My HF Multi-Tool. I've been using it a lot lately for sanding my deck rails. In aggregate, it has probably run 15-20 hours in the last week, usually in increments of 2-3 hours at a time. It finally died yesterday. The motor still runs, but at a reduced rpm and the oscillations have stopped, so something internal has snapped. All in all, the product is about 3-4 years old and honestly, I've beat the snot out of it. Given that I only paid $16 for it, I really don't have any complaints on the tool life. I bought it knowing that it was basically a "disposable" tool if you will---meaning there were no expectations of long life. It actually has served me well and I feel I got more than my money's worth from it.
FWIW, I also killed a ROS from HF last time I did a deck. For me, this just proves that some things from HF are pretty good, provided you remember your initial investment.
