I Never Knew This TRICK About the OSCILLATING MULTITOOL?!

Many people rely on multitools to make plunge cuts in various spaces. And most people use multitools with the blade projecting straight out the front of the tool.

However, some people insist that turning the blade 90° on the adapter is the way to go!

In this video, I tested both ways to determine the proper usage of the oscillating multitool.

What I discovered is that straight-line cutting (with the blade projecting straight from the front of the tool) is preferable in many cases. It utilizes the weight of the tool better, balances the tool in in your hands, and makes sight line-ups easier.

HOWEVER, I also discovered that CUTTING ON THE DRAW was much easier than cutting on the push!

I had never known this about the oscillating multitool before. But it's far easier to initiate and control cuts when drawing the blade towards you.

This essentially changed how I'll use multitools forever...which just goes to show you it never hurts to experiment!

Thanks for watching!
