im looking into buying a multi-tool and what comes to mind would be the dremel http://www.homedepot.ca/product/dremel-multi-max-kit/916712#BVRRWid...
and rockwell http://www.lowes.ca/products/toolguide.aspx
both are on sale right now for $99 and im hoping to get one before the end of this weekend.
the fein brand is definitely not included because of its price --- im just a weekend woodworker/DIYer so a tool that cost that much is not necessary.
anyone can share insight and infos comparing the 2 products i mentioned above?
would really appreciate it coming from those who have used it.
thank you.

Ken, I'm finished now with the paint removing, thank God.
I used a Paint Shaver Pro ($$$) and its dust tube connected to a hose which ran to an Oneida Dust Deputy dust collector, which got its vacuum from a small shop vacuum. After shaving the paint, I sanded it with 60 grit paper using a Porter-Cable 343VS random orbital sander which I also connected to the dust collecting system.
I'd say I collected 200 lbs or more of paint and sawdust during the project, and my house is just a little one-story place built in 1913! The clapboards look like new lumber.
Hi Tom - Congratulations on getting the worst part of the job done. With everything cleaned up it should be down hill from here.
Those Dust Deputy things are awsome.

Hi Tom,
Thanks for your reply.
That was a big undertaking.
Congrats on your accomplishments.
The next time I have to do a ''big'' paint scraping job, I'll surely look into the ''Paint Shaver''.
The prep work certainly is a big undertaking, and the tool you've used cut down the labor time.

Definitely buy a corded version and consider the new Porter Cable MT which has tool-less blade changes and positive lock for the blade.
Keep in mind that blades are expensive and I have not found one that is extremely durable.
yup, expensive blade attachments!
just make sure to use a particular blade for what its for. dont overwork them is what ive been told.
I made a cupola recently for my new detached garage. Used asphalt shingles on roof. Started cutting/trimming shingles with roofing knife like I always did in past, resulting in blisters on hands, sore wrists, etc.
Then I thought of my multi-purpose tool setting idly in drawer. Man, does that work slick....like a knife cutting thru hot butter. Might be hard on "half moon" shaped blade but well worth it.
Fins59,
I can relate to the pain you've endured.
Cutting/trimming shingles---
Here's what worked best for me---a Roto-Zip tool, with the cut-off wheel fitted into the right-angle attachment.
For close quarters cutting, and the like, the 1" wide saw blade on the Dremel Multi-Max, worked well.
Made the cutting tasks much faster and easier---
it was almost fun.

Ken - You're right, it was actually fun. I don't have Roto-Zip so HF multi-tool (cheapie) has to do.
About 4 years ago I did (by myself) my house/garage - a total of 90 bundles and now recently did my detached garage - about 50 bundles. Cut and trimmed all of that by hand with roofing knife. Now that I'm finished, I discover how easy (and fun) the multi-tool makes the job. (that's usually how it goes:))
John,
I've used the ''masonry'' cutoff wheel,
the rpms on the lowest setting.
There was only a small amount of residue, on the edge, but it kept cutting.

Which cutoff wheel Ken? Seems like most would get gummed up

Hi All.....I have the 35mm Kreg Jig hinge drill guide. The guide is great for 35mm Hinge Cups, but I have a speciality 40MM hinge cup to drill.Has anyone adapted the Kreg guide to work with 40mm Forsner drill bits? Or have a guide that works…Continue

I saw the video Kreg put out for this new jig and had high hopes for it.
I purchased one today and am very disappointed with it.
First the docking station is extremely cheap. The plastic is pathetic. A Lego has more…
