I bought this product for my husband. I thought he had every tool around. Well, he didn't have this one. He sure loves it. We just bought a house that needs lots of work. This tool has come in so handy for so many different jobs. I guess I did the right thing when I ordered this. It sure is a winner at our house!!
After butchering a carbide grout blade, I received this blade in a multi-pack, and it has done a great job on one specific task -- removing a 3/8 inch sanded grout seam in floor tile, where my goal was to remove and re-use the tile itself. (If you're new to this, the key is NOT to try to grind out all the grout with the blade -- a 3/8 inch seam is too wide -- but to cut a center channel down the center of the seam, and then run a utility knife along the edge of the tile and collapse the grout on either side of the channel into the channel itself. You'll run through some utility knife blades, but it gets the job done.) Had been using a Rotozip with a grout removal bit, which did a good enough job, but the bit tended to burn up a bit too easily.
This tool is perfect for the weekend DIY-er, but is most appropriate for very small jobs. I have had success with short cuts in light wood (builder's doors, flag poles, particle wood) and the tool is a convenient size for these jobs.
My only problem so far was when I tried to cut an inch off the bottom of an interior solid wood door. The tool got the job done, but with a fair amount of sweat and elbow grease. I haven't had any problems yet with it overheating, but the tool does get quite warm to the touch. Also, because this is an oscillatory tool, the saw has a tendency to jump around if not held firmly in place when making cuts.
The sanding feature is nice, as the triangular shape of the sanding pad allows for access into corners. However the sanding pads are velcro-backed and are specific to this tool. So replacing them could be costly if you have a larger job and will require multiple pads.
Overall, I've been pleased with this tool as an addition to my collection when breaking out the circular saw seems like overkill. I would definitely recommend this tool for quick jobs around the house with its limitations in mind.
PROS:
-convenient size
-multiple functionality in one tool
-availability of optional accessories
CONS:
-oscillatory action of saw can make erratic cuts if not held firmly
-not appropriate for thick wood, large jobs
The company installing our new granite counter tops wanted 5.00 to "scribe" the new counter top. Actually, they would be cutting away the drywall above the kitchen sink where the wall is bowed 3/8" inwards at counter top level. This bowed area was 5 feet wide. I advised the counter top company I would take care of this myself. Using my corded Dremel Multi-Max, I used the 3" wood and drywall saw blade and cut two parallel horizontal slits 3/8" deep and 5 feet wide in the drywall 1 3/8" apart at counter top level. Next, using the 1 1/8" wood and metal flush cutting blade, I plunge cut vertical slots 3/8" deep connecting the horizontal slits about every 1/2". I used blue painter's tape fastened to the blades as a depth gauge. Finally, I took the flexible scraper blade and ran this sideways behind the horizontal cuts and in amazement, watched these small pieces of drywall fly into the wet/dry vac hose I held with my other hand. TEN MINUTES of work saved 5.00 - more than the price of the Dremel Multi-Max!
