*Love this **MyBest.Tools** have the original dremel oscillating tool but it's corded which is fine in many instances but this is so versatile. Must have for any tool monger like me.*
I’m a retired carpenter home improvement contractor and have been working in this field for over sixty years . Even at my age I still love doing projects around my home, It’s very refreshing watching you with your exceptional knowledge of tools and overall home improvement videos, Don’t stop doing what you love to do 🥰
As an electrician that does strictly remodels this is an absolute essential tool. th-cam.com/users/postUgkx0vyBwjtx9GGOuiqUVT2sRoYqmDoNT_RI Being able to precision cut any material with a light weight tool is priceless.I upgraded to this Dewalt 20v from a competitor's 12v. The Dewalt 20v is just as light as the competitor's 12v. I am extremely pleased with the overall performance and battery life of this tool. As far as oscillators go, they just aren't very ergonomic tools. The dewalt oscillators have an offset handle that do make them somewhat more ergonomic than the competitors' oscillators.
I’m happy you are doing this video, as I’m not as familiar with these as I’d like to be, not to mention I think I am vastly underusing this thing….especially considering how much you love yours!
A cousin introduced me to “wonder saws” (as I call them 😎) when I helped him with a project. Super-handy tool! I bought a battery-op version; have only used it a couple times so far but glad to have it. Thanks for some great tips!! 👍👍
As a landlord I keep a multi-tool in my emergency bag in my car.I have used it so many times for some of the weirdest applications.. these are good tips and recommendations.
Great video! I've been thinking about buying a multi tool so the timing of this video is perfect! You're very articulate and explain things concisely with the right amount of detail. I guess I'll stop procrastinating and pick one up. Thanks!
@@h.collier3544 I also was a slow convert to multi tool but in the 7+ years I have had one, there’s numerous times when NO other tool would have been able to solve the problem! It’s almost like an electric chisel.
When installing cabinets, especially remodels where trim is more likely to be in the way, these are literally the best thing since sliced bread, maybe better! Cheers!
Thanks for the helpful reminders. I waited until the after holiday sale and found sets that were good buys having all the blades you mentioned with extra pieces for the detail sanders. Yes not forcing the tool on the material helps to keep your blade from premature wearing. Great advice as usual. Keep the projects coming. One day I hope to show some of my projects online. 👍🏼
Super insight on the Oscillating Multi-Tool. This tool will get the job done when nothing else can. You are very complete in your video and thanks for it. I would add one note on the sanding tool. The edge of the sand paper will create an undercut on the wall you are sanding up to, so be very careful. I learned this the hard way. Thanks Melissa!
I love that you do tool education videos as well as projects. Just used a multi tool today to cut drywall for a new switch. Way better than a drywall knife (or box cutter ha).
As the song says "it's given me good vibrations" You're 100% correct. Let the tool do the work. There's a distinct correlation between material being cut and tool oscillating speed.
I also was a slow convert to multi tool but in the 7+ years I have had one, there’s numerous times when NO other tool would have been able to solve the problem! It’s almost like an electric chisel. Now having two of them (in both winter and summer homes), the one that is used most often (due to more projects there) has a variable speed trigger so a light touch means a minimal amount of blade movement and that is critical in getting started in some places. So having a fixed speed dial (my cheaper Harbor Freight one) like in video is tolerable but not nearly as good. One tip: When possible, cut at an angle with those straight blades in wood to help get sawdust out of cut. Plunge cut to begin or finish up if something behind item being cut.
I'm not going to lie. I learn a lot from watching your DIY videos! But I also watch it because you are so awfully beautiful from head to toes! I know your hubby must be so proud of you! What a very lucky guy! I look forward to seeing what you do next!
Great video as usual, and not many people are aware of the multitude of uses of this tool as well as how easy it is to use (as you illustrated!). Just used mine to cut some hard to reach PVC by the water softener. Fun Trivia: You know what the Popes favorite power tool is? a cathedrill (Corny Dad joke 😁)
Excellent presentation of the info, I got one of these several years into doing my own home improvements. Treated it like a sawz-all and thought it was useless at first. Totally - not- the way to use it.
Yup, as the sawz-all is for rough cuts and the oscillating for the very fine cuts. And places where you can’t get/have the blade go deeper than material you’re cutting.
If you already have battery tools from a particular brand, adding another tool is probably ok but I like my corded ones as no worry about running out of power.
Very interesting as usual. I constructively suggest more care with the environment where you record as to keep the quality of the sound matching the quality of the contents. Cheers!

