Multi-Max MM50-01 5 Amp Variable Speed Corded Oscillating Multi-Tool Kit with 30 Accessories and Storage Bag

I've been happy with my Dremels, . . . until this Multi-Max 50MM. It died while working on a project (a jigsaw map of the 50 states) with my HS Special Ed. students. The switch got stuck & the tool stopped working. Can this be replaced? Bought in 09/'21

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I've had these tools for some years now and this is the latest project. They cut fiberboard really well!

I purchased this tool a few days ago at Home Depot, yet I already ran into some trouble with it. I thought maybe it was just me at first, but then I looked into other reviews on Home Depot and a good number of people ran into it as well(a lot did not so it could be some batches are faulty). The problem is that after only using this tool for cutting maybe 2-3 linear feet of 5/8 " plywood and 1 or 2 nails, I noticed the head had become crooked. Not the cutting blade, but the actual head you fasten the blades to (which is not adjustable). It did not affect the operation of the unit, but when using a straight cut blade I had to hold the tool at an angle. I could probably just deal with it, but since I only just bought it, I will be returning it. (see pictures) The second thing I noticed that annoyed me is the flaw in the blade locking system. It is very quick and easy to change the blades without any tools, however, it kept loosening on its own very quickly during usage. This forced me to stop frequently and hand tighten the blade or else it would get too loose and move around unacceptably. I would rather have a blade that I had to use a tool to change if it means it stayed in place without having to constantly tighten. I'm not sure if I would recommend this product, it seems to work great for what it does, but the flaw in whatever design that allows the head to become crooked has me worried about the overall build quality of it. For the premium price and brand, I did not expect the issues.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I finally got my long awaited Dremel MM50 kit at Christmas, just in time to replace a warped, sagging water damaged under cabinet Kitchen shelf. (Of course we fixed the source of the leaks first). The MM50 not only made the demolition of the existing shelf quick work, it made all of the cuts in the replacement wood simple. It cut like butter through the two by fours to build the new bracing frame, using the Dremel 2 x 4 blade. Once the wood was replaced with the upgraded shelf, the MM50 sanded al the surfaces and accurately trimmed and sliced the waterproof tile that covered the new wood surface. I couldn't be more pleased with the way it made the job look as good or better than it would have with a pro. Can't wait to see how it can help on other projects around the Texas Workshop!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I had to purchase this after using my brother-in-law's MM-45 to replace some windows in my log home. It cut out caulking, freed rusted screws, trimmed framing to remove rot and cut a splendid kerf for inserting/installing a drip cap. These 3 large (2 - 5 ft wide and 1 6 ft wide) took 3 of us both weekend days to complete and the multi-max cut off many hours I'm sure. My next project is to remove adhesive on a concrete floor before installing a new engineered floor. Come the spring there are 2 huge slider windows on the lake side that we will be replacing. Once again I will rely on this tool heavily.

Waited way to long to purchase this tool. Needed to scrap paint and rust off three large ornamental steel planter cages. The Dremel with sanding pads provided excellent access to every nook and cranny prepping the surfaces for Rust-oleum Rust Reformer, Primer and Hammered Gloss Black finish. Well done. I should have been in sales.

Bought the Multi-Max MM50 oscillating tool kit for a couple of home projects. One was to cut the oak wine rack above our fridge to allow for a new taller fridge. I was quoted $1500 by a cabinet maker to do the reno. The oscillating tool worked great and the DIY reno looks like original install. Saved myself a bundle. Next project is using the grout remover, hope that works as well as the oak project.

A variety of blades were included with the tool. The instructions were easy to follow. The varied speeds allowed me to complete different projects in my kitchen renovation even as a novice.

Picked up this multitool today to cut door casing and jambs for new tile in a bathroom renovation. This is about the only tool I don't already own so I had a choice - buy the cheap model at a neighboring "tool store" or buy a real tool. Well, I'm glad I chose the Dremel. You can tell when you pick it up that is no toy. The 5 amp motor gives plenty of power. Used it to cut typical pine trim and also to make longitudinal cuts in three oak door saddles to create a "step" for the higher tile height. No problems at all. The oak smoked a bit while cutting but that's just a result of the power of the tool. Take a look at the before and after photos to see the results.
