Dremel Multi-Max Oscillating Tool Review
We're super fans of oscillating tools and when we had the opportunity to review the Dremel Multi-Max we jumped at the chance.
Hits: Variable speed and power
Misses: Not enough attachments included
Uses: Cutting, Sanding, Grinding
As with the previous oscillating tools we've reviewed, the Multi-Max performs in a similar way. You bolt on various attachments according to your needs and away you go. These are great for cutting in, grinding, and sanding.
Features
We liked the variable speed trigger that is similar to the Dremel Trio and the battery life indicator is also a nice touch. The unit feels solid and if you've got other Dremel tools you can swap in the batteries and keep on going.
It comes in a hard case and the tool is offered in a cord and cordless version. We only tested the cordless and they both max out at 21,000 opm but the cordless variable speed starts at 3,000 where the corded starts at 10,000. The cordless gives you a bit more flexibility on the low-end but if you're seeking all-day performance you should consider the corded version.
The set of included attachments was not very extensive and just like most Dremel tools they really shine once you realize their versatility. Fortunately we had a set of Bosch oscillating tool attachments to test which we'll share in the next article.
