10 Accessories for cutting, sanding, scraping, and polishing.Oscillating multi-tools aren’t known for a wide feature set and Rockwell doesn’t skip out on anything major. They also include an LED light – something that most corded models pass on. You have a variable dial paired with the on/off switch instead of a trigger. Speaking of features, Rockwell checks all the major boxes here. Sure, you can find a cheaper oscillating tool kit for less than that, but you probably won’t find too many that offer the feature set and performance that this model offers for the price. For the whole kit, the corded Soncrafter will run you under $180. This is another area where the Rockwell Sonicrafter oscillating tool really shines. This isn’t a deal-breaker, but be advised, you’ll want some earplugs. Part of this is because of the aggressive cutting action at 5°. It registers as the second loudest tool while cutting (right behind Rockwell’s cordless model) at 103 dB.

This is one area where the Rockwell Sonicrafter really struggles. After all, these tools tend to get pretty noisy, especially when you use them inside. Just like vibration control, we appreciate some efforts put into noise reduction. It won’t all but negate vibration like the Fein models will, but it also won’t send enough vibration up your arm to make your teeth rattle. The Rockwell Sonicrafter does a decent job in this department.

That’s why we appreciate a tool with some good vibration dampening technology. These vibrations usually transfer to the user’s hands and can cause some discomfort on a long enough timeline. Because of how they work, oscillating multi-tools tend to vibrate a lot.
