Dremel Multi-Max Review

Since we are getting ready to get our house in order to put on the market my honey-do list has gotten even larger. There has been one thing that has needed to be done for years but I am not the most knowledgeable person when it comes to home repairs. I have needed to replace a broken door in the house but really didn’t know what all went in to even getting ready to hang the door. I could not for the life of me figure out how to chisel out the notches where the door latches rest. Thanks to the people over at Dremel that actually came to the rescue and made me look quite competent to my family with the Dremel Cordless Multi-Max.

The cordless Dremel Multi-Max oscillating tool allows users to tackle a variety of repair, remodel, and restoration projects wherever you need them to be done. No cords attached on this bad boy. Its high-performance motor combined with a 12VMAX Lithium-Ion battery offers users the same high performance level of a corded oscillating tool, allowing users to grind, sand, scrape, cut and remove grout with all Dremel oscillating accessories and attachments. The tool also boasts sleek ergonomics, a handy Quick Fit accessory change system and an attractive price tag (SRP: $149.99).

      main entry
      I love making things out of wood, espeacailly from cedar or wormy chesnut, both of which I have alot of that my dad gave me before he passed away. And I want to make some pretty picture frames from them & roll top jewelry boxes, so thats just one of many projects I need to get finished. I also like buying old wndows then refurbish them into ones that can be used inside as decor so this tool would sure help that happen & the no cords feature would be great, thanks

      Oh my, so many projects that need done in our house. It seems once we get one done 2 more sprout up! I think this would be especially useful for one of our upcoming projects: re-grouting the tile counter tops in our kitchen. White grout is such a bad idea for the kitchen!

And that’s just what needs to be done in one room.
