- 20 Multi-Tool Tips for New DIYers
We have had a lot of new people come into the DIY community, and we want to help them learn their new tools. Many of these tips are simple but I would have loved to know these back when I started working with a Oscillating Multi-Tool.
This is an underutilized tool that more people should know about.

Thank you for doing this video. I've recently discovered the joys of the multi-tool in doing work on our house. The scraper tool was fabulous for cutting carpet. (The blades with teeth would sometimes get bogged down on the pile.) This was such a back and knee saver since I had to cut the carpet in strips and bind in order for the trash people to pick up.
I just bought one today and I've never used one before. Thank you so much for the information. It's a huge help for beginners like me.
Watching your video made me realize this was a tool I had to have. Also all the extra little tips you gave instead of buying extra attachments was genius. Thank you for making my decision easy
I will defiantly be following you from now on
The best invention in tools in the last 20 years. I pull it out almost every day.
Recently bought an inexpensive corded oscillating tool for a series of projects...love it. It all started with a kitchen sink floor replacement and other than finding out how quickly I can go through blades it exceeded my expectations. Shortly after this we moved to siding replacement and repairs on the exterior of the house. I was salvaging and fitting hardy panel over existing cedar so I had some fitting cuts to make on the cedar...the multitool was great for cutting out the cedar trim and rotted ends. Heck, I often used it to cutoff nails I couldn’t safely pull. When hanging new carriage lights I sacrificed a couple of blades to cut small wiring access holes using the multitool. Definitely one of the smartest additions to my small arsenal of power tools. Thanks for the tips.
Thanks for sharing your experience. You found some great ways to use it.
Great video, No BS just straight to the point. Job well done!
I’ve never used one but have seen contractors working with them. I’ll definitely get one soon. Thanks for explaining the blade selection.
You are very welcome
Thank you. I'm just beginning to add a few tools to my shop. The multi-tools are handy and easy to use. Great presentation.
I bought one not long a go. It's a very useful cutting tool. Thanks for showing me how reuse those old blades I kept in my junk box. Thank you again.
Thank you for spending your time making this. It helped me massively. Great work.
Awesome awesome video!!
Most people I watched even those who test the blades all focus on just one section on the blade. So it wasn’t a fair test.
I’m new to the multi-tool and watching a lot of videos to get myself familiar with the many functions. This is a video that’s definitely helped. Thanks. Now I know to work the took like it’s a grinder in a sense when cutting metal. You’re awesome!!!!!
Great timing! I just bought one of those yesterday. I knew/know it is versatile, but I didn't know all the different things it does. I love how you recycled the older dull blades.
That's awesome, you should love it.
If you get some small saw files you can actually sharpen your blunt blades and make them sharp again. Just need to use a vise to hold the blade still while you slowly use the file to make the grooves deep again.

I just bought one too, and an extra one as a christmas gift.
After seeing this and other videos, they both go back to Amazon before I get them dirty.
This tool has nothing to offer that standard tools can not handle as well.
Thanks for the video. Well done.
Excellent vid. Just bought this, read the manual but your presentation added so much more
That was incredibly helpful -- specific with usage examples without being overwhelming. Thanks!
It's a sign I should buy the tools I have sitting in my virtual cart on a certain home remodeling store app! Love this video. Thanks!
- My very favorite tool. Works well when cutting small pieces. Thanx 4 sharing.
Love how you store your nailer in the background. Gave me an idea how to store mine
I love your videos. They are very well produced. You have a great personality, and you explain things extremely well. You are right on about all of your subject matter. I can depend on the info that you share. I find the bloopers at the end of the videos entertaining.
I was debating on purchasing an Oscillating tool and this video helps a lot, your videos are always very informative, love your channel. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Thank you KC
For me, it's kind of one of those things that I didn't really thing about, but I've been renovating my basement and it's really helpful for all the tight spaces where a Sawzall or circular saw don't fit well. I'm really glad I have it now. Not sure if still going on, but got mine from home depot - dewalt had a sweet deal for the tool and small battery for 100
Just bought one for sanding some door frames and cutting out nails, works way better than I expected.
