Between my father and I, we own an obscene amount of tools. We recognize that the right tool makes a huge difference when presented with a specific obstacle or hurdle. In my case, I had to flush cut and trim wood strips that had been nailed to a brick wall in the corner of a small kitchen. No circular or reciprocating saw would fit and there was insufficient room to use a hand saw. I even tried chiseling the wood, but again...there was no room to swing a hammer. This is when I invested in the Rockwell multi-tool and boy am I happy I did that.
I spent a lot of time deciding which tool to go with. Honestly, the only companies I was considering were Fein, Rockwell and Dremel. The Dremel tool felt too amatuerish to me and it was so new to the market at the time, I didn't want to the lab rat to figure out what was wrong with it. The Fein tool was beautifully made but it carried a not so beautiful price tag. The Rockwell tool split the difference between the abovementioned two tools nicely.
When you hold it, it has an obvious heft to it. From what I can tell, there's nothing plastic to break easily and the cord is nicely sized. The carrying bag is great as is the attachment carrying case, despite the fact I had to empty it out a bit to get it closed after opening it the first time.
The tool runs admirably. It gets a bit warm/hot when running it for extended periods, but it's manageable the entire time. The adjustable speed is great and it takes some time to get use to how to best cut something. Go too hard and you prevent the blades from oscillating and cutting. Too light and it'll be hard to keep the blade from jumping around. Given how much effort it puts, I highly recommend staying with a CORDED multi-tool. I can see the cordless versions from other companies being underpowered if you cutting anything harder than pine or sheetrock.
I recommend this product to amateur and professionals alike!
