Re: Looking for a good oscillating tool?
Posted: Thu May 30, 2013 1:57 pmJust so you know, guys, this is a cheapo copy of the very, very expensive Fein Detail Sanding and Cutting Tool. Mine cost me $200 years ago. I just ordered this one.
I have started buying these cheapos for jobs that don't require the finesse that the most expensive tools give, and I have been very pleased. The Blue Hawk cheapo copy of Dremel is great for things like removing large bits of plastic on cars I am converting from a kit to a slot car. The bearings aren't the best, and the shafts of some of the attachments aren't perfectly straight like a Dremel, but then who cares when you're grinding a couple of inches off a body? I ordered one of these from this thread because I frankly want to protect my best tools from mundane, unimportant tasks.
