An oscillating multitool is designed, as its name suggests, to do a lot of different things. The best models can cut, sand, scrape, and grind in service of everything from grout removal to furniture restoration to wall framing. If you’re intrigued, as all DIY and professional tradespeople should be, Walmart is making it quite inexpensive to add an oscillating multitool from Skil to your collection.
The Skil Pwr Core 12V Oscillating Multitool Kit is on sale for $55 at Walmart, 44% off its normal $99 price tag. That price is for a complete package — tool, kit, charger, battery, and seven attachments – so you can get to work with this tool right out of the box.
This tool category is defined by its versatility, and this one comes with 35 sheets of sanding paper, a sanding pad, a bi-metal plunge blade, a high-carbon steel wood blade, a high-carbon steel segment blade, and a rigid scraper. But as with any other power tool size and power are also key. This one is quite compact, at just over a foot long, and weighs just over 4 pounds. That’s important for a tool that excels in detail work, which often happens in tight spaces. It’s also powerful, with a brushless motor that can reach a no load speed of 18,000 rpm. It won’t necessarily be that fast, though, thanks to a very clever feature: automatic speed sensing that adjusts to one of six different speeds based on the project. Anyone who finds themselves manually scraping, sanding, grinding, or cutting on a regular basis will get a ton of use — and save a ton of time and effort — by opting for this tool on all but the finest detail projects.

Other customers called this multitool “nimble and precise,” “super lightweight,” and “more powerful than expected.” One even said it was “the best tool I ever bought,” and everyone seems to agree that “it comes in handy for so many different tasks.”