Love the video. 👍 For anyone thinking of buying an oscillating tool, stop thinking about it and go buy one! I bought one the day I started my kitchen renovation and it was immediately my favorite and MOST useful tool during the job. It saved tons of time and frustration, and made so many things that would have been a pain to accomplish easy and quick.
It's one of those tools that when you have a situation that's tough to fix, you're often very thankful for it. It's so versatile, and can go where other saws can't.
I believe I bought my kit at Harbor freight. If I remember right it is not an expensive brand name.
The reference to the project farm video definitely earned you a like and subscribe. He is the go to guy for unbiased reviews of all kinds of products. I would definitely recommend checking his channel out
Thank you so very much for taking the time. Thank you.
I had no idea what this tool can do! Remarkable! I like mine more now.
Wow I have absolutely zero remodeling projects to work on but this tool looks really cool!
Another tip! Hearing protection! Great video Thank you !
After inserting the dowels into the pocket holes, I used my multi-tool to sheer off the protruding dowels! Worked great and saved me about 30 minutes of hand-sawing.
Thank you!! Love these practical tips and the bloopers :)
Great video! I learned so much! Thank you for sharing!
this is so helpful as I'm new to multi tool. so very very helpful. thanks
Thanks, love multi tools….great tips…love tools!!!!!
Loving the videos that help with crafting tools 👍👍😁
Thank you so much for these tips have a good day sir

Purchased my first oscillating tool yesterday to do the trim around the wood work to aid in the installation of laminate flooring. I found the tool with a stiff scraper blade especially good for cutting the old carpet into strips that made them easy for me to carry. Sure beat the utility knife I had planned to use.
Cool idea.
I recently discoverd this exact same thing also! And what a back and knee saver! I had done half of the living room with the utility knife and decided, 'there had to be a better way'. You tube to the rescue.
Thank you so much this tool is very new to me but I think I will love it with your help and instruction.
You're a good teacher!
Awesome! I was just thinking about getting this but didn't really know all these things about it. Thanks for this!!! It really seems like a flexible tool and one I should have bought long ago.
Thank you for posting this!
Watched it all. Worth seeing..still learning.
Amazingly helpful! Thank you so much! 😁
This was a great video and had not seen one on oscillating tools or at least not as comprehensive! Well done!
Thank you very much
Thank you for posting this helpful video
A++ communicator, crisp, clear and helpful. Excellent work. Bravo! Gratitude! Subscribed. ❤️🙏🏼👏🦅👈🏽
Excellent tips. Thanks for posting this.
Excellent presentation, thank you.
I just ran across your channel Clinton and subscribed right away. I really like your 'no BS' style!
You mentioned, when cutting round things like pipe, that using a wider blade made it easier to keep on track. I like the curved half-moon shaped blade, it doesn't jump off track at all. 😉
Love my multitool and you gave some great tips that are only obvious once pointed out, great repurposing of dull blades guess I won't be throwing those out now.
Super interesting. Thank you for your time and work.
Hi. I'm sceptical about tips n tricks TH-cam videos but....this was fantastic. Thank you
Perfect, thank you.
Excellent tips. 👍👍👍
I just got one - thanks for the tips!
Thank you, Clinton! I've got to remodel two bathrooms, and this tool will make that much easier.
Wow, that sounds like a lot of work. I definitely wish you the best of luck.
@@SpecificLove7 thank you! All part of the joy of homeownership.
Absolutely the next most used tool at home for me after my Impact Driver. So versatile even on things you'd never have thought before you had one. I just wish they didn't go so blades so easily 💰
Ok, should i get 20v impact or would a 18v do ? Automotive application.
A tip: the wood blades can easily be re-sharpened with a triangular file. The file has a harder Rockwell rating than these blades. First level the blades a bit with a flat file and after that reprofile the teeth with a triangular file. (3 sided file). As for bi-metal, just buy new ones :)
Love the tips ! need to use mine more geez i'm missing out.
