I subscribed to you guys about 3 years ago when VCG Construction had barely subscribers at all. I'm not even into construction at all I just thought this channel was funny for some reason so I subbed Idk how I even found out about this channel. Now fast forward 3 years later you guys are at 342k and its insane to see the growth of a small little channel that barely anyone in the world knew about. Wish you guys nothing but the best!!
Thanks D we really appreciate it! 👍🏻
Same here....I kind of felt bad for VCG Construction at the time. Now I find myself like Pavlov's dogs every time I get a notification. The great content and personalities bring me back.

Show of hands, who winced when he turned the Makita on with the blade facing inwards and tossing it around?
holy shit...
Yep 🤚
Yes literally winced and then scrolled down to read the comments.
Seriously, are people really that concerned about getting hurt from a multitool blade interaction 🙄 Come on now, I get bigger cuts from the random cardboard box than one of these tools 🤣 It's not a table saw or a gas torch that u need to be concerned about safety like that 😑👍🏻
@@busaj383 Wincing and being amused by a lucky careless error when it easily could have been cut and re-shot isn't the same as being "really that concerned." It's just a silly lack of professionalism that we all noticed. I don't want him to get a boo-boo
This dude probably takes huge bong rips before he records. Good shit 😎
He probably has a Atomic DeWalt Bong
You can rip coke out of a bong?
That was tough to watch.....and listen to!
The m12 fuel is a beast. Finally retired the DeWalt I can actually feel my hands at the end of the day
I used to be a DeWalt guy. Then I bought a Makita circular saw, then a Makita router (Made in Japan!!!), then an used 20 year old Makita belt sander that runs and performs better than most new belt sanders!
The battery on my DeWalt drill is no good now. Normally I would just replace the battery, but I can't pass up the opportunity to use that as an excuse to get a Makita drill!
Years back before Dremel or anyone has an oscillating tool, Fien was out, we used to ( and still do sometimes) call these "Fein tools" and not multi tools or oscillating tools. This was a Fein, like a recip. saw is a Sawzall. We bought in on a payment plan off an infomercial in the 90s.
Fien I believe patented the tool and was the only manufacturer, the patent ended (I believe) or they licensed the design now everyone makes one
I'm not a tool snob but I've grown to dislike my Dremel and it's bad runout and overpriced accessories. Proxxon makes some very nice rotary tools that cost only a bit more
I have a fein tool, a 636 ii, and a new Bosch 40-30, let me tell you fein tool is no match, for the Bosch little brother, 636 to much vibration not enough cutting
Their very expensive tools arent they.i think i seen a video by that youtuber vince at a tool convention and gave there multi tool a great review but wanted 200 + for one
I remember the infomercials, thought it was a cool new tool, but never bought one until I needed to do come baseboard/door casing work. I bought the Dremel... that was a mistake. Now I'm looking at a replacement, and even though I'm an 18v/20V Max/12V Max Dewalt guy, I'm heavily leaning towards the M12 Fuel tool. The one pro I give the Dremel, is its size. The M12 fuel with the smaller battery seems to be the same size, maybe smaller. I kinda wish Dewalt had a similar oscillating tool in their 12v max line-up, since I'm already in that line.
Careful buddy u almost had a few stitches there with the makita lol
😭 I was dying when I read this comment..
I paused to look at the comments if anyone else noticed that 👀
Holy shit! I jusr saw that!
Really... u think u are going to need stitches if u get nicked with one of these tool blades 🤔 Oh ok 🙄 The 4° cutting angle with not even draw blood in most cases unless u try really hard 👍🏻
@@busaj383 lol but it will cut through metal?
I just picked up the new Metabo MT 18 LTX BL QSL. I like it so far, id say it compares to the Bosch pretty well. Its got a funny way of using the starlock mount but still making you use a pin which is a bit odd though.
This power tool channel is fully of energy. My No1 go to place for power tools!
Us smaller guys kinda have to go with the brand we're invested in. I build furniture and I go with the finesse of Makita. I need a multitool for my side work so I'm glad to hear Makita does that well.
Had anyone else pictured George Costanza doing this? Legendary
I had the Ridgid electric one for a long time, but rarely used it because plugging a tool in and out several times is just a pain that is not worth it; I use it mostly for cutting in caddy rings. Since I got the Milwaukee M18 one, I use it a lot, along with my M18 vacuum so that as I cut in the rings, I suck up all the dust at the same time. No cleanup time!
