I am taking down a partition wall, I have a 18 volt battery multi tool at the moment. The work has been slow with this as the battery is dying quickly. So I looked for a mains unit.
After reading the reviews I ordered this item. The first night I removed half the wall cutting through plaster board wood supports with ease.
The build quality is superb it feels a quality to hold. The quick change for the blades works like a dream instead of an hex key. I have tried 1 third party blade so far no problems.
The lead is long enough to do most jobs. It comes with a carry case 2 blades and sanding pads. You will need to order more blades with it, ( the only issue is the lack of blades).
Quite simply the best item I have bought for the toolbox.
Very powerful and a great tool for the toolbag. Need to be strong to hold this down though. Lots of third party blades fit this tool so much better than others
What a great product makes life so much easier for those difficult jobs
I had tried a friends multi tool before, which was a Worx, so I knew what to expect. I was not disappointed
one of the best tools ever, very versatile,did jobs i could not do with another tool
a lot easier to use than my old one and blade changing much quicke
Possible the best power tool since the invention of the electric drill. I don’t know how I ever managed with one.
Product good. Used few times now. New unopened unit delivered but case was rather battered. Case also not the one in the picture. Minor points as product good
WHAT a brilliant little kit!! Certainly out performs it’s price and simply can’t fault it.
Lovely piece of kit that has already saved me so much time and grief on the first project I used it on.
I nearly bought one of these a few years ago but I’m glad I waited and got this model with the quick lock and release system.
So much easier than my brother-in-law’s one that I used to borrow!!
Fantastic product can’t believe the ease that machine cuts at …. so easy to use
Excellent little tool, works a treat, with very good control
Just the tool I needed,ideal for doing fidgety jobs in awkward places,excellent, fantastic. Also sent for a case of blades to go with it,also excellent . Thanks.
Wanted one of these for a while but couldn’t decide what make to go for. Eventually chose this Worx one and I am very pleased with it for diy jobs, only draw back is the sanding triangles don’t stay on the pad for very long, otherwise great bit of kit.
Excellent product, very professional, fast and safe replacement between different applications.
Used to do some flooring repairs and cut old laminate hardwood flooring that I was relaying. Cut through everything with ease. So much faster, and quieter, tham my old Bosch. Too soon to say on reliability, but seems well made and sturdy.
Great piece of kit. Much better than my previous one from a discount supermarket. Power is unbelievable. Only issue I’d say is the velcro on the sanding pad is very poor. But I’m sure will be able to get a different one that will fix that.
Value for money and as good as more expensive competitors with scope for additional attachments
I am not a DIY expert but have been thrust into doing various tasks to get a house renovation finished. I think I used every tool in the space of 2 weeks and would say this tool was a great help with doors, sanding and general cutting.
The main reason I did get the tool was tile cutting as I had a number of holes to cut out of the middle of tiles. Having not done loads of tiling before I was looking for something to make the process easier. The tool didn’t make massive claims about tile cutting but there were a few references to say that it did cut tiles.
In the end it did the job but I had to purchase 3 blades to finish the job of around 4 tiles. I have no doubt there was an easier way to do it but not being a tiling expert I just thought this tool would make life easier. I think that if you have a few odd cuts to do then it is perfect for tiling.
However, as the product doesn’t make massive statements about tiling it did what I hoped it would do and for everything else it was excellent and saved me loads of time.
ive only used the multi tool once to cut the bottom off a sticky door and it worked just fine the door was still in place when I done it . it saved a load of time and mess
Good tool and quite powerful. Seems to periodically be heavily discounted on Amazon (to 70-80 range), so wouldn’t recommend paying anything close to full 150 asking price. Also don’t get fooled by the “40 Accessories” tag line – these comprise two (wood only) saw blades, an alternative mounting pin to allow use of non-Worx cutting heads, a sanding foot, a (good) carry case, and all the remaining items in the count are sheets of sanding paper (i.e. about 35 of). If you want to do anything useful with this you will need to buy ‘real’ tools / blades at extra cost.