Great video. Super useful for a beginner with this tool like myself!
Very helpful and informative thank you so much!
Haven’t used it yet, it came in a bundle pack. Just subbed
Such a helpful video for a beginner like me !!! Thank you so much
You are very welcome
Had to stop midway to go run out and buy a scraping blade, came back and watched the rest of the video after that. Thanks for great tips!
So glad we could help you
Thanks. I have one and have only used it to remove glue from the floor after removing vinyl tile. Now I know more ways to use this tool. Thanks.
So glad this could help you
Thanks for sharing this fantastic video and your insights 🛠️🪛👍
This was very helpful and insightful. thanks!
Really well done! I subscribed! Thank you!
Great tips!
I find that cutting round stock with the round blades is easier.
Great to know, thank you
Thanks for the TUTORIAL.... I was thinking of buying one to take off the old caulking around my windows & re caulk them .. AND didn’t know they made a special caulking blade ❤❤❤
Finally someone explained hat can I do with that tool. Thank you
Great video brother and a must see for anyone who uses a multi tool. I thought I had a few tricks, but I think you beat me by a few. Killer carpet cutter invention. I use my dull blades to cut old caulking and knock off paint chips. No need to grind down the saw teeth. Just run the blade on cement for a minute or so. The blade can be used on both sides and the tip to demo baseboards, trims etc. without busting up the drywall. The dull blade also works great for knocking off delaminating stucco and removing cement spills/splashes. You should do another video on the difference between a good multi tool and a bad one. The fine line for me is the the high sound that can be deafening and the vibration of the tool when used for prolonged periods of time that can actually cause bodily harm to ones bone joints. I have used Fein, Bosch, Dewalt, and Makita as a professional tradesman/painter. Each tool has its pros and cons and rest assured, blades are not cheap for anyone who is considering buying a multi tool. Thanks for the tips.
It sounds like you would have a lot more experience making a video on the pros and cons of each than I would. I've only had experience with two brands.
Thank you for the tips, they will definitely help others.
Very nice tips. Thank you for sharing!!!
I am a contractor and use this saw in place of a" back saw ", which is used for cutting trim and door casing near floor level. This is done a lot when installing flooring . A scrap piece of the flooring can be used as a gauge for height . Also if the piece you are cutting is loose and wants to vibrate just loosen the pressure and LET THE SAW DO THE WORK on its own . Very light pressure usually works great for faster cuts on everything.
Thank you Bill. We appreciate the great tips.
Great tip
Can you cut a small kitchen size carpet up to remove it
I was in a real jam as I had thicker tile installed and now could not remove the metal skirt on the dishwasher in order to lower the leveling legs and get the machine out. Ended up using an oscillator to cut the metal skirt. Not sure what tool would have done the job with such precision.
@@lindabaker1776
Hello, I'm surprised no one answered you. But I'm sure you got your answer too. In case for anyone else. Use a utility blade, if you have wood floors, especially original, take some pliers, pinch, pull up carpet, with a new blade, begin cutting, avoiding floor damage. Once the hole is big enough, you'll be able to hold carpet up behind the utility blade, but still, be careful.
If the matting cushion is tough to pull up, use your multitool scrapper blade.
Perfect explanation thank you , very helpful.
Tip from a female…Blades: the Ones that are painted, take clear nail polish and when it’s new paint a layer in the measurements… it will last longer, and with the nail polish starts to chip, just add another thin layer of clear polish!
Great tip
Can that tool cut into carpet
Thank you, your idea is completely foreign to me. It's always great to learn something new and different.
David Lixenberg
Always a good idea to lubricate your blades
Thanks for the information
Good video, easy to understand, from the UK thanks.
Great video! I just found your channel and I am a subscriber now. Keep producing good videos.
Thanks. Well done!
Good vid. That tool works like charm. Mega versatile!!! Thanks for sharing and good luck!!! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you
Great Video ! Your shop is an inspiration!!
