Rockwell RK5101K Sonicrafter 37-Piece kit

Brand: Rockwell
Feature

    * Safe cutting – unique high frequency osilation only cuts hard materials, so the users hands and fingers are much safer than a saw that rotates.
    * Smooth running – there are no fast spinning parts or alternating blades creating movement of the tool, only a high requency oscillating action resulting in no kickbacks.
    * Sonicrafter throws a very low level of dust whether you’re sanding, cutting or scraping.
    * Up to the edge and corners – with Sonicrafter you can get into difficult to reach areas that is not possible with a corded saw or jigsaw or even most sanders.
    * High sanding capacity – with virtually no force or downward pressure required.

Rockwell RK5101K Sonicrafter Review
I had seen a video promo on TV about this product and it does everything it promised. I especially love it for working on crown mouldings and baseboards as we live in a very old house and I am currently renovating….As a female hobbyist I find this tool very easy to use and to handle. I would recomend it as a must to any workshop.

I bought this product for a specific purpose (removal of a broken tile). It did the job well enough, but I found, as other reviewers have done,that the attachment screw worked loose very easily. This problem was reduced when I placed less pressure on the machine and let it do the job itself. I think it will prove to be a useful enough tool to have around, especially for smaller cutting and sanding jobs. However, it is expensive.

Used tool to cut door moulding bottoms in preparation for laying tile. Worked great!! Especially liked ability to mount blade at ~90 degree angle to get into a corner. Blade cut the moulding like butter. Initially, blade vibrated loose, but tightened the screw a little tighter and had no more problems. Tool is reasonably quiet–more of a low level hum than a buzz. Comes with decent case. Definitely would buy again.

I’ve used this tool while remodeling my bathroom this month. I cut an exact rectangle in the bottom of a cabinet to accommodate an air conditioning duct and it fit perfect. I used the scraper to get old lining paper out from the drawers. I sanded in tight places that I normally would have to do by hand. I have never had such an exact cutting and sanding tool like the Sonicrafter. This is the perfect tool if remodeling is the job your doing.

So, this is my first weekend with 37-pice Sonicrafter. The job is to strip layers of old paint from a metal radiator cover. I mounted the scraper on, dialed up the variable speed to recommended high and went ahead only applying gentle pressure. After 5 minutes I had to remove my hand from the metal front area. It became way too hot to touch. As a matter of fact, I would never use any other tool at this temperature. To Sonicrafter’s credit it didn’t produce any smoke and kept turning it off every 10-12 minutes. Contacted Rockwell’s Customer Service and was advised to exchange the unit. At this point I am not sure if exchange is the right way. Maybe I should shell out more dollars and step up to Multimaster?

Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Review
This is an expensive tool with expensive accessories, but in my opinion well worth it. I am an auto mechanic by trade and a homeowner that loves and appreciates quality time saving tools. Since my purchase 2 months ago I have used this tool to pattern cut and install a bath surround, cut and install plastic molding(using a simple adjustable square),trimmed out paneling while on the wall, removed a glued vinyl bathroom floor (with ease), plunge cut and removed damaged soffit material( with such precision that the removed wood could be used as a pattern for the new replacement wood)and scrape old paint off my house corners and soft fits. I am very impressed with the tool quality and ease of changing attachments. The profile sanding attachment works good. The storage box could be of better quality but it serves it’s purpose. If I were to purchase this again I would probably buy a bare bones kit and choose my accessories separately. I have some attachments I will probably never use and would gladly trade for more wood and metal cutting blades. Hope this helps you out!

After working for hours, trying to remove old carpet from our RV, I knew there had to be a better way. When I saw the advertisement for the Fein on television, I just had to give it a try. My husband thought I was nuts for spending that much on a tool, but when he used it to cut sheet rock for our new den, he changed his mind. We also used it when we remodeled a bathroom. It worked well for smoothing out the rough surface under the tile we had removed. The attachments are a little expensive, but worth it if you have a back breaking job to do. I’m so glad I took a chance, and purchased the MultiMaster.

My cousin let me borrow his and I was hooked. I bought one specifically to help with installing some replacement windows. The e-cut blade was superior to a reciprocating saw or hacksaw for cutting through nails to remove trim. You don’t have to worry about it plunging farther than you want. Scraper blade removes caulk with almost no effort.

I hemmed and hawed over this purchase for months before I talked to someone in a forum about it. They had the older, single speed model and loved it. I decided to go with that one, the “start” kit at about $180. I have no doubt that had I got this deluxe kit, or even tried the quick change version I would have been spoiled for life and could never go back to my bare bones model, but since I paid less than half for mine and have never known the sweet taste of VS or quick change blades I am as happy as can be. My advice is do not wait any longer to get a MM. It is worth it and you will not regret it, but if you can’t swallow the big price go for the older cheaper model. You will still be able to do everything you want this tool for, just not as luxuriously.

Rockwell RK5102K Sonicrafter Deluxe 72-pc Kit Review
I had looked at the Fein Multimaster, but couldn’t justify the price. I bought the Sonicrafter specifically to sand between the rails of a baby crib I built for my daughter. This tool will see as much use as my random orbital sander! It’s very well made, and does a superb job. A couple of experiential comments: 1. The tool is a fast worker, let IT do the work for you. 2. The dust collection attachment gets in the way, and is useless. 3. I haven’t found a source for sanding pads that fit, except Rockwell, and they’re relatively expensive.

We are in the process of remodeling our kitchen. We needed a handy tool. Rockwell become kind of disappointment. It feel good in your hands. Looks solid. That is positive, on negative side: blades are expensive, cheaply made – becoming dull just after few uses. Tool gets hot really quickly. Blades are becoming loose after few uses, no matter how hard you try to tight them up. In conclusion I think this tool is design for small jobs and only occasional use not for serious jobs.

It seemed like the answer, but created another question…why would Rockwell attach it’s name to a tool that burns more wood than it saws?? The apparatus for attaching the various blades is suspect at best. I broke the segmented saw blade first time out. Other attachments kept coming lose as well. It’s not rocket science, but those items with a flush mount are suspect. Those with recessed mount are much better, i.e. the sanding attachment and carbide segmented saw blade. The head and blades do get very hot, and I wasn’t doing anything terribly complicated! It is a great sander, but the price is a bit high. There’s a reason why (when affordable) we opt for German engineering. Though I haven’t tried the Fein model, I know it’s blades attach differently (and hopefully) more securely!

In my admittedly limited use of the product so far, I have been very pleased with its versatility and usability. The weight of the product which, at first, seemed to be a liability, actually allows greater control of the tool by providing stability when cutting or sanding. Unlike a rotary tool (like a Dremel), the Sonicrafter stays where you put it and since the blade oscillates instead of rotating, it doesn’t generate nearly as much dust or debris. The contents of the 72 piece kit appear to be well thought out. The small sanding pad has been especially useful; allowing work in tight spaces without disassembling the project. I have not made use of the dust collection system included with the 72-piece kit, so I can’t comment on its efficacy except to say that it doesn’t interfere with the use of the Sonicrafter. I’ve been able to complete all my projects with it in place. A very solidly built and well thought out product.
