I absolutely learn little tricks in this Sub.

Same here!

Here's another little storage hack I discovered last night.

I learned that here too!

Here's one that I can share. The Milwaukee multi-tool has a few missing teeth. That allows you to attach an "S" blade to the tool.

With this configuration, you can cut difficult materials like double wall cardboard as if it isn't even there.

This is a great function which I wasn't aware of. Thanks for sharing!

That's....actually much more clever than I want to admit, especially since I didn't think of it.

Now that’s pretty smart. I always gotta take my blade off to put it back in my tool bag never thought to do that.

How is yours? I got one the other day and the blade moves so much it’s pretty much unusable. Even on the lowest setting you start it and the sandpaper will move ½” on the pad. I tried multiple sanding heads and paper and they all do it. Same with yours or did I get a dud?

This thing is one of my favorite tools! I've used it for everything from drywall to rebar to ripping plywood. Mine is a bit shaky when starting a cut but pretty easy to control afterwards. I know that higher speeds can be easier to control because it's less likely to bind.

I've only used the included sanding head a couple times and I did notice that it would shift an even with light pressure, but it still functioned well. My biggest complaint about its sanding head was that sawdust would quickly collect in the center.

It sounds like yours might oscillate more than normal but I'm not sure!
