Somehow, I don't think this "ocsillating multi tool" is the kind of beast I know as a "Sawzall." Are there miniature ones?

Unlike the Sawzall the head vibrates and various blades are available. The one I use is Dremel's Multi-Max.

Hmmmmm, never thought of one of those for tank butche...modification. I used one to get out of a couple of close calls retrofitting some plumbing and they are very controllable.

I will be checking on the price. Is it tough enough to cut brass? My father started out after WWII as a "tinner" (i.e. sheet metal) and the ability to use a tin snips sure did not rub off on me ('course, maybe that is because I am a superior left-handed person).

I was referring one like the multi-max. A sawzall is a sawzall...If I meant sawzall I would've said sawzall...sheesh...lol

Yes, there are blades available to cut many things (even nails in wood). However I don't use the Multi-Max as much as you may think. I use razor saws, hack saws, other hand tools or head out to the shop and use the BIG saws.

I checked around, Eric. When I saw advertisements for the Dremel Multi-Max, I remembered decades ago using one with a friend. We butchered whatever project it was. While's it's no Milwaukee Sawzall or the like, the Dremel Multi-Max is a bit on the large size for 1/16 plastic.

When you see two posts in a row from ol' Herr Doc., you know that he can no longer remember what he did just 20 seconds ago. Help! Moderati! Get this embarrassing post out of here.

Agreed, in my 16th work it gets more use as a handy sized sander. Those triangle sanding pads are really handy at times.
