The multi-tool is one of those things that you can’t understand just by looking at it—you have to use one to understand why they're so valuable. And once you use it, you will wonder how you managed your repair and improvement projects around the house without one. I use mine constantly—to start cuts, to trim stuff, to sand and scrape, and to make cuts in awkward spots where a hand saw or even a power saw just won’t fit. When I remodeled my bathroom, using the multi-tool to dig out grout lines was a lifesaver.

Recently, I’ve been thinking about swapping up to a cordless model, because this is the year 2025 and dealing with snaking power cords all the time is getting old. Therefore, this Prime Day deal jumped out at me: The Flex 24V Brushless Cordless Oscillating Multi-Tool—45% off until the end of Prime Day (a savings of more than $75).

Reviewers love this multi-tool, noting that it runs smoothly, without the hand-aching vibration and shaking of some models. Offering up to 20,000 oscillations per minute (OPM), it’s also powerful enough to cut through almost anything you need, including metal pipes, 2x4s, or drywall. And that high OPM means it will cut pretty fast, saving you time and protecting your hands and arms from fatigue. The battery life is solid (though the sale is on the tool alone; if you don’t have a Flex battery and charger you’ll need to either buy it separately or buy the kit).
