found it to be a lot of unpleasant work. With the scraper blade I was able to clean off a lot of paint and the old putty fairly easily. The blade came loose only once - because I put too much pressure. As others have said - let the tool do the work. It is a little heavy but got use to it quickly. I ran it at high speed and had no heat problems. Found the sanding to be fantastic - easily sanded the glass channels. I have a dremel contour sander that does not work as well. All in all I am very pleased - I cannot say that I look forward to the rest of the windows but the Sonicrafter (and my Craftsman multi-speed orbital sander) will make my work a little easier. Attaching a shop vac was easy and worked well. Great carrying bag and blade/sandpaper holder - keeps everything in its place easily! Would recommend for working on windows! The only reason I did not give it 5 stars - it would be perfect if it could do windows by itself!!!Get more detail about Rockwell RK5102K Sonicrafter Deluxe 72-Piece Kit.
