You'll probably use it a lot more than you ever dreamed possible.Thanks all for the suggestions and comments. I don't know how much I'll end up using this once I have it, but the only thing I know for sure is that I need the flush cutting ability for the base boards. I don't normally go cheap on tools, but think I may give the HF tool a go since I don't anticipate giving it a lot of use.
I have two or three of the HF ones. We have a rental 50 plus miles away & there's always something that needs cut co I keep one in the van and one in the car and 1 in the shop.
A Dremel << ---avoid the Dremel.
A Menards cordless (Promax or Peformax or something like that) - I love the cordless. It's my usual "go to". I picked it up for about $20.00 all told after rebates & sale price.
Ding, ding, ding!!! We have a winner!Ive also used it somewhat like a chisel.
I discovered the hidden worth of these tools is that they can be used like a "power chisel".
