SKIL PWR CORE 20 20-volt Cordless Variable speed Oscillating Multi-Tool ( 1 -Batteries Included and

has potential to be a great low budget option

not as impressive as the 12v product line but it does do it's job. probably would be alot better in the brushless version. I haven't used this much but I do like the concept and capability of this tool. it comes with a zipper pouch with belt loop that holds your Allen key, blades and sanding pads/attachment and other accessories which I thought was excellent. the build quality for this model wasn't up to my standards, I've only used this thing not even a handful of time and I've already had some...

Very handy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I never thought I would use a multi-tool until I got one to use on a boat remodeling project. I built a new larger bow deck over the original lower deck. I used this tool to remove carpet adhesive and it worked slick. I could not have done anything like this by hand. Then later in the lower stow I removed more carpeting and cleaned up the adhesive from the aluminum hull very easily. Then I sued it to help cut apart old wooden handles from the o...

Useful

I have only used my oscillating saw for a small project, but I foresee it being very helpful for squaring up inside corners and I think that I might be able to use it to remove caulking in my bathroom prior to a recaulking.

Great kerf tool!

Purchased this tool to retrofit a door frame with a kerf into which to insert weatherstrip. The door jamb was already in place, but I didn't have a sawblade thin enough to make a kerf snug enough anyway. I tested it a bit ( had never used an oscillating tool before), then went to work. Would have been better to have a slightly thicker blade, but after some practice I was able to cut a nice kerf in the cedar posts. The tool is easy to use, the power control is nice, it is well-balanced. And the s...

Good value, just slightly inconvenient

Solid build, power, good battery life. Only knock would be changing the blade with an easy-to-lose small Allen wrench. But 5 stars for price/performance.

Battery life

As the battery is reaching the end of its life, the user isn’t getting full power from the motor. I found this out while sanding and when I changed batteries, it came back to life. I didn’t notice it was running at reduced power until I heard and felt the difference after changing the battery. I was probably running the tool at reduced capacity for about 10-15 minutes. The battery life indicator on the back of the battery showed I still had one and a half bars left. I thought there would be a sh...

Great multi-tool

First impression when opening the box was that it doesn't look like what I remember SKIL being. It looks like a more expensive tool. I charged the battery, which charged fairly quickly... I used this to sand down the sill in my windows that need to be repainted. It's got plenty power, is easy to hold onto, and comes with all the attachments you need for basic work. Changing the attachments is super easy and quick. Overall, this multi-tool works great. Nice to not have to drag around ...

Great tool!

Great little device. Wish I had gotten it years ago. Very handy gets in the small little areas. We can't wait to play with it again. Got it on sale Christmas time too :-)

Great product! Quick change and vibration dampened

On most of these reviews, I add the caveat: "for the price." Not on this one. Not sure of the long term, but so far, it's absolutely stellar!

Nice cordless tool

I haven't used it yet but I think it's going to be a great replacement for my corded tool. I have a half dozen other Skil 20vdc tools and love them all.
