I bought a HF multi-tool when I did some remodeling last year.
Basically to cut the door stops near the floor so I could fit
thresholds. *Worked fine.
Also worked well for some sanding in tight spots.
It's not loud at all.
Anticipate using it for cleaning out tile grout and some more
sanding. Otherwise it won't earn back what I paid for it.
It's not for cutting nails or cutting wood except in small amounts.
You're using the wrong tool.


Who is "HF"?


Stick around long enough and you will learn the meaning of HF, and
even HD. Harbor Freight and Home Depot..


I was watching This Old House,and the contractor guy used one of those Fein
Multimasters for sawing and cutouts,and it looked very useful.I've heard
that the variable speed models are better. I wonder if you can use an
incandescent lamp dimmer as a speed control for them? I have one for my
ancient Dremel model 270 Mototool.