Hi I just recently had came across your videos should I already picked up what the person was but I liked it and anyways you mentioned see Jane drill I seen that video about the blades she is one of my favorites as well been for a long time but I'm going to subscribe to your site you seem pretty knowledgeable and when I first got this I think I got the app ID Rockwell I was intimidated and I'm not intimidated of anything so I never bothered using it and I took it back to the store year later I'm like seen it on sale on all hell I've got some very like 1966 small little bitty house you know awkward positions were it's impossible to get to that Old sawmill wood well I need to say I fell in love with this gadget love love thanks
i bought a WEN multitool $43 and milwaukee nitrl carbide extreme metal blade $20 and cut my shocks off my Ford superduty truck. took under 2 minutes on each 5/8" upper shock. well worth the $65 dollars!
Blades for these tools are ridiculously expensive up here in Canada, lve found the exchange-a-blade at Rona are a great option. They work well & you get money back on the used ones on return. Better for the wallet & the environment 😁
I use mine all the time. The only thing I dislike is that I have an older one that it is a chore to replace blade do to the allen key version and if your not careful could come loose.
I've seen these over the years and have yet to get one. Are you still happy with the brand you have or would you elect for a different brand after your experience with this one? Thanks from Cambridge.
I actually just bought the DeWalt one linked in the description on this video because it's such a great sale price! I like my Rockwell one, but I'm going for cordless this time around so it's even more versatile.
Here's a tip for you Melissa. If you ever need to cut foam, take one of your dullest blades and file off the teeth completely. Then sharpen it like a knife edge. Works like a charm.
The #1 rule of power tools is to allow the tool to do the work. If you need to force it, speed, sharpness, or type of blade is usually not optimal. The same is true of drills, and other saws etc. Learning to sharpen a drill is beyond the scope of many home DIYer's because they wouldn't do it often enough to stay in practice. I use the local sharpening guy on many things, others I do myself (40 years as an industrial maintenance tech). If you need a sharpening guy, talk to beauticians (Though I think industry standard is to send them in) or a pet groomer (that's how I found my guy). As a bonus when you need kitchen knives sharpened, you'll "have a guy".
The people in marketing seem to push larer cutter ark swings as more premium. Of my two oscillating tools I like the smaller ark as it kicks back less when hitting obstructions and vibrates less. Yes it's slower cutting but these tools are not a good choice for speed anyway.
Another important tip is don't ever overestimate what a multitool can do. They aren't a do it all tool by any means. Use them for specific issues that need to be resolved.
Just out of curiosity, I've seen you own a lot of RIGID tools and I know RIGID has two battery multi-tools (one which is a revised version of the original). I owned a RYOBI before and it failed. Upon looking at reviews, many have the same issues and I'm thinking of getting a RIDIG Multi-Tool this time. Do you know anyone who owns one or perhaps did you get yourself one and how is the quality so far?
I know a contractor who uses only Rigid, including the oscillating tool, because of the battery warranty. He says all perform adequately, none are outstanding. But the warranty is the deal maker for him.
I highly recommend you watch this regarding oscillating tool blades. th-cam.com/video/joVfNnbweYY/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zLjau8Zp_jkkh_if and this th-cam.com/video/xWF0taZV7CA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=v3JW_ymHRmj-AEZz These should give you a good idea about the best blades (Diablo and that's true for your recip saw too) and which blades to use.

This is so timely Melissa! I just got one of these. And I love See Jane Drill as well. You are so inspiring. Thanks!
I recently ventured into using a multi tool to remove some sheetrock. I wished I had seen this video before that, I learned alot. Thank You!
A cousin introduced me to “wonder saws” (as I call them 😎) when I helped him with a project. Super-handy tool!
I bought a battery-op version; have only used it a couple times so far but glad to have it.

Very helpful topic and presentation. Thank you.

See Jane Drill has helped me so much to improve my DIY Skills. I have build a 26 ft by 22 ft Patio Cover for woodworking, BBQ and Family gatherings.
Never thought of a "dull blade as a scraper" idea, perfect!
Good information...thanks. Have a corded multi-tool and recently bought a cordless one...game changer.
I don’t use mine very often but there are some applications where it is a game changer. It’s a must have tool for sure.
Great video! I've been thinking about buying a multi tool so the timing of this video is perfect! You're very articulate and explain things concisely with the right amount of detail. I guess I'll stop procrastinating and pick one up. Thanks!
That DeWalt I linked to in the description is on a great sale right now. I just bought one for myself!

Hi Melisa, Great video, I could watch you for hours talking about anything, you are so pretty!
Your channel is awesome! thanks so much for this content, it's really great.
Thanks so much Mel! I have a habit of forcing my tool to go faster! Your tips help!

I've got one of these and definitely need to be using it more!
Hi Melissa and thanks for this. I never could get those darn things to work lol. This was very helpful!
Great video!!!! Very informative. Keep up the great work gorgeous!!!
I'm going to use it also for sharpening my kitchen chef and edc knives.
Hi Melissa,
Super great tools.
Thanks for sharing
Who taught you all these skills??? Absolutely incredible.
Unfortunately trial and error, did you see those old blades? Lol
Really instructive video thank you - I am considering buying a multitool so your tips and experiences were really helpful

Very informative I'm actually going to get one just got done talking about it, THANK YOU, love your videos.
Great advise 💯🎯
I love smart and such Tools
I like it, thank you .
that was very helpful! thank you.
Very useful, thank you, Melissa)
I need a multi tool. Battery or cord? Thanks for the awesome video.
If you already have battery tools from a particular brand, adding another tool is probably ok but I like my corded ones as no worry about running out of power.
you are very attractive and you voice on your videos are soothing. your work is top notch! thank you!!
nice presentation lady
I'm quite happy with my Fein Supercut. 🙂
I use carbide tipped and they're expensive but they're worth it
Great information. Thanks!
Very interesting as usual.

I have the same multi tool here in the UK but it's sold under the Worx brand 😅
Thanks 😊😊
