Pros & Cons
Pros
Bought this in june of 2021 (maybe july, don't recall exactly). Needless to say, i was most intrigued by this tool being 3.
The head design makes it easy to swap heads quickly. The side handle helps with stability. Ear protection is recommended.
Used the oscillating multi tool and eased into a plunge cut. Cut the downspouts in seconds. Now my wife wants new countertops--i'll have to get a blade to cut through the old grout.
Cons
Wore down blade after using for about 12 inches. Attached tools wobble in addition to oscillating. The wobbling leads to a worrying grinding sound.
Unable to effectively break up super old, falling apart, grout. Hopefully will hold up better. Not worth it.
Highlights
Quality
It feels like a solid well built tool
Very well made and works as needed to remove grouting on floor
I had an entire day of cutting out a glued section of fiberglass on my boat having to cut through some nasty adhesive stainless... Read More
Hardly ever use it and it stops working with cutting surface contact
Price
Price is also an extremely good value
Impressed for the price and it’s definitely a workhorse
Checked around and the battery powered ones were about 100
The was a deal at less than 55 delivered
Shipping
The vendor was great the product arrived a day earlier than expected
It arrived at 5pm today dec 13 2023
Update 1on december 4th i sent the company an email describing my problem
Competitiveness
Blade lockup device is 10x better than most of the similar saws at the home store
It accepts other companys blades like diablo and the quick release makes blade changes easy
I would put this up against a fein or milwaukee on any project
Otherwise imho this is the better tool

I was trying to jam my jigsaw into a narrow space to trim some shims around a door frame without success until i realized that this multitool could perform the same function much more easily

The achilles heel of this tool seems to be that it is prone to dying without warning i used mine lightly for a few odd jobs and this morning it quit midjob when it wouldnt turn back on

I dont know if this is an issue with an internal fuse or something else but from reading the reviews it seems like a variety of people are reporting the same behavior
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
It would be nice if there was a way to service this ourselves if it is something simple like a fuse

I am just within the window of allowable warranty service so i will reach out to the company and update this review with contact information for the company which is surprisingly difficult to find and my outcome
