Attachments for a Variety of Projects
Unlike traditional power saws, the Genesis GMT15A Multifunction Oscillating Tool employs a 30-millimeter flush cutting saw blade to make precise cuts along edges and in tight corners. You'll marvel at how easy it is to trim narrow door jambs or base molding.

To make cut-outs in wood, plastic, or drywall, you'll want to use the 3-inch flat saw blade. The rigid scraper blade makes pulling up old vinyl flooring or carpeting no problem. The scraper also comes in handy for chipping away at stubborn paint layers.

The Genesis GMT15A can also be utilized as a detail sander. Just attach the hook-and-loop sanding pad and sandpaper for dry sanding of wood, plastic, or metal surfaces. For additional options, a grout blade or flexible scraper blade can be attached (not included).

Lightweight and Powerful
Weighing less than four pounds, this lightweight tool is constructed using die-cast aluminum gear housing, which improves dissipation of heat and increases service life. A four-pin flange design holds accessories firmly in place to guarantee safety. And with speeds of up to 21,000 oscillations per minute, projects can be completed more efficiently.

UL listed, the Genesis GMT15A is rated at 1.5 amps and 120 volts for safe, reliable operation. It is backed by a two-year warranty, which includes complimentary toll-free customer service and technical support. The GMT15A should be used only with Genesis oscillating tool accessories.

What's in the Box
Genesis GMT15A Multifunction Oscillating Tool; 3-inch Hook-and-Loop Sanding Pad; Sandpaper; Rigid Scraper Blade; 30mm Flush Cut Blade; 3-inch Wood and Drywall Blade; and Allen Wrench.

Customer Video Review Length:: 3:52 Mins

As described in the accompanying video review, this accepts accessories from other manufacturers, such as the Versa-Tool MB3B 1-3/8-Inch Bi-Metal Universal Oscillating Saw Blade, 3 Pack.

BTW, I feel that honest, effective reviews, accompanied by detailed videos, can take the place of first-hand experiences that are often lacking in online shopping. I've always appreciated the help I've received from other reviewers and try to return the favor as best as I can. I hope you found this review helpful and the video at least entertaining. If there was anything you thought was lacking or unclear leave a comment and I'll do what I can to fix it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better than expected...while it lasted., November 17, 2010

Amazon Verified Purchase( What's this?)
This review is from: Genesis GMT15A Multi-Purpose Oscillating Tool (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought this tool with the thought in mind not to spend too much on something I probably wouldn't use very often. At this price it was a cheap gamble. I finally got a chance to use it the other day, replacing some T&G flooring and was impressed at how well it worked. It's looks and feels solid and at this point I consider it a good purchase.I really can't see what any of the major name brand tools could do better. The only down point is finding blades that fit. You won't find them at HD or Lowes. Amazon sells blades made by Versa-Tool that fit, so if you buy the tool, stock up so you don't get caught without any replacements.

Update: The Bosch blades will fit, but man are they expensive! Also, if you hit a nail it doesn't matter how much you paid for the blade, it's history.

Update part 2: Ever heard the old saying "You get what you pay for"? Well, in this case it turned out to be true. After using the tool for just a few times, it started acting... Read more

Great tool but a wood/metal blade would be better than just the wood cutter. Hit a nail and the blade is shot. Bosch attachments fit but are very expensive.

Customer Video Review Length:: 0:45 Mins

Update: When I originally posted this review the listing wasn't clear about where these bits would work and where they wouldn't. Since that time the manufacture as responded to feedback (such as this review) and will be introducing an updated set that removes the limitations I describe.

On the plus side, you get 14 sockets and a convenient holder for one low price. Each socket is clearly and indelibly labeled and so is the holder.

Now for the limitations...

First, the shafts are missing a detent that allows them to be securely held by a quick release chuck such as with the Milwaukee 2401-22 12-Volt Li-Ion Compact Driver Kit or the (very useful)... Read more

Based on the feedback, we are creating another set that will have detents. It should be available in a few months. In regards to magnets, our new set will not have magnets. However, our TEKTON 2906 Magnetic Nut Driver Set, 3-Piece has both magnets and detents.

We apologize to anyone who bought this set expecting detents. When the new set comes out, we will makes sure that there is a clear distinction between the two. Thank you all for being a TEKTON customer and for posting such helpful reviews like this one. If anyone has questions or concerns about TEKTON or our tools, please email us at info@tektontools.com or call 888-648-8665. Thanks!

5.0 out of 5 stars Exactly what it looks like, April 26, 2010

Ernie "Ernie" (Greenwich, CT United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: TEKTON 2928 14-Piece Power Nut Driver Bit Set (Tools & Home Improvement)
I purchased this set to accompany one that came with my ratchet driver (it actually replaces it since it had the same SAE setup). These are great for the garage in a pinch when you don't want to haul out the socket sets. These are quite good for their purpose: any small nut that you can get loose by hand will work for these.

I would imagine they'd strip out quickly (or strip the nut head) applying hard or sudden torque, but that's clearly not what they're meant for.

If you look at the picture, you can see that these hex bits aren't standard (longer) length, as they're intended for use in a magnetized ratchet driver (or power drill, assuming you have the torque below 'drill').

As another reviewer (angrily) pointed out, these aren't meant for impact wrenches or fast change bits.

2.0 out of 5 stars Useless, February 2, 2010

This review is from: TEKTON 2928 14-Piece Power Nut Driver Bit Set (Tools & Home Improvement)
Total waste of money! 1/4" Hex Shanks are suppose to have a groove in the stem to hold them in place. To short for my cordless drill and doesn't hold in my cordless screwdriver. So they are useless to me. Thought I might have something to extend the shank, but no luck
