A Complete Workshop in One Versatile Tool
Whether you're a professional woodworker or an avid do-it-yourselfer, the RK5102K is an effective way to streamline your work. Easily carried in its compact, lightweight bag, the kit can be kept at your fingertips for all your remodeling, installation, and repair projects.

Starting with the basics, the 72-piece multipurpose kit comes with a variable speed tool and includes two cutting blades, a carbide grit blade, a finger-sanding pad, 30 finger sanding sheets, a triangular sanding pad, 30 triangular sanding sheets, two polishing pads that help you cut, remove grout, and sand, with professional-grade results. It also includes a tough, broad-spectrum scraper, a triangular carbide grit rasp, a vacuum adaptor, and a hex key.

Sprucing up the garage? Utilize the scraper attachment to remove paint, old caulking, and rust. Remodeling the bathroom? Remove grout with the kit's carbide grit blade and score ceramic tiling for shaping with the optional diamond grit blade. Exposing hardwood? Remove carpeting using the broad spectrum scraping blade then let the sanding system take over to polish those hard-to-reach spaces.

High-Frequency Oscillation for Smooth, Safe Precision
For the safest and most accurate work, the RK5102K features super high-frequency oscillation technology. This means that instead of rotating, it makes up to 20,000 back-and-forth oscillations per minute for ultra smooth, efficient results. Because there are no fast-spinning parts or alternating blades, there are no threats of kickback.

Thanks to its advanced design, the RK5102K cuts only hard materials when fitted with a blade attachment. This way, the tool easily cuts heavy-duty materials, while keeping the user's hands and fingers safe.

The RK5102K can cut wood, thin metals, fiberglass, masonry, plastic, carpet and flooring, cement board, and even vinyl siding.

High Sanding Capacity with Low Dust Levels
For sanding jobs, this tool requires very little downward pressure and delivers great accuracy. And its slim body enhances your sanding capabilities, allowing you to work on edging and corners that are often not possible to reach with other tools. Plus, it affords you quick and easy clean-up, throwing a very low level of dust whether you're sanding, cutting, or scraping.

Easy Handling with Lightweight Frame and Soft Grip
The RK5102K has magnesium alloy gear housing, making it lightweight enough for extended use and rugged enough for long-term durability. The soft, ergonomic grip offers you optimum comfort and control while you tackle the job at hand.

3 out of 5 stars Cut off blade   September 4, 2010
K. McWilliams (Michigan)
Giving it only three stars as the kit came with only one "end cut blade". Blade lasted through it's first job of cutting off bottom of 80 year old wooden garage door.

You will need to purchase additional blades when buying this kit.



4 out of 5 stars Nice to have   August 10, 2010

This SoniCrafter is a nice tool to have for those somewhat difficult jobs. It handles well but does go through the blades rather quickly.


2 out of 5 stars 60 pieces of sandpaper and no diamonbd blades   August 2, 2010
Fred (Bay Area)
Forget it if you need to do a big project with it - it will take a long, long time. It does not replace other tools like circular saw, angle grinder, reciprocating saw, jigsaw, sander or any other dedicated tools.

What it does well is get into tight places with minor cuts like sheetrock cutouts and baseboards or detail sanding. 60 pieces of sandpaper and only two carbide blades - so much for the 72-piece set. It really needed couple of diamond blades for cutting into harder material like concrete and granite.

I had a bathroom remodel project and needed to cut a row of existing tiles. My angle grinder with a diamond blade zip right through the row of tiles but could not get into the tight corners. Brought out the multi-tool with a diamond cutting blade for the corners - it took forever to cut through an inch or two of tile.

On another occasion I needed to cut a ½" steel tubing but the steel blade was only good for one cut! Expensive at about $10 per small cut. They should come out with bi-metal steel cutting blades.




4 out of 5 stars Exceeded most expectaions.   July 24, 2010

Every feature worked great, better than expected...except the scrapper. That feature didn't work as well as I would like.


1 out of 5 stars Not a good tool for several reasons...   July 13, 2010
M. Nissley (Chicago)
First impression: not bad. Seems solid and the motor runs evenly. It comes with no instructions for use, other than crude illustrations which only indicate the most obvious concepts, like changing attachments. It is a pain to use the allen wrench to change attachments, but OK no big deal if the thing works. It does not. First job: remove some molding with the "precision wood blade." Results were mixed at best. It vibrated around in the wood and it smoked like crazy, even with just a tiny amount of pressure. It was burning the wood more than cutting. Half way through I used I circular saw to do the main cutting and used the "SC" for the corners. Not too impressed at this point. Second job: sanding. At first it was OK. It did remove material, but the loop pattern in the wood was far more obvious than my $60 Porter Cable orbital sander, and I wondered how I'd get the curly patterns out of the wood later. After about 45 minutes of light/moderate sanding the oscillation of the pad suddenly stopped entirely. I tried to remove the triangular sanding attachment to see what was wrong but the metal housing was so INCREDIBLY HOT I couldn't hold it. It was hotter than any hand power tool I've ever used. Not a good sign for a motor. The "male" nut that the pad mounting sits on had deformed the "female" end of the pad so badly it was utterly useless. So, the pad that holds the sandpaper was shot after sanding half of a door. At that point I knew it was a return, but to try to finish the job I switched to the "finger sanding pad." Again, bad looping patterns in the wood. I gave up with this tool after less than three hours total use. When I went to remove the sanding pad from the finger sanding attachment, the top 1/4 inch of Velcro from the pad peeled off, so sanding was now totally impossible with this tool after the first job. I only used two pieces of sandpaper: one regular and one "finger" and sanding was 100% impossible. It comes with dozens of sheets of paper, but why? I completed the job with my normal tools, and that is what you will do if you buy this product.

Pros: None.

Cons: Incredibly high heat; attachments fail where they mount to the tool; cheap accessories; you wish you bought the Fein or maybe all these tools are too good to be true.
