It does nothing. I'm not thinking well of Chicago Tools at the
moment. Recommendations, exchange or buy another brand?

If it is going to get a lot of use why not buy a good one? *harbor
freight power tools are pretty much low end tools that might be a good
fit for an occasional user.


Because a "good" one costs from three (Dremel) to 15 (Fein) times as much.


Harbor Freight: $70
Dremel: $100


3 x 70 = 100? New math?


Harbor Freight has one that is almost always on sale for $34. It's
built like a tank.- Hide quoted text -

Different models:

Single speed ($34)
Variable Speed ($70)

3 x 34 = ~100
3 x 70 = well, a bit more.

P.S. If it were built like a tank it would have a gun turret, tracks,
a 100mm gun or maybe a M-67 flamethrower. My $34 HF MultiFunction tool
didn't come with any of those features.
