As described in the accompanying video review, this accepts accessories from other manufacturers, such as the Versa-Tool MB3B 1-3/8-Inch Bi-Metal Universal Oscillating Saw Blade, 3 Pack.
BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I’ve always appreciated the help I’ve received from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I’ll do what I can to fix it.

|Better than expected…while it lasted.,
I bought this tool with the thought in mind not to spend too much on something I probably wouldn’t use very often. At this price it was a cheap gamble. I finally got a chance to use it the other day, replacing some T&G flooring and was impressed at how well it worked. It’s looks and feels solid and at this point I consider it a good purchase.I really can’t see what any of the major name brand tools could do better. The only down point is finding blades that fit. You won’t find them at HD or Lowes. Amazon sells blades made by Versa-Tool that fit, so if you buy the tool, stock up so you don’t get caught without any replacements.
Update: The Bosch blades will fit, but man are they expensive! Also, if you hit a nail it doesn’t matter how much you paid for the blade, it’s history.
Update part 2: Ever heard the old saying “You get what you pay for”? Well, in this case it turned out to be true. After using the tool for just a few times, it started acting erratic until it finally just would not turn on. I’m pretty sure it’s the switch but it’s useless now. It worked long enough to get an idea of it’s unique abilities and opened my eyes to how useful these type of tools can be. Now I can justify buying a high end tool as I found it to be indispensible.

|Home owner review,
Great tool but a wood/metal blade would be better than just the wood cutter. Hit a nail and the blade is shot. Bosch attachments fit but are very expensive.
