SHALL Oscillating Tool, 500W Oscillating Multitool Kit with 5° Oscillation Angle, Quick Change & Kickback Protection, 6 Variable Speeds, Auxiliary Handle, 34Pcs Saw Accessories and Carry Bag Included

I bought this to complete a small roofing job. I didn't want to spend a lot, so bought this on the strength of other reviews.I was very careful with the plastic blade removal locking mechanism as I had read other reviewers saying that it had snapped. Forewarned is forearmed and so I was careful to hold the latch close to the tool, rather than use the leverage to open and close. I can see how this will be a weak point, but I think if you're careful you can avoid this happening.The tool is really good. I used it to cut multiple lengths of awkward wood cuts and cut nail heads flush. The supplied blades are not great quality, but because the tool uses a common blade type, better blades can be purchased. The metal one was blunt after cutting through 8 nails. The wood blade fared better and completed all the wood cuts I needed to do.I'm really pleased with the tool and it's paid for itself easily with just one job. I'll buy some better blades at some point.It's so easy and light to use, and with 6 speeds, it's very controllable. It's definitely powerful enough for any home DIY jobs.Even if it be breaks on my next job, I won't be upset, although I can't see any reason why it will as it seems pretty well put together.Very happy with this purchase.

At 500W this multi tool is, on the face of it, at least twice as powerful as other offerings in the price range. When a manufacturer makes wattage claims they are on pretty safe grounds as the majority of consumers will not be able to verify the claim. But this tool does deliver very close to that power and it is very noticeable in use. I can't comment on the arc claim of 5 degrees.The tool is very solid, heavy die cast where it matters and feels well balanced. The lead is noticeably more flexible that many other PVC mains leads, making storage easier when packing away in the well made case which comes with it. The case is impressive, like a Gladstone bag, but like many users I will be putting it aside in favour of a hard case with room for accessories to be randomly scattered around the bottom, affording me the opportunity to scrabble around with a stick looking for the blade I need.It cuts accurately - vertical blade movement is minimal. It is relatively quiet, although they are all a bit annoying to the ears. The blade lock works well and stiff enough to inspire confidence without being difficult to operate.If you are comparing this to a battery version, just remeber you will spend far more time changing and charging batteries than you would running a lightweight extension lead and plugging it in.A++ recommendation. Only just bought it so can't comment on durability; if it falls to bits in a week, you'll hear about it here...

Had this for over a year and worked really well to cut and sand in general but one day the locking lever for the blade completely snapped meaning it was un-usable. Did get a refund but wasn’t ideal.

I recently got my hands on the SHALL Oscillating Multi Tool, and let me tell you, it's a game-changer! This thing is like the Swiss Army Knife of power tools - versatile, compact, and ready for anything.First off, the build quality is top-notch. It feels sturdy in your hands, and you can tell it's made to last. The ergonomic design makes it easy to handle, even for a DIY enthusiast like me who's not a pro.Now, let's talk about versatility. The SHALL Multi Tool comes with a variety of attachments that make it a true jack-of-all-trades. Whether I'm sanding, cutting, or scraping, this tool handles it all with ease. The oscillating motion is smooth, providing precise control and preventing any unnecessary vibrations.One of my favorite features is the quick-change system for swapping out accessories. It's a time-saver, especially when you're in the middle of a project and don't want to fumble around with tools.The variable speed control is another winner. It allows me to tailor the tool's performance to different materials and tasks. From delicate work on softwood to tackling tougher jobs like cutting through metal pipes.The noise level is as you would expect without being overly grating.In conclusion, the SHALL Oscillating Multi Tool has become my go-to for a wide range of tasks. It's reliable, versatile, and just plain fun to use. Highly recommended!Now I will go back to cutting up everything I can find. haha

I bought this to replace my old Parkside ALDI/LIDL unit, whose power switch had failed, and which used an allen key to fit/remove blades. The flip-lever quick blade change mechanism on this unit is SO much more convenient - fitting and changing blades/attachments takes seconds, and it feels like it holds it really securely. It will take both the style of blades with a gap at the back of the tool end, as supplied with the unit, as well as the ones with a complete circle as were used with my old unit - which is nice, as I had a variety of blades I'd bought for the old unit which I wanted to be able to still use.This unit is more powerful than my last, feels well balanced and good quality, and has powered through the few jobs I've used it for so far with ease. The screw in handle (angle-grinder style) is a nice addition for extra control in some cases, but I've not really needed it much yet.I also much prefer the quite decent fabric toolbag it's supplied in to the blow-moulded plastic case my old one was in, as it was always tricky to get the cable to stay in the right place to close the case without trapping it - no problems here (and if the unit does eventually fail, the bag will still be useful for other tools).One feature this doesn't have which my old ALDI/LIDL Parkside unit had was dust extraction - but truth be told the dust extraction fitting on the old unit was so unwieldy and awkward that I very rarely used it anyway, oscillating multitools don't exactly blow dust everywhere so it's not too hard to clean up afterwards!
