BLACK+DECKER Oscillating Multi-Tool, Variable Speed, 2.5-Amp (BD200MTB)

I always perceived oscillating saws as a gimmick tool you bought from a shopping channel at midnight and personally soldiered on with hand saws, knives and chisels. But to save time during a recent floor job I bought this unit. It was the right price if all I ever did was sand with it. I’ll be using it more. It may lack the power of higher end tools but I don’t notice. (Note: it was rated at 2.5A in the box versus the 2.0A on the Amazon specifications page). Equally, it may be heavier or less ergonomic than other more expensive models but I will never know.The book received with the unit lists

This is my first oscillating multi-tool. When I bought it it was just over $50 here on Amazon. At the time of the writing of this review it has increased in price by about $10, so obviously Black & Decker and Amazon realized that it was too good of a deal at the lower price.Don't worry, it's still a great value at $60-something dollars. I'm not a professional contractor (if I was, I'd drop the $300+ and get a Fein), but I am a fairly heavy-use home user (I am currently doing a whole-house renovation). All I can say is the B&D multi-tool is worth much more than I paid (probably worth $100) when

Oh yes, I love this tool. I bought it remove the grout from the kitchen tile. That job took a long while but then I imagine the time if I had done it by hand! My second use was to get the caulk out from around the bath. I used the saw blade for that and it, again, did an outstanding quick job. It really dug out that old caulk. Today I used it to remove carpet pad that had been glued to the floor. I used the smooth scraper blade for this job and it just ate it up. Again, it saved me hours of work. I bet I could have cut the carpet with it, if I had just thought about it.Tomorrow the job is to c

I'm a intermediate type woodworker, nothing to fancy, and have used both the saw and sanding pads of this tool.The tool cuts very cleanly and accurately I've found but taper your cuts or you risk burning the wood.The sanding pads it comes with are very nice to use and good in some strange corners.Changing between add-ons is easy, just please remember to let the tool cool before you go for the change.I don't have any fancy by the numbers information as I myself am still learning.Down side of the tool is that it can at times feel awkward to hold.Overall this is a fantastic addition if you're a h

Writing a review for the Oscilating Tool is simple, IT'S GREAT. I have used this tool for same level cutting to make room for carpet at a doorway; I removed old flooring with the spade attachment, which made a tough job simple; I use the mouse sander head to sand the trim around a difficult door jamb and worked like a dream. And just today I tried out the variable speed on a sanding job with water putty and what a super feature. I would recommend this tool to anyone looking to save money and have a multi-purpose tool for many projects.The rotary tool has not received as much of a workout yet,

I just got the B&D 200MTB today. I'm in the middle of fixing up all the annoying upkeep jobs that come with owning a house, and I found myself in need of versatile tool that can cut and sand in tight spaces– B&D 200MTB to the rescue! I sanded a large portion of wood siding that had long since been exposed to water, with wood rot becoming increasingly apparent. Yesterday I had filled all the exposed space that exists after the rot removal with "Great Stuff" foam, and let it harden over night. With the B&D 200MTB and its quick change cutting tool, I cut and shaped the excess hardened foam with e

I never realized how much I would like this product. I saw a friend use one of his own and I was sold! This has proved useful for me both indoors and Outdoors.

This tool is amazing, powerful and versatile but you will need to get extra adapters to do different things. The worse is the sanding adaptor. The hook and loop system of attaching attaching sand paper is good in theory but, in practice, leaves a lot to be desired. Initially you are able to sand, but eventually the little felt on the back of the sand paper sheets wears out and detaches from the back of the sand paper sheets, loosing adherence to the oscillating multi tool business end, resulting on no sanding effect on the wood or whatever you are working on. However, that is not the fault of
