Best Ryobi Multi Tools

Great tool, susceptible to dust build up – One couldn't really say their tool bag was complete without one of these, coupled with a 6 year replacement warranty. How can you go wrong? The box… Read more

comes with a variety of attachments that allow you to cut through plastic, wood or metal, a sander pad plus sandpaper and a gritty metal attachment for removing grout.

If I were to offer a constructive criticism, it would be that should the unit is used in a dusty environment (removing grout, cutting gyprock and some sanding), be sure to regularly use a blower to clear any dust from accummulating. No need to unscrew anything, but collecting too much dust inside the unit will render it useless.

Bunnings will however, happily swap the unit for a new one. But if you don't want that inconvenience, just regularly clean the tool.

handy.

I needed a smaller tool to access a delicate cutting job and this gave me the excuse to purchase a new tool, I was immediately impressed. It is detailed and accurate for cutting / grinding small areas and is more than powerful enough for getting through this sort of work. It's not grinder powerful, but it's also not grinder sized.

I was able to stall it a couple of times but I was really giving it a hard time. To change out the tip, a spanner needs to be locked onto the chuck and then rotate a locking ring and this is a bit fiddly - I guess this comes with having a smaller tool. At high RPM (35,000) it makes quite a racket and does a fair amount of cutting, but it can be dialled right down to 2,500 RPM for more delicate work.

Overall, very useful for detailed work.