Wow, quickly becoming a tool you must have in the toolbox. Its used on nearly every job for one thing or another. Does get hot when working hard.
Blades are approx 1.00 each. But gets in where other tools can’t.
I purchased this with one job in mind. I have since used it for so many jobs it’s surprising how many things you can use this for. I also tested the sander and it works better than my black and decker hand sander. One downside the blades don’t last long so you might want to invest in a few extra. All in all, it’s a great tool to have.
First off, the F50 is a beast, and has the potential roar to match when it is shifted through its six speeds, Ear protectors are recommended, particularly if using the higher speeds, although in first and second the volume is tolerable at a pinch.
It comes with two cutting blades, a sanding pad and oodles of sanding sheets, as well as an additional bolt ,”used only with other oscillating tool brand sanding pads”, which I suppose is useful if you are thinking of using one.
The sanding plate has come in for a lot of flak, reading through other people’s comments. I tried it with some trepidation, expecting it to disintegrate in quick order, but it held the pad well when I tried it on some scrap wood, trying it at varying speeds. I’m sure with practice that it is possible to get good results with this tool, but the finish was relatively scratchy , and given the size of the head I do not see myself using it much. My Makita rotary sander is my ‘go-to’, and that and an elderly B+D Mouse (and old-fashioned elbow grease) will be my tools of choice when sanding. That said, it is good to get the flexibility of sanding with this tool.
It is in the cutting that this tool comes into its own. The speed with which it cuts through wood is remarkable, and that is at speed setting 1! Heaven knows how quick it might be at highest setting, but I was wanting control .It cut a thin (7mm) sliver from the end of a 16.5cm x 1.5cm wooden skirting board with ease, and was much easier than using a hand- or jigsaw, which would have been the alternative. The sawdust was also very contained. I was able to remove and replace old door architrave with ease and little mess, the bi-metal blade chomping through the wood (at tile level) and through the holding nails higher up. The LED lights that are attached to this model were useful here. I then used the blade to cut back into some solid plaster (a 164cm run in total). The blade chomped its merry way, and even though the teeth were wearing towards bluntness by the end, the job was certainly easier and less messy than knocking the plaster out by hand.
The tool has thus far performed admirably. There is some ‘blowback’ from the tool, but it is not excessive. It does not appear to heat up noticeably in use, and the locking/unlocking mechanism is a breeze. The power rating may be overkill given the DIY usage that it is likely to get from myself, but I feel happy having the horses in hand, as it were. I cannot compare it to its stablemate or to other brands, but I am very happy with my purchase and can foresee many future uses for it. It was also easy to upgrade the guarantee for the machine to 3 years online.
(I gave it 5 * as I was fully aware that the bulk of the bundled items were sanding sheets, and because the youtube videos of the machine in use do seem to accurately reflect its ability. I would have bought the F30 had this machine not been on offer, as I would have been hard pressed to justify the price differential between the F50 and F30 in normal circumstances).
Great tool: to cut and trim great! To sand excellent: sanding paper stuck perfectly during my job. Professional tool. Quite noisy so use only daily 🙂
Top quality piece of kit well worth the 80 or so that I paid Amazon for it. Not sure i would pay the RRP of 150 though – at that price I’d be looking at the Bosch kit.
This is very powerful and chews through every piece of wood that I throw at it with ease.
This exceeded my expectations as a replacement for my previous multi tool with the extra power and easy clamp system.
A fabulous tool. Easy to use, made the job I bought it for really quick and simple. If I’m being critical, it is a bit heavy (but that’s the only thing I can say against it so far)
Worx cuts through timber and nails in seconds my old bosch tool was taking minutes.
only used it twice, but seems to work well & easy to set up. would recommend.!
Great product – really good at what it does and extremely versatile.
Would be nice if it was provided with a couple of extra blades however.
brilliant device, i love the keyless release function. The Blades that came with haven’t stayed sharp very long. but overall very happy with produc
Great tool can certainly recommend. Well made, although I’v never owned one previously, so can’t compare against other brands. Find a multitude of jobs to use it for.
