Porter Cable PC250MTK Oscilating Multi-Tool Review

The Porter-Cable PC250MTK multi-tool is a specialty tool.  By this I mean a non-traditional woodworking tool.  When considering what projects this would be most applicable to, I realized this was going to be my “bail out” tool.  The Porter Cable Multi-Tool excelled at fixing my repair and rework problems (and we all have those).  It made short work of the projects (some of which I hate to do) saving time.  Also, it makes getting into impossible places a breeze, which we all know can be the root of all evil.  The Multi-Tool has already become one of my favorite go to tools and I’m sure it will be even more so in the future.
