So since you actually own one of these tools, perhaps you can answer a
question: the MultiMaster infomercial shows, among other wondrous
things, a user of the tool pressing the vibrating edge of a tool against
his hand with no damage or injury. Is this something you've been able to
demonstrate to yourself? (Not asking you to potentially slice open your
fingers, just curious.)


Have you ever used a reciprocating saw on an unsupported piece of
lumber? You know how it won't cut it, it just moves the piece up and
down real fast? I'm guessing that's how it would work on your hand.

Since these small reciprocating multi-tools have such a tiny distance of
travel in their reciprocating cycle, I'd speculate that they would just
move your hand (or even just the skin) back and forth a tiny bit. I'd
also speculate that you could hold a piece of wood against it, lightly,
and it wouldn't cut it, but move it back and forth, fast.

My local HF was out of their version, today, but are getting a bunch in
their next truckload.