Hi Nick, im a carpenter across the pond in the UK. Love your channel and the advice is spot on.
However, the comparison on product to value for money would change this video all together because I have used everything from green Bosch right up to Panasonic and festool and I have found that the most rugged, long lasting and power to weight ratio tooling on the market is DeWalt. I have Festool equipment sitting in my workshop whilst my van is fully loaded with the DeWalt kit.
What are your views on quality vs value?
I have the Bosch multitool and indeed is a beast. Starlock system is incredible, as well as Xlock and SDS systems. Time savers.
Agreed on most. Just got a Skil 12 volt oscillating tool.
It’s brushless, quick release, halo light in front, lite weight. Variable speed too.
Check it out. I thought of Skil 12 volt like a Porter Cable, Harbor Freight, Black and Decker level tool.
Not any more. Has a 5 year warranty too. Nice to have another option.
How is it holding up? I was thinking of getting the Skil 20V myself. It appears to be one of those brands that you can really support and get behind. The prices are very reasonable especially for what you get.
Skil has really up their game drill and impact driver about 80% as good as Milwaukee DeWalt but there nail driver oscillating tool and impact ratchet are superior or equal to anybody with a five year warranty for much less cost
YEAH BABY!!! LET'S GO!!!
Wide range of options for any level and budget requirements. Only thing i'd say with the Festool is dust extraction and battery costs do not make sense to me when teathered to a vac hose.
Great job Nick. Happy New Year VCG.
Thanks for the in-depth opinions of these tools!
Ahh, so good to see Bosch getting up there! Love Bosch stuff!
Bosch used to be the big dog. So was makita. Thirty years or so ago.
@@dumdiversaspapalbull1452 Bosch was the innovator and in some cases the creator of some power tools used now. I’m in their 18v line and while I’d admit that they don’t offer the selection of some other top tier brands(in the U.S.A), Europe actually has a wider selection, prices are high etc... they still have their place. Also people on these channels praise the starlock/ quick change style etc... and Bosch is the company that patented that. So in short they are still relevant, reliable, of good quality and I do see them making A resurgence if they can expand the 12 V line to offer as many tools as Milwaukee and Dewalt. They were the first with the rotary, palm router etc... people hate on Bosch for the wrong reasons.
@@6atlantis I used to love their little hammer drills. The one that was shaped like a recip saw. They call them rotary hammers now. It was light and always ready to go. Perfect for drilling overhead and installing redheads/drop-in-anchors.
@@dumdiversaspapalbull1452 I think they were always called rotary hammers with maybe hammer drill as slang(in that period). Bosch patented the first rotary drill too I think. They still have some of the best rotaries, corded and cordless, “full size” all the way to the crowd favorite Bulldog(that’s actually on sale now).
Bosch still kills it with electric tools.. but they do need to step up in the battery R and D/cordless department. But I'm completely ignorant of the EU market.. I know makitas stuff in Japan is better built, and is red and looks dope
When I started doing carpentry I've always known the oscillating tool as the "Fein Knife" regardless of brand. Never even used the Fein brand but I'd say they must have made a hell of an impact. we're currently rocking the M18 Non-Fuel Oscillating tool, definitely have to convince my boss to get the fuel version!
When I was an auto glass tech I called mine a "Fein knife" too. I had the automotive version which accepted only automotive blades.. just the tool itself was 600 dollars 😬😬😬
Fein invented the oscillating tool in 1968 and the patent only ended fairly recently so until then you could ONLY get a Fein multitool, that's most likely why
Still love you guys, a builder for 25 years, keep it coming!!!!
Love the video... Great list... Keep up the great work y'all are doing
Just got the Makita for Christmas from the Mrs and I love it! 😁👍✌
Bosch AND fein invented Starlock. It was a Coop between them. Hope this gets read. Also, i cant understand why you put the inferior bosch model higher than the far superior fein and festool Models on the list. All of them have Starlock after all and the fein has a higher oscillating "Radius" AND higher speed and even anti Vibraton systems
Nick is cool but he doesn’t make accurate lists. I mean he prefers Dewalt so you can’t blame him for not knowing what’s best 😂
You are 1,000% correct! Plus, the top model from FEIN has the most ROBUST, precise and durable oscillating mechanism, even sturdier than Festool by a wide margin. Also, the Makita is heavy because it is a solidly built tool, closer to FEIN's robustness that the DeWALT...
