Also worked well for some sanding in tight spots.

Never tried for that.


The triangle shaped pad does the job in corners, and the sanding disks
are stiff and have some overhang so they go right into 90 degree
edges.
Have to say I only sanded some softened varnish and water staining
off some Anderson windows. Wood was pretty soft too.
Maybe 45 minutes of sanding use.
A drum sander on a drill might have done as well except for the
corners, Would have been harder to handle than the multi-tool.
I'll pick up the multi-tool first for that window job.

It's not loud at all.

Working inside, I disagree.

I bought the variable speed, but full out it's still low volume to me.
Compared to my saw and belt sander for sure.

Anticipate using it for cleaning out tile grout and some more
sanding.

I've used it for grout but found it very slow. Especially on very old
grout. Crappy HF blades I assume. What literally rips through grout,
and I mean like a few feet per minute, is a Rotozip with a diamond
blade.


I'll keep that in mind. (-:

p.s. forgot to mention. I'm sure you're aware but for the benefit of
others...when it comes to corners/edges with grout removal, an
oscillating tool with the half-moon carbide blade is the cats meow.
Something a Rotozip can't do. Another example of right tool for the right
job even if it's a HF cheapie.