Things that this tool does that beat other tools: It can replace jig saws for long straight accurate cuts, especially on boards where jigsaw vertical vibrations make accuracy difficult, the horizontal multitool vibrations present no problems. It can cut floor boards on a bevel angle avoiding recessed brad nails, and cut tongue and groove boards so that the original boards may be lifted and replaced without splitting, especially useful for antique boards that have no modern size equivalent, replacing floorboard saws. It can perform partial depth cuts, instead of using chisels. Blades may be narrowed using angle grinders for specific jobs like morticing door fittings, squaring drill holes, or cutting recesses for flush fittings, such as hinges. You can glue fine grit abrasive sheets to old blades for honing cutting edges on various blades, or squaring screwdrivers, or removing rust from blade faces, or old grout from tiles being re-affixed. Plunge cutting can make holes or channels where your drill cannot go, at the back of cabinets, through joists, at the base of skirting boards, for routeing pipes, cables and flexes. If you have a problem without a solution, pick up your multitool and see what possibilities it may offer!
Question for you... I need to go through some 2×4 that termites got to, wondering how deep a plunge cut really goes on this thing. Looked at mini circulars, but still to bulky. For reference, replacing chaser boards on a bow window and some sub framing chewed up. Thinking I can cut it out. But I am cheap. Tool needs to work
@@matthewbailey2013 it depends on the length of the blade you can get. I have seen videos of multitool saw blades extended by welding a section of a new blade to an old one, but there must be a limit, as the amplitude of the oscillation increases with distance from the blade clamp centre. I would use a reciprocating saw on window frames, generally, for added reach, or a pad saw if the material was soft enough, which can be improvised with a hacksaw blade and a handle. Having never encountered termite damage in the UK, I can imagine that it can be knocked out with a chisel and mallet, as fungal rot or woodworm damaged timber would be in my experience. Nowadays you see mini chain saws used to plunge cut holes in panels, and they must have depths in excess of that of a multitool. The next thing will be a handheld laser cutter!
Great expansion on the video contents , Thank You
@@mojopare8954 My pleasure, please expand on this if you discover more possibilities, we all love to learn.
you were never a boy scout, you never had being prepared on hand :)
Great value video, many thanks
Great tips! Thank you.
I just ordered a multitool... this was good for me as a beginner.
Great explanation. Thanks.
I love this thing for plunge cuts.
Nicely done!
My favourite use for this tool is cutting square or rectangular holes in wood, great for mortise and tenon joints etc.
First aid kit in your work area. Very good +1
Love ❤️ your videos from OZ 🇦🇺
Good list of ideas!
Great video, and thanks for not adding background music!
Great tips, Thanks...also like the bloopers.
Thanks for a great video!
these are very useful tools to have
Just awesome 🙏
I almost bought one tonight but was still unsure. I live in a camper. Limited space & money so i really weigh it all out before purchasing.
You have made my mind up😁 thank you sir for doing this video.
Checking out through your links. If I purchase online it will be through here
Love your helpful video
I have a .master craft cord oscillating saw. It.works very well. Ps thanks for new tips . Can't wait for the next one. Keep u the good work.👍👍🍻🍺🇨🇦
It's definitely an underrated tool in my home. I've owned one for around 5 years and I've yet to even take it out of the box yet.
Spot on 😂
I have used mine..a few times..comes in real handy..I should use it more..I am still an amateur with it.
Imagine if it was out of the box how quickly you could open the box with it!
We got and used one to put down a floor in our dining room and it came in super handy. Just realized something else I can use for it building a cabinet for my fiancee that I didn't think of lol
They are amazing tools. I just found a box full of how to use manuals.. Now.. to find all the attachments.
I have them in a box somewhere..
Still learning. Going to enjoy watching this video again.
👍 great job 👏 👍
This looks indispensable in the DIY toolkit. I definitely need to get this.
Harbor Freight has one on clearance for $13.99
Best video yet, ive watched a few!