Alfredo, Fein makes the Festool multi tool and they are identical lol
@@BoraWE Not so... There are Three different "levels" of tool in the FEIN line, and their construction is different...
Flex as well
Good stuff...thanks for posting! ☕️🤘
I’ve always used the m12 and had the m18 in the box sitting for a while. I tested the m18 out one day and I must say it has much more power (obviously). They are equal because one is strong and the other is nimble
Good video Nick, well thought out.
I use Fein as it has been my choice for many years.
I think with Fein, Festool, Bosch, or Makita there all excellent choices.
I didn't have any experience with any of the Milkwakee, but I am sure it is a good option.
I did think much of the Dewalt do to its construction and performance. Although I know a number of people that love it and use them all the time.
The cheap stuff it just that, cheap stuff. If I where a home gamer. I would go with a corded model Bosch at around $200.00. There strong and for now future proof with parts, warrent, and blades.
love my m12 multitool. comes in handy
Makita baby! Despite the weight I love my Makita oscillating tool
Love that you put M18 pro but M12 expert. Both great tools but that M12 is special, absolutely can keep up with the rest but in one of the smallest lightest packages. Great video.
Just picked up the M12 fuel. I maintain an apartment building that was built in 1905.. I have a feeling I'll be getting a TON of use out of it.
Vince spoke very highly of the skil pwrcore brushless multi tool. Surprised it didn’t make your list
Yes he did... what's up with that?
especially when he had the 12v version sitting on the bench with the rest... I have it, it's pretty decent.
A heads up. Kobalt brought out a new mower that uses a pair of 24v batteries. It comes with a dual charger and 2 5.0ah batts. And it’s self propelled for $400.
I've seen too many guys who are messed up from prolonged contact with a vibrating tool of some kind. I care way more about low vibration than I do about shaving a couple seconds off a tool change.
The latest Makita and Milwaukee have good vibration control, and Fein (and the Festool branded one) has had excellent vibration control for ages. The Bosch is good but a little bit behind. DeWalt is okay, but not more than that.
Nearly all affordable ones have varying levels of reliability, but almost universally horrible vibration control.
More video Nick. Because of your videos I got the new Milwaukee M12 which should be tool of the year...Great video mate
These videos are awesome. Keep up the good work. 👏🏻
Hell yeah we want to see the Ryobi unboxed!
My Dewalt oscillating tool is the most used and my favorite power tool I own.
You are the man nick, picked up the m12 fuel oscillating tool a few days ago. Game changer for me.
I picked up a Dewalt Atomic oscillating tool with a 5 ah battery for 129.00 at the depot 8/30/21 I already had the XR I purchased back in 2019 for 99.00 with a 1.3 ah battery and a charger.
Great video! I hadn’t considered an oscillating multi tool before. Looks like I’ll have to pick one up.
The first year I owned one I used it only as a sander. I didn't even know it could do cuts. By the way, it is actually a great sander because it gets into corners which isn't something an orbital can do, and if you get the diamond coated sander then it lasts forever.
However, its ability to do weird cuts is why a multi-tool is simply indispensable. Multi-tool has got to be one of the most useful tools invented.
I'm still rockin' my 12v Craftsman Nextec and it works great. Sadly I cant find any batteries so I reckon its time for a new M12 - Thanks!
The Milwaukee oscillating tool isn't the only one with magnets. The Ridgid JobMax tool free head also has magnets to hold the blades in place while you clamp them down.
With TTR on the disabled list I haven't heard screams like this in months! 😂
Not a DeWalt fanboy, but that trigger lock is pure genius
Darn good to see you Nick
That’s a lot of good information on oscillating tools
Great job Nick!
Real talk, this guy had me question if I wanted to keep subscribing.
I like the Nick videos. Don't agree with everything he says but I appreciate his opinions.
If you've got opinions about these tools let's hear 'em
Soooooo agreed. Absolutely no need for the yells. Really annoying.
Dude you have some freaking great energy!
I really appreciate all the Knowledge thank u gentlemen, keep it up👍
Good review bro. Thanks for the expert advice.
I personally own the Bosch 18v multitool and it is nothing short of a ballerina in monsters clothing. This thing powers through anything it touches but does it so smoothly and paired with the Bosch starlock blades the cut is so fine, so thin, it’ll blow your mind. It’s just amazing. Props to Bosch
Bosch !!!!!! Had this baby for 1 1/2 years what a monster, variable speed and precision, love the starlock blades... Thanks Nick, where's Vince???
