chicago electric oscillating multifunction power tool accessories made in china

I love posts by someone who has never used the tool. I have used many oscillating tools and the HF one is awesome and the single speed can be found on sale for $29 with attachments. “*may* be better than no multi-tool at all”…what arrogance!

BUT, I obviously am biased against cheap tools. Inexpensive tools are fine by me, which is how I often describe cheap tools that have proven their quality. Some people treat these Chicago Electric tools as disposable – one breaks down and they purchase another or trade in the bad one for a replacement.

In terms of why I said a cheap multi-tool *may* be better than none, I have seen where bad quality or badly designed tools and equipment made a situation far worse than if an alternative tool or even a hand tool were used instead.

I re-read the comments from the original post and didn’t come to the conclusion you did at all. The one review that didn’t like the tool hasn’t tried one. Most of those that did liked it a lot, and a few commenters had some concern about the longevity of the blades and attachments. Even you threw out a faith-based review, stating that you “believe that the major brands produce far superior offerings”. Come on, try one and see how it holds up first before you make a statement like that!
