Rockwell SoniCrafter Oscillating Tool

Hi:

I'm Craig Taylor VP of Brand marketing at Rockwell. I just read your article above and can provide some additional info for your readers.

The SoniCrafter accessories are dedicated to the SoniCrafter system. Everyone making oscillating tools had to take a different approach to accessory attachment to stay away from each other’s patents. Unfortunately this means tool users are going to have to pick a system. Fortunately, the SoniCrafter is a great tool. We set out to make a solid no frills tool that does it's job and does it well. The SoniCrafter also offers a large listing of accessories(39 and counting total different accessories for cutting, grinding, scraping, sanding etc)soon available on www.sears.com , www.amazon.com, www.sonicrafter.com and other etailers.

Thanks,

Craig

Thanks Craig,
I want to purchase the 72 pice kit but I understand that it is 3-5 weeks from being shipped out. I may want to purchase the 37 piece kit as I understand that it is shipping but I do not know if I can purchase the other tools nor do I know what is available and the price of the other tools. Is an adapter to Fein accessories a violation of patents? I understand Bosch and Dremel have adapters and that Fein's patent is gone. Do they have a marketing agreement with Fein? You will be missing a potential million Fein users if no adapter is provided.
Please advise as to the above and listing of accessories and pricing so I may make a decision.

Hello Gohan:

Sorry it’s taken me so long to get back to your posting. I didn’t notice it before. I hope this helps.

The 72 pc kit is available for shipment. 5-7 days is our official ship time for all tools but we regularly beat that time. We would just rather under-promise and over deliver.

The accessories will be available for sale on the web in a matter of days if not hours. We are in stock and waiting for the web guys to work their magic. You can now see the listing of all 49 accessories that will be available for sale on http://www.rockwelltools.com/sonicrafter.htm. 40 of the 49 accessories are under $20 bucks each.

If your comparing accessory prices it is important to note that the Rockwell SoniCrafter has a available universal metal/wood cutting blade, the end-cut blades are a full 1 -3/8" wide and the circle and semi-circle blades are made of High Speed steel and can cut metal as well as wood.

Thanks,

Craig

Good Morning Craig

Good posts and very helpful --- one point, the link to rockwell's sonicrafter doesn't work, because there is an additional period (.) after the .htm of the address.

Hi: I tested this tool for Rockwell and it is fantastic. Couldn't wait for the accessories to arrive so I could restock. I say you can't go wrong with this tool! Great for DIY so you don't have to carry all tools along for small jobs. And for small jobs, who wants to haul out the big tools? I say buy one for all your family members this holiday season. They will be so excited.

Craig Taylor VP of Brand Marketing at Rockwell, I simply want to buy a 20 or 37 piece sonicrafter
immediately. I need to see them to decide which one. Can I do that at Sears, or at Menards, or at the home depot close to the 60647 zip code?
I do not have a credit card to shop on line. How can you help?
Thanks for your kind and helpful reply.
