High-Frequency Oscillation for Smooth, Safe Precision For the safest and most accurate work, the RK5107K features super high-frequency oscillation technology.

The instruction book could be 100% better ? September 7, 2010 William Goodman (Grand Coulee, WA.) So far I have only used it to smooth out my nylon cutting board & it did a really good job;but it was only by trial & error that I finally did it. The tool comes with one of the worst instruction books that I have ever seen for something that's does so many different things. I don't think that I will ever know how to work half of them !!!!
How Many Pieces? September 7, 2010 DM Nice tool preety much as advertised. "73-piece" set a little deceptive as most of the pieces consist of multiple "pieces" of sand paper. Still a nice tool.
Rock Solid Tool September 7, 2010 Gromit (San Francisco, CA) After reading all the other reviews on this tool, I almost didn't buy one. However, I am glad I took the plunge! The good news: the blades have not shaken loose on me once. I don't know what other reviewers are talking about. I think you just have to tighten the nut enough. I have used this tool many times over the last two weekends whilst rebuilding a porch. I'll admit the nut holding the blade does have a shallow hole for the hex key, and I've felt more than once that I might strip it if I tightened too much. Luckily, nothing like that has happened yet. I used the RW9123.3 Sonicrafter 1-3/8-Inch Precision End Cut Blade to plunge cut into some rotting & termite infested wood sub-flooring from beneath the house. This tool was perfect for plunge cutting away the sub-flooring that was being held up by beams and joists. I marked the blade with masking tape to know how deep I could go with the blade to prevent cutting into the wood floor above. I don't know how else I could have accomplished this same task. The SoniCrafter tool is solidly built and is hefty in my hands. After running awhile it does get a little warm, but isn't uncomfortable to hold. May be too large and heavy for those used to smaller devices such as Dremel tools.
Now the not so good news about the other "Universal" Blades included with this kit. I tried one to see if it would cut thru nails that were holding the sub-flooring to the joists. The SoniCrafter tool is perfect for such a tight squeeze space, but the blades just don't hold up. Other reviews are right on the money about going thru one blade per nail. These "Universal" blades are too soft and dull quickly.
I highly recommend the SoniCrafter tool for use with wood cutting projects. Also, if you like hard plastic cases, spend the extra dollars to get the kit with the hard plastic case instead of the poly zip bag. It's a nice case that holds the SoniCrafter tool, another smaller box with all the blades and pads, and the vacuum attachment device.
I gave four out of five stars only because there's no quick release option and the "Universal" Blades are nearly useless.
PROS:
*Tool fits into hard to reach angles/areas
*Tool is solidly built
*Does good job when used to cut wood
*Easy to use
Cons:
*No quick release
*Universal Blades worthless for cutting into nails
*Shallow hex-shaped hole for tightening nut
*Poorly written manual
My crafter September 6, 2010 Al everyone who does anything around the house or even just a crafter would love this tool, it's like having a tool connected to your eyes and brain. it does anything.
Rockwell SoniCrafter September 6, 2010 Media Guy (East of California) This tool is fantastic. It made quick work out of a small project I had cutting out three layers of a built-up floor molding. It will take the place of several tools. It is powerful and well built. A quick release would make this tool perfect.
The blades seem kind of high although buying through Amazon will keep that cost down somewhat.
