Master Tool is a trade name used in North America, which is short for the original tool invented by the Fein company called the Multi-Master. Fein also created the original hand-held electric drill in 1867.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Is an oscillating tool the same thing as a moto tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No. Though their head attachments perform many of the same tasks &#8211; sanding, edging, cutting, and grinding &#8211; the moto tool operates by rotation, whereas an oscillating tool shifts back and forth. They both are small, handheld, corded or cordless, and use detachable tool heads, but they are different in the way that they move.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Should I get a corded or cordless oscillating tool?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>There are two significant differences between the corded and cordless options. First, a cordless oscillating tool is generally heavier than its corded counterpart, mostly because of the weight of the battery. Because these tools are created for fine, detailed finishing work, this weight difference could be significant enough to sway your decision. Secondly, if you work offsite frequently and don&#8217;t have handy outlets and extension cords, you may need to consider a cordless oscillating tool.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Avid Power Oscillating Tool Efficiency is Avid&#8217;s middle name.
