Another use for the multitool

[tseavoy]

I'm making some windows for a building for my wife to use as a studio. I am making some windows out of construction grade 2X4's. I got them all joined up and ran the rabbet for the glass with a router. To square up the corners, I started to use a chisel, except the fir didn't cut very easily. I then thought of using the HF multitool. It worked great. You can cut flush with the side of the rabbet from both directions, and also from the bottom.
I also used it to clean up glue runs using the scraper blade, before I sanded the frames.

I'll bet that did work good. When I bought mine, I figured it would be a fluke if I ever used it. Well last week, I installed a new microwave and had to trim 1/4" off the top of the splash between two upper cabinets. It took about 10 minutes, but was easier to do than any other method. It cut nice and clean up against the cabinets.

We should start a Multi-Function Tool club, and have meetings, serve coffee and doughnuts, and each of us could get up and introduce ourselves and tell our unique stories.

You guys are making it real hard to resist buying one of these things!

I watched the maintenance guy at our local Walmart replace a porcelain tile in the entryway just like they show in the Fein infomercial. As he was a pro, figured he was using a Fein or Rockwell. Nope, $39.95 at you-know-where. He did kill off 1 and a half scraper blades getting out 2 16" tiles, so if it's possible to mount a better quality scraper it might be worthwhile.

My 9 year old expensive Fein taught me the glories of a multifunction tool long ago!
