I bought the Craftsman cordless version and it is a pretty neat tool.
That sounds like a decent price on one so I so FO!

Good little tool, but do not expect very accurate cuts due to the nature of the design.
The blades do not last long if you cut a lot of metal though. |

The Sonicrafter has fast become my go-to tool for almost anything. I remodeled a bathroom last year - I used the Sonicrafter more than any other tool in my arsenal: Removing old grout; cutting PVC pipe; removing integral door stop molding; plunge-cutting wainscotting for electrical boxes; removing old adhesive under the old marble threshold; etc., etc..
Much cheaper than Fein, but just as good, AFAIC. The blades are cheaper, too. |

I'm going to buy the Harbor Freight version. If I use it enough that it goes tits up I may then replace it with a name brand tool. If I don't, then I'm only out $30 to have a tool in the shed for the occasional job.

I bought one a little while back. Haven't used it too much yet, but what I have done with it worked great. I'm glad I bought it.
I almost didn't buy it because I saw some reviews complaining of the attachments loosening during use, but I haven't had the slightest problem. You never know when a bad review is due to user error, which is what I suspect here. |

If you spend enough time around tools and in the store, you can develop a pretty good "feel" for what is a good value and what is complete shit. Their ratcheting box end wrenches for instance, are the best ones I've ever laid hands on, for a fraction of the price of GearWrench or Craftsman. |

It looks fein. Looks fien to me as well.
But seriously...I have a Sonicrafter, it works like it's supposed to, but does get a little hot with prolonged use. ETA: the plastic case that the blades and sandpaper came in sucks. |
