Review on Rockwell RW9145 Sonicrafter Oscillating Multitool by Jamie Behm

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Wrong grit and bad velcro

I recently bought a Rockwell tool and it came with a set of different grit blades. I mainly used 80 and 120 grit and they worked fantastic, but I ran out before my project was complete. I ordered this set because I can't find 80 and 120 individually. I also wanted to order the Rockwell brand to make sure they would fit my instrument properly. This product has two main problems. First, the grit on this packaging is neither the grit of the original packaging nor the standard grit compared to other products. The 80 grit is more like a 60 grit and the 180 grit is rougher than the standard 120 grit. It was very frustrating to get the same smoothness that I've used with the original blades and other products. The second problem is the Velcro. The original sheets had a much thinner and thicker flannel backing than these replacement sheets. Leaves fall off the tool before there is enough dishware on the leaf and I need to get rid of them much quicker. Some reviews say it's a problem with the sanding pad in the tool and not the blade, but when I went back to the original 40 grit on another part of my project I had no problem. The velcro held up really well and was so strong that I even ripped off the felt pad when I tugged on the sheet too quickly.
