Just picked up my Harbor Freight "multifunction power tool" today--for
$35 w/coupon. In honor of the tool it's a clone of, I'm going to call it
the Harbor-Master.

Saw the new models there, which are going for $49. They have variable
speed, and I understand that they've improved the mounting system so
that the little nubs don't wear down so fast. But I'm looking forward to
using mine soon (have a job where I need to open up some plaster walls).
It seems to be well and solidly built.

I did pick up a couple extra blades, including a carbide and a diamond
one. We'll see how it does.

In case you missed it and find the tooth blade wears out fast, the Dremel
works in it.

Here's how well they work: the one I bought last year now has racked
up maybe 100 hours or more, sawing, slicing up old linoleum, cutting
drywall, on and on. Resharpened the cutting blade successfully with a
disc cut off tool. So what are you waiting for? You know you need one

I've been abusing my HB multi-tool heavily for a year with no issues.
