Factory-Reconditioned Ridgid ZRR82235 12V Cordless JobMax Oscillating Multi-Tool Starter Kit

I am a rock, carpenter / joiner by trade and bought this tool about two months ago for simple tasks like cutting down existing baseboard, trim, door jambs or cut the plug hole in the plywood. Anyone who has used these type tools by Fein is Macdaddy of oscilating tool and, unfortunately, still command a high price. I took the rigid model for something cheap and easy to grab a few cases where it works better than the usual puzzles or pull saw.

I have used this tool about 1012 times over the past two months and has been deliberately put there by speed. I've never tried two stiff wings that came with the drive, instead I went straight to a reliable cut capacity Bosch blades. I have yet to drain a battery even after heavy use (but the batteries are still new, so it's not that impressive). I recently had to cut a 22 "X28" shelf flake board with oak veneer in place, it was dado'd on all three sides of the upper portion of a refrigerator cabinet. So basically I had to throw the rock and move along the nearly 80 "of flake board continuously. Was surprised that the unit kept cutting the same high speed as when I started I.

Before you buy this tool, reported earlier reviews of the device is switched off unexpectedly. I've experienced this a few times and it can be annoying. The unit has done that for me is not in use, but after releasing the trigger and then when it is reengaed it will be something. I do not think there is a battery problem, I think it's a contact problem that dust get into somewhere that interupts the connection. I would also be skeptical said isolated issues that are relevant to overheating, as I said, I have many times probably drove the device beyond its intended purpose and experienced no problems, but I've gone out a few simple cuts and have had the device. I also bought the extra battery and replaced them during one of the tools small outbreaks, no difference.

If this type of tool was something I had to use every day, I would certainly drop $ 300 for Fein, but when I do, I can deal with Stiff Little ticks, but I would not have to. I'm still on the fence about returning it. If it were not for isolated problem, would this tool that the price will probably be superior in the wireless category.
