It’s important to have good lighting in areas in which you’re working. And for those tough demolition projects, the heavy head of a sledgehammer is the best choice. For more delicate work, consider a rubber mallet, as it delivers a softer impact compared to other hammers. For all-purpose use, such as hanging pictures or removing nails, a curved claw hammer is the best choice. Different types and styles allow you to match the hammer to the job. Whether it’s being used for household tasks or construction projects, a good hammer is an essential tool. And if you’ve got a particular brand you prefer, we carry trusted names like DEWALT cordless tools, Bostitch, CRAFTSMAN and more.

#Rockwell cordless multi tool kit pro#
But for the Pro who uses a multi-tool pretty regularly or for long periods at a stretch, you’re going to want to look elsewhere. Its performance is perfectly adequate for most tasks. As stated earlier, the Hyperlock blade change system works very well, and it’s lightweight and easy to handle.
Admittedly, this isn’t the most flattering place to finish. The cordless Rockwell Sonicrafter finished our shootout in an overall 21st place. A three-year warranty, along with an included battery and charger don’t hurt either. It has a good blade change system in place, as well as some pretty decent ergonomics. The cordless Rockwell Sonicrafter offers a pretty great value at $125.87 for the kit. Understanding Hearing Protection with DeWalt With a set of earplugs, the noise shouldn’t bother you too much, but it’s worth mentioning that this was the loudest model we tested. We won’t go so far as to say that we resent Rockwell for their lack of effort in this department with this model, but at 104 dB(A), we’re not crazy about the fact that the cordless Rockwell Sonicrafter just about made our ears bleed. We also appreciate some effort put into noise dampening. The cordless Rockwell Sonicrafter finished in the middle. We tested some models where the vibration felt almost nonexistent, and we tested some models that shook us to our cores. We appreciate it when manufacturers put some effort into vibration dampening, and Rockwell does an adequate job with the 20V Sonicrafter. Because multi-tools oscillate at such a fast rate, the vibrations caused can become uncomfortable with prolonged use. Vibration control with these types of tools goes a long way. Incidentally, the cordless Rockwell Soncirafter can crank out anywhere between 5,000-20,000 OPM. This translates to a slower cutting speed, even with the Sonicrafter set to max on the variable speed dial. Rockwell does not include this feature here, and instead, they’ve opted for a more standard 3.2° angle of oscillation. We also liked its lock-on switch for our longer cuts. The corded Sonicrafter has a variable oscillation angle that allows for up to a 5° angle of oscillation. Here’s where we start to see the differences between the two models. They both have reasonably comfortable handles that feel good to hold onto, due to the general design and rubber overmolding. The form factor, however, is almost identical. In fact, the 20V cordless Rockwell Sonicrafter weighs in at a very respectable 3.06 lbs, which is about a quarter-pound lighter. As a general rule, cordless tools weigh a little heavier than corded models on account of the added weight from the battery. ErgonomicsĪgain, we’re not going to see major differences between the corded and cordless models here, but there are differences. We still prefer the Bosch/Fein Starlock system, but really, anything that doesn’t require a hex wrench to manage a simple blade change makes sense for us. This system works pretty well, and the Hyperlock system provides 1-ton of clamping force to hold the blade securely in place.
