A great tool, although it's a bit noisy. OTOH I do have trouble with the blades; the ones I have found so far are a bit like the 'toy' hand held circular saw blades used to be and get hot and blunt annoyingly fast.hutchphd said:Oscillating multitool saw
Great tool to have.
I was astounded at how well it peeled up foot square vinyl tiles that had been glued down. The smooth (no teeth) scraper blade heated up just enough to melt the glue so they pried up like butter. Much better than any other horrible method I had ever previously tried.sophiecentaur said:'toy' hand held circular saw blades used to be and get hot and blunt annoyingly fast.