Wish I’d bought one sooner, brilliant bit of kit. A must have for every diy handyma
Fantastic bit of kit works a treet what more to say get one!!
WHY 4 STARS?
– Despite the manufacturer’s claim that it’s compatible with blades of other brands it’s simply not always the case. Although the lock does have a good grip and holds blades tightly, some of the Bosch and Saxton ones wouldn’t click into the teeth pattern.
– The tightening mechanism is made of metal however the actual handle itself is made of plastic which isn’t that thick so it’s prone to breaking at some point
– it comes with only 2 blades, one tiny sanding attachment and a bolt for attaching sanding attachments of other brands, all packed in a small plastic case. Other manufacturers are more generous.
I possess two other Worx tools and this wee beastie has been built with the same quality in mind as the others. A robust well designed tool and a must for any serious DIYer (and Pro) Don’t get me wrong you won’t be reaching for this tool every time you open the tool box but it’ll come into its own when you least expect it. Take the time to get to know the tool properly and it’ll serve you well. Spend some time ‘practicing’ with timber from the scraps box in workshop/shed and it’ll pay dividends, just don’t be expecting to dive into the box and recreate the kind of jobs you see being done on the you tube videos without the learning curve. All in all a fantastic addition to your tool box.
Much quicker cut than my previous bosch and takes all bits unlike the current bosch
Fast delivery, good quality item, all is OK – thank you !!!
This tool was a great deal and does a lot of the things which was doing multiple hand tools and other electrical tools. The number of cutting attachments does seem a bit confusing but we have used it for tiles, metal, wood, plastic, and sanding in the last week while fitting a kitchen.
Excellent product – better than my original WORX Sonicrafter purchased 10 years ago.
I have a less powerful type which has been ok but the 400 watt type is well worth the money
Most certainly recommended and a must for any working tradesma
love it, what more can be said apart from chose Worx & you choose a quality produc
Hubby very pleased with his new toy. He says it works very well
Great tool first one died after a few weeks little use. Great tool when purchased with extra blades.
Amazon replced immediatly no problems
Great product, does everything you could possibly want for a DIY enthusias
What a tool I’ve have multi tool before but this one is the bees knees
So simple to use and does everyting you want. The led light is great too.excellent purchase
The tool is easy to hold and does not transmit the vibration of the blade to the tool, as others have said it does eat blades but i don’t know if that is down to the power of the tool or the quality of the blade that came with it. I have also used it to cut some kitchen cabinet and had to ensure i did not cut too far as i would have ended up with an eyesore. The Sonicrafter worked well and allowed me to cut with ease and accuracy and no damage, i also ordered some more aftermarket circular blades. Now to get a cordless drill – the WORX powerful one looks tempting as it throws out a good amount of power.
very powerful,and will fit most blades from other sources,nice touch! would recommend!
great tool, very versatile,very easy to use & change blades.
Bought for son in law for Christmas, he loves it and likes the powe
This tool works really well, I’ve had two Bosch multi tools before and this tool cuts much fast and blade changes are easier.
I bought this for Hubby who does not fair well with DIY Tools, he’s quite tough on them. But this is Hubby Proof which to me is the best recommendation I can give. He says it’s well made, does what it says on the box..he is a man of few words!!! He has used it several times already and it has been invaluable and it’s still in one piece. Tough Stuff in my opinion.
Product delivered ahead of stated timescales and was as described. Very happy with it to date and have used it extensively since receipt in the prodcution of my wood crafts.
I had to cut holes in a confined space inside a kitchen cabinet corner unit that could not be moved – no problem.
When I get onto the new laminate floor this will easily and tidily cut the space needed under the skirting board
and I have a range of attachments coming which will let me tidy up the grout in the kitchen floor.
I can think of so many uses for this like cutting out sections of the shower room floor that need replacing.
Then I have got three doors to fit so i can use this to cut the door handle slots.
Great tool.
Does what it says on the adds heavy duty bit of ki
Exactly what I wanted Does a lot of different jobs
Bought this for my son, he is very happy with it, he says it is very versatile, it makes a very competent sander, he has bought a set of assorted blades to go with it, the scraper blades are extremely effective for removing old paint with the benefit that you aren’t using a blow torch. He says it is possible to cut very accurately with the saw blades, great that you can saw flush to the material. It is definitely worth investing in a good assortment of blades- the more variety, the more versatile this tool becomes!
