Basics
- A Power Tool that oscillates a blade at a high frequency
- Attatchments similar to a Sanding Block can also be attatched, if the quality of a Random Orbital Sander is not needed
- Major use is for cutting Drywall for Outlets (and essentially anything that is not square, for that a Hole Saw / Hole Saw Kit can be used)
- Often called "Multitools" as a longer form name that is sometimes used is "Oscillating Multitool"
- The Masonry Blades are also of use supposedly quite useful for applications where a SDS Rotary Hammer Drill wouldn't be used
Industry Standards
- Dewalt and Milwaukee are what i have seen, looking for more deatails now
Internal Links
- Recipricating Saw (Can be used in similar situations, although it can be less "gentle" and more bulky, single handed options don't have as much of the bulkyness issue)
