Rockwell RK5102K Sonicrafter Deluxe 72-Piece Kit
I gave this tool one star because zero stars was not available.
I have purchased two Sonicrafters, RK5102K, from Amazon.com. I purchased and returned them in sequence, trying to get one that worked. They were each the most expensive model, $179.99.
Both Sonicrafters had the same problem: The hex bolt would jar loose immediately and allow the attachment to fall to the floor.
I am 6' 4" tall, weighing 290. I believe that I am strong enough to tighten the hex bolt. I was afraid that if I forced the hex bolt to be any tighter, I would cam it out, that is, strip the threads of the bolt.
If the machine will not hold any accessories, it is worthless.
I have a woodworking shop with a huge array of tools, most of them purchased from Amazon.com. which has been terrific to work with. But, this Sonicrafter is totally unacceptable.
Amazon.com graciously allowed me to return both Sonicrafter kits and refunded my money. Minus $36.00, of course. Fair enough. I am just glad to be rid of the thing.
Customer Review: Does a Great Job!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had looked at the Fein Multimaster, but couldn't justify the price. I bought the Sonicrafter specifically to sand between the rails of a baby crib I built for my daughter. This tool will see as much use as my random orbital sander! It's very well made, and does a superb job. A couple of experiential comments: 1. The tool is a fast worker, let IT do the work for you. 2. The dust collection attachment gets in the way, and is useless. 3. I haven't found a source for sanding pads that fit, except Rockwell, and they're relatively expensive.
Customer Review: Does not cut metal
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought the 72 pcs. Unlike what Rockwell claims, this product does not cut any thin metal of any kind. All you wind up with is a worn out cutter. So if you are looking to cut metal, do not buy this product. Other wise for cutting any thing else, it does a good job.Customer Review: Does the job but it is not a F**n.
Summary: 3 Stars
Good serviceable tool. Certainly not as expensive as some models out there but you get what you pay for. Not as smooth and vibrates more but it does the job.Customer Review: Don't Waste You Money
Summary: 1 Stars
TV ad looked great and I bought it for the grout removal capability. Well, it doesn't work as well in the real world. Don't waste you money! I have returned the unit to Rockwell.
