The closest store to me is about 50 miles away. It ended up taking 4 calls to the main customer service number and two phone calls with the "local" store before I could get them to email me a shipping label to return what was delivered to me damaged. The Atomic is NOT smaller or lighter.
Anyone know how the Atomic stacks up against the one posted above? Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank dougietin1? Good deal. Got this last time it was at this price and it works well. The battery that it comes with isn't as nice as other batteries. Doesn't have the indicator lights, but it's another battery. So I don't mind. Quote from HackrDeals :. L6: Expert. Some oscillating tools have variable speed controls, which makes the tool quite a bit more versatile.
Another important number is the oscillation angle, which is a measurement of how far the blade oscillates from side-to-side. Most oscillating tools fall somewhere between 2. As a general rule, the larger the oscillation angle, the faster the tool will get work accomplished, but the lower your level of precise control. For most DIYers, an oscillation angle somewhere in the middle of that range is best, but the perfect number really depends on how you generally use the tool.
An oscillating tool, often called a multi-tool, has numerous uses, making it a very handy addition to your tool box. There is a huge array of attachments and blades available to tackle just about any project you can think of.
Some uses for your oscillating tool include:. You can cut curved or straight lines with an oscillating tool. Make as many passes as necessary to cut through the material. Take care not to press down hard; let the tool do the work. With the right attachment, you can use your oscillating tool to cut, file, trim, and shape tile, even cutting gentle curves or other shapes that go beyond straight lines. You can also use an oscillating tool to make holes in tile, which is sometimes necessary for installations where you need to tile around an outlet, trim, or other obstruction.
