It comes with a 2.0Ah PWRCore 20 lithium battery that has a PWRAssist USB port and a PWRJump charger, so you can charge your tools.
Longer run time and battery life: Industry-leading PWRCore 20 lithium battery technology wraps each cell in a cooling material to keep it running for 25% longer run time and twice as long.
As soon as you turn on autoPWRJump, you’ll be charged from 0% to 25% in just 5 minutes, or from 0% to 100% in 45 minutes (based on a 2.0Ah battery).
Plug in to the battery’s USB port with PWRAssist Mobile Charging wherever and whenever you want to get some extra power.
Its digital brushless motor is efficient and high-performance, which means it lasts longer with less wear and tear.
VIBRATION REDUCTION SYSTEM (VRS): An isolated motor design reduces vibration by 90%, so you can work more comfortably. (as compared to SKIL models that don’t have VRS).
CONSTANT SPEED TECHNOLOGY: The SKIL brushless motor communicates with the PWRCore 20 battery to keep the speed the same even when the trail gets rougher.
Quickly change cutting or sanding blades with the quick release lever. You don’t need a tool for this.
Precision cutting is the answer.
When you need to cut, sand, scrape, or chip something, this oscillating tool can do it. The SKIL PWRCore 20 Multi Tool is built for power and performance, and it runs on the new lithium battery technology of SKIL PWRCore 20. This means that the battery will last longer. This oscillating tool has a new Vibration Reduction System (VRS) that separates the motor from the body of the tool to reduce vibration transfer and make it easier to make hard cuts. This makes it easier for you to get the job done. With variable speed control, constant speed technology, and a soft start feature, you’ll be able to control the machine all the way to the end. You’ll be able to control the machine all the way to the end.
I think this oscillating multi-tool is great. A piece of drywall that measured about 22″ by 15″ had to be replaced over the weekend. I did that first. When our dishwasher broke, it flooded the cabinet with water. The wall was smashed when the water hit the wall. Hand saws aren’t good enough for cutting drywall because they can’t make as close, right-angle, and straight cuts. I looked at a few videos on how to cut a long, straight line. I found that the best way for me to do this until I get more experience is to “plunge cut” along the pencil line. Worked out well. It might not be as bad if you took shorter cuts. To be honest, I did get one of those special blades for drywall.
In general, the tool itself is light and well-designed. People did not have to deal with vibration because they did not have to. This tool has an on/off switch instead of a trigger and a speed dial. I thought this was good for the way I had to work in a small space. I could use two hands and work on the project instead of controlling the trigger with one of them (especially a variable speed trigger).
When you want to change the blade, you flip a lever on top of the head of the tool to the side. This opens the mandrel, which allows a universal type blade to be put in. This is how you can put on a closed end blade when the mandrel is open: twist a knob and remove the lower part of it. You can then put on a closed end blade, like this: (you will need to replace the lower part of the mandrel to complete the process). This was the main reason I chose this tool. It had a lever that I could squeeze to open the mandrel of another brand. A faster system, but the pressure required was almost too much for my older hands, and my wife couldn’t even try because she’s not strong enough.
As of now, the battery life on this tool seems to be very good so far. I was able to finish my project with only one bar on the battery (4 bars total). Cleaning the hole, cutting the piece to fill the hole, cutting off a nail, and trying to cut molding were all part of the proces. Everything worked well except for the molding. I think I’ll use a miter box and saw for that.
The tool comes with a variety of blades, a sanding attachment, and sandpaper. The blades are clearly marked for what they can be used for. Even the accessories come in a little case to keep them from going all over the place (a very thoughtful inclusion). It also comes with a 2ah battery and a quick charger (the rapid charger is also thoughtful). Besides a case to replace the box, I don’t have any special blades.
People who write reviews for Skil might want to add a depth guide to help them work with drywall.
