The new OIS accessory system
from Bosch features an adapter
ring to ensure the new accessories work on all the oscillating
tools on the market.
multitool probably won’t deliver
quite the power of some corded
models. However, with batteries
you get unlimited portability with-
out the hassle of a cord tangling
everything else on the jobsite,
and you have the ability to work
in remote areas without a power
supply. Where the Multi-X excels
is in ease of use during targeted
cutting jobs, such as carpentry,
caulk removal, plumbing and dry-
wall cutouts. Jobs that require
long spans of uninterrupted run-
time, such as large sanding jobs,
seem to drink up the battery
power. There is, however, a back-
up battery included with each kit,
quick 30-minute recharge time,
as well as a battery fuel gauge
on the tool that indicates how
much juice is left. Also included
is a charger, carrying case and a
variety of accessories.
