Craftsman 17438 Nextec 12-volt Lithium-Ion Cordless Multi-Tool —

The Craftsman 12 Volt NEXTEC Multi-Tool is my newest favorite tool! I bought it for a project where I had to replace the 250 year old sill plate under my front door, along with the 7 ft wide threshold. The trim-cut blade was essential for the job - it allowed me to slide the new threshold (8/4 x 14-1/2" Phillipine Mahogany into place) with a minimum of effort. I recommend the tool - but if you buy it, get an extra battery and extra blades at the same time - only Craftsman will work with it.
