I have been looking at these for a couple of years and could not decide between the Rockwell and Fein units. When Rockwell came out with the RK5108K kit, I jumped on it. And it is an awesome tool for plunge cutting wood, plastic, or sheet rock.
I hada door frame that did not quite align with the door, preventing the door from staying closed. I was able to cut the frame loose and re-align it in just a few minutes. I should have bought a tool like this years ago!!

High-Frequency Oscillation for Smooth, Safe PrecisionFor the safest and most accurate work, the RK5108K features super high-frequency oscillation technology. This means that instead of rotating, it makes up to 20,000 back-and-forth oscillations per minute for ultra smooth, efficient results. Because there are no fast-spinning parts or alternating blades, there are no threats of kickback.
Thanks to its advanced design, the RK5108K cuts only hard materials when fitted with a blade attachment. This way, the tool easily cuts heavy-duty materials, while keeping the user's hands and fingers safe.
The RK5108K can cut wood, thin metals, fiberglass, masonry, plastic, carpet and flooring, cement board, and even vinyl siding.

Overall, this sander works well and was very simple to put together.I bought it primarily becuase it has a flexible light (very handy).The table for the disc sander is advertised as being cast iron but in reality is aluminum.Not a big deal but, generally, heavy is better when dealing with tools that may vibrate.I didn't research things enough and found out, after I bought and used the sander, that the belt size is not a standard size.In fact, the only place I could find belts to fit this sander was Grizzly (in 10-packs).If I were to do this over, I would go with a narrower or wider belt so I could find them easier.
