Both new accessories move away from the standard push blade model and instead cut when you pull the tool. Oscillating tools are already excellent at cutting drywall but they are not really that great at cutting curves in drywall. To address that problem Dremel has come out with the new MM435 Multi-Max Drywall Jab Saw Blade. The MM435 has a pointed blade that... ]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2012 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/18v-cordless-oscillating-multi-tool-announced-by-porter-cable-201205091193/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/18v-cordless-oscillating-multi-tool-announced-by-porter-cable-201205091193/ It looks like the battle of 18V cordless oscillating multi-tools has officially begun. Porter-Cable is taking their oscillating tool design, with tool-less accessory change, to their 18-volt lithium-ion cordless line and is going up against Makita. The new PCCK510LA has a little less speed than we are used to at only 7,500 to 15,000 oscillations per minute, but it is said to provide double the run time of their 12V Max oscillation tool when using the 18v compact battery, and triple the runtime with using their high capacity 18V battery. The tool features a... ]]> Wed, 09 May 2012 18:37:47 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/fein-multimaster-179-at-woodcraft-201205041189/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/fein-multimaster-179-at-woodcraft-201205041189/ The competition surrounding oscillating tools is a view of capitalism as its best. Not only do we have more choices, but we are also getting better features at lower prices. Fein has been reducing their prices ever since, and deals are becoming more common. Now until June 1, 2012 Woodcraft is running a free $20 gift card deal with purchase of the Fein MultiMaster Q. This is the MultiMaster starter kit and also includes the tool-less blade change feature. The MultiMaster Q is currently selling for $199, so the $20 gift card brings... ]]> Fri, 04 May 2012 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/ridgid-pneumatic-jobmax-oscillation-multi-tool-201204231178/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/ridgid-pneumatic-jobmax-oscillation-multi-tool-201204231178/ The JobMax is a tool that Ridgid makes that features a corded or cordless body that can accept interchangeable heads. The System has been out for a while now, with improvements and attachments coming along the way. Now it appears the next step for the JobMax system is to go pneumatic. The Ridgid Pneumatic JobMax Model: R9020PNK Multi-Tool Kit is available now on HomeDepot.com for just under $120. It includes the oscilling head and a few accessories, but it is also compatible with the other JobMax heads, including the auto-hammer, impact driver, ratchet, and... ]]> Mon, 23 Apr 2012 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/makita-corded-18v-cordless-oscillation-tool-rumors-are-true-201204161166/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/makita-corded-18v-cordless-oscillation-tool-rumors-are-true-201204161166/ Remember back in December I posted an article about rumors floating around the internet that Makita was coming out with an oscillation tool and that an 18-volt cordless model was also in the works? Well it turns out that the rumors were correct. Last week – while I was out sick – Makita posted a couple of videos on their Youtube channel that outed their new upcoming products. The videos (below) introduce to us the Makita TMC3000CX5 corded oscillation tool and the LXMT025 18-volt cordless oscillation tool. The TMC3000CX5 features a 3.0-amp soft-start motor... ]]> Mon, 16 Apr 2012 07:00:00 -0500 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-mx30e-tool-less-multi-x-oscillating-tool-out-now-201203081133/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/bosch-mx30e-tool-less-multi-x-oscillating-tool-out-now-201203081133/ I just received official word from Bosch that their new tool-less accessory change Multi-X oscillating tool is available now in stores. The new tool-less feature is something that we have all been waiting for, but the MX30E has other notable features that make the upgrade that much better. And at $199, the MX30E is still priced to match or beat the Fein MultiMaster. Offering 3.0-amps of the power, the MX30E has the highest rating in its class. The MX25E and other oscillating tools out today come in at around 2.5-amps. The oscillations per minute on the MX30E... ]]> Thu, 08 Mar 2012 20:44:00 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/fein-launches-a-multimaster-fmm-250q-consumer-package-201203061130/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/fein-launches-a-multimaster-fmm-250q-consumer-package-201203061130/ The Fein Multimaster has been around for years and it was not uncommon to see one on a jobsite every once in a while. They have been a popular tool to those who could afford them, yet seem an unnecessary tool to those of us who had never before used one. Of course that all changed when every brand in the world started making them after Fein's patent exclusivity ended. Now in an effort to keep the cash coming in, Fein has launched a new consumer package for their FMM 250Q. With the introduction... ]]> Tue, 06 Mar 2012 06:54:58 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/20-percent-off-select-bosch-tools-and-free-shipping-at-ohio-power-tool-201202151118/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/hot-deals/20-percent-off-select-bosch-tools-and-free-shipping-at-ohio-power-tool-201202151118/ Ohio Power Tool is taking some of the deals they offer at The Wood Working Shows and is putting them online for all to take advantage of, and these deals are awesome.

The corded for when you need to do a lot of work, and a cordless for quick cuts and when you need to move around a lot. Unfortunately we cannot all afford to spend $300 to get both tools. Today only, Amazon has the cordless Dremel Multi-Max for only $73, and that is for a New kit. The kit includes a couple blades and a sanding pad to get you started, and also comes... ]]> Sat, 11 Feb 2012 01:29:26 -0600 https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/imperial-blades-debuts-titanium-coated-oscillating-blades-201201231099/ https://www.old.toolrank.com/tool-blog/News/imperial-blades-debuts-titanium-coated-oscillating-blades-201201231099/ I am still amazed at the amount of jobsite issues an oscillation tool can help me solve, and I am very thankful to have this technology. I also think back to jobs where an oscillating tool could have saved me a ton of time and energy. But as great as these tools are, the blades seem to be the weak link. Is the future of oscillation tools in blades? Maybe titanium blades? Imperial Blades came out with a new titanium coated oscillation tool blade that they claim "changes everything". You see, the problem with... ]]> Mon, 23 Jan 2012 08:00:00 -0600
