I have never had an oscillating tool like this before, so I cannot compare it to dedicated tools of this type. What I can say however that I'm amazed at what this tool can do, and surprised at how well it does it. So versatile.Seems well made, operates well and used standard blade attachments. From flush cutting finish jobs, cutting rigid insulation, cutting plumbing pipes, sanding and shaving off some parts with just a too snug fit - this attachment is amazing. It is a joy removing grout, and much faster than manually scraping it out, and the vibration scraper blade makes tearing up old linoleum quick and easy. Even scrapes paint well. I never knew these tools could do so much. For about $30, and with many high reviews I figured I'd give it a shot - it has extended the use of my Matrix system in a big big way. My only regret is waiting to add this to my Matrix system, should've added it first thing. Amazingly versatile, effective and affordable. This is perhaps my most used Matrix accessory, seems it always comes out on every project.
