An electric file???
It's a sort of mini belt sander. Very useful for quick easing of things where you're not too worried about accuracy. Like say fitting a socket box into wood. Not a must have tool, but can be handy.
Ah, OK. Last time I had to do that I ended up using the sander drum on the Dremel.
I have the B&D version of that. Very useful for easing out mortices for door locks etc.
Cheaper than the Bosch version :-)

(I have the Black and Decker "PowerFile" version from several design changes back, which is more like the Aldi one.)

Right. So it would be something you use quite a bit?
Basically, I find it handy for anything wood related across the grain where you can't get a decent stroke with a rasp. Or are too lazy. And don't want to risk a decent chisel.
It's the B&D one I have too.
Not every day, it's one of those tools, like the multi master & clones, that is a real life saver when you do need it.
I use it a lot on newel posts when decking. Kerf out the half lap with circular saw, clean up & adjust with B&D Powerfile.
They are by me.

Will those reciprocating saw blades fit my Ryobi? Are they all generic?
