It's been recommended that I get a multi-tool for a particular project I'm working on, so I'm breaking down and buying one.
I'll probably use it off and on to do various projects, so I want to get a decent one, but it doesn't have to be top-of-the-line.
I'm thinking corded, as I'll probably be near an electrical outlet whenever I use it, and I'd like the extra power. Anything else I should consider?
In terms of brands, someone said that they had a Craftsman, and it had worked well for them for a few years.
Another recommended Fein, which seems pricey but gets good reviews, and I think I can get a starter kit that will only cost an arm.
Others I'm looking at are Porter-Cable, Rigid, and Dremel. I'm a little leery of Dremel because of its hobbyist roots, but they seem to be moving to meet more robust demands and might be OK. Rigid has a lifetime guarantee, and a free attachment until 12/26, so that's attractive. And Porter-Cable seems to just make good tools.
Any feedback on any of the above? Anything else I should consider?
Your help is greatly appreciated!