Arrived quickly ,well packaged 26 of the 29 accessories are sanding pads so I bought a pack 20 different tools, only used once so far but worked well and did the job, 10 cheaper than Homebase.
Superb Tool great value and good service from the selle
Great tool, and as good as much more expensive brands, takes any make of blades which saves time and cost, Well worth a buy
I’d never heard of Worx before so would usually lean towards a bigger brand like Bosch but it’s a really high quality tool and I believe its much easier to use universal attachments with this one.
Brilliant bit of kit, can’t believe how quick it works and also the cut is so clean.
Its made my life easier I am still finding new uses for i
Brilliant tool, powerful and multi functional, a must for anyone’s tool collectio
My partner was so pleased with this – one of my best buys ever!
im a trade user and use this type of tool daily, i bought this as a stand in for a fein that was getting repaired, WOW it blows the fein out of the water, its a beast in comparison to even the fein supercut, its also much better than the fein 350q it replaced,
do your research with 5 degrees of oscillation this multi-tool outperforms every other multitool on the market, ive been pushing it hard in a trade environment that used to kill a fein in 6 months, this thing is over a year old and still going strong
after 10+ years as a fein user im now a conve
Amazing!! One of the best tools i own! Makes life so easy! Would recommend to anyone!
i should buy this item before.Its so easy cutting odd areas .Very fast cutting and easy.light and quality product.Do not think to buy.Get it straight away.
Worx are always where I go first for power tools.
Great . Easy to use. Wish It had more attachments with it though. You can buy these separately
Been using this tool now for some time before writing a review.This sonicrafter is a must to have in your tool collection easy use,quick change blades and its own storage box.
Husband loves this multi- tool. Easier to use for several jobs at once without having to charge several different tools!
Made a lot of DIY jobs so much easier highly recommended
I couldn’t have done my project without it. The only negative was that I didn’t receive a delivery note or invoice, so could not register the machine for its 2/3 year cover.
Brought this for my husband he loves it. Does the job good speed control worth the money and would buy agaim
Decent for the price I paid, not had much use of it yet.
most important is any other multi-tool blade fits without tools or adapters – great !
Update: Nov16. Thought I would add to this review as I’ve now used it for several more jobs. Its still excellent and I now could not do without it. I’ve used it to chase out walls for cables which is far more delicate than a power drill with a chisel attachment (great if your chasing out internal walls that are only 1 brick thick – the chisel on the power drill would likely break through to other side). Using the semicircle masonry attachment (bought separately) you can cut a perfect neat line either side of your chase and then quickly chisel out the channel. I have also used it to speed up cutting out socket boxes in both masonry and plasterboard and to cut the end off thick steel bolts. You definitely need to buy a a selection of attachments to go with this to get the best from it.
Fantastic product. Does what I expected it to do! Handy for many DIY jobs.
Standard delivery 5-7 days but arrived the next day!!! Thanks.
Great tool is better than my much more expensive fein multimaster. That broke and was too costly to repair. Real quality. And value for money
Great tool. The only downside is the protective carrying case which is a snug fit for the tool but leaves little space to organise the attachments. The case also lacks the quality of the tool.
Nice piece of kit but only sanding accessories come with it, you need to fork out for the cutters and scrapers.
2nd one of these, but first time with the the Hyper lock clamping system, so much better.
Was a present for my partner. He said it is fine. Exactly what he wanted.
Bought as present but know product and brand when in business I had many tools of this make and never had probs
Great piece of kit. Cuts quickly and cleanly and doesn’t throw up dust and splinters everywhere.
Wish I had bought one long ago.
Christmas presie for my Hubby, he loved it and will get lots of use out of it. the item arrived in good time and was very well wrapped, it was a good price so over all well pleased with my purchase thank you
An excellent tool that does an amazing amount of things with relative ease highly recommend i