I just bought the m12 fuel. Nice 👌🏼
I actually loved the ranking system. Imagine if you guys do that for all the different lines of tools?
They are. This is like Concord Carpenter but louder
Glad to see you back Nick! 👍🏻
You forgot the skil brand, which VGC reviewed very positively. Sad.
We all make beginner mistakes, it'll be alright.
Great list! Glad to see Ryobi HP. Mine is great. I really want the Bosch 12 volt Starlock... but I don't need it! Lol
I do believe that's quite true Bosch design is indeed one of the quickest and I know it's catching on because I've been to Lowe's about a day before and I saw something like the Starl lock
system on a Dewalt 4.5 INCH angle grinder
Agreed, Milwaukee, and Bosch tools are the way to go.
You should update this review. I'd like to hear what you think of the new Skil PwrCore 20. I just purchased Milwaukee M12 Fuel, but for the price of the kit (even after discounts) I'm rethinking of switching it to Skil 20V. Just can't find a good comparison of both.
That was awesome man.
Im looking for my first one.
I'm noticing this tool is required more frequently than others in the jack of all trades relm.
If you use it for DIY you can't go wrong with a Ryobi. Been beating mine up for 2 years and now using it everyday at work and it's still going strong. If you need one as a Carpenter then I'd go Milwaukee M12
So glad vcg let you do another video, because you're the best!!!
Ok, so.. the reviews were awesome.... But a Personal THANK YOU !!! for time warping me back to the 1980's WWE promo spots!! I was waiting for The Piper to yell out, "When this DeWalt and I meet in mobile Alabama on the 24th and the Crisco arena.." I dig the vibe!! Awesome video!!
It's not just better motors in the Milwaukee FUEL tools. These are the things that all Milwaukee FUEL tools have.
All FUEL products feature three Milwaukee's exclusive innovations: the POWERSTATE Brushless Motor, REDLITHIUM Battery Packs, and the REDLINK PLUS Intelligence Hardware and Software. These three pillars are what make FUEL power tools deliver unmatched power, run-time, and durability on the jobsite
I have the Rockwell, and it’s awesome!
I have the Dremel 8300 for 2-3 years... I'm looking to replace it. It's got a pair of 1.3 Ah batteries, you get about 20 minutes of use,,and the body gets near scalding hot. The charger takes longer to charge a battery than it lasts in the tool. I can't believe y'all included it in the Pro/Expert category. This is an entry-level/barely intermediate user tool.
Agreed. Dremel is higher-end DIY at best. They are owned by Bosch, but are closer to DIY Bosch green tools than professional Bosch blue tools.
For a $100 we're talking not much difference in price might as well go with Milwaukee and you'll have something that's probably the best and it's going to last you a longtime. I have the Milwaukee M18 oscillator and I used and abused that tool daily probably one of the most used tools the size my screw gun and it still runs like brand new
Whats up VCG no love for Metabo HPT Or do they just not have a good enough offering? Also love the channel keep it up helps me work out my tool addiction haha
How could you not put the Ridgid JobMax up higher on the list?! I have the 18-volt version which only cost me $80 on sale and even though it's not the Octane one and it's still a beast, I got the tool free change head for it so it's super easy to change blades, also u can clip the attachment on it in 4 different directions. Not to mention it's a multitude of tools in one, I have the Roto-Zip head, the right angle drill head, the right angle 1/4" impact driver head and the Sawzall head for it! If I bought all those tools individually it would cost a fortune and take up a ton of room in my Toolbox! Imagine in addition to buying an oscillating tool that I had to buy a Ridgid Roto-Zip too $119l, a Ridgid right angle drill $139, a Ridgid one handed Sawzall $139 and a right angle impact and I'd have to buy a Milwaukee one for $149 unless I wanted to spend $204 on a makita one. And considering the most expensive attachment for my JobMax was the Sawzall attachment at $50 I think the JobMax is a killer deal and should be way up on the list since it replaces so many tools and saves you hundreds of dollars at the same time! Plus if it ever breaks it's lifetime warranties! Now don't get me wrong I have a lot of Ridgid tools but I have even more Milwaukee tools and will usually buy a Milwaukee tool over a Ridgid one but there's no denying that the JobMax is on hell of a versatile and tough ass tool and I would buy it and the attachment for it any day over buying all the Milwaukee tools that I need to replace it and all the attachments for it!
Great video! I purchased the milwaukee 18 FUEL!!!
Fein originally make the multi tool as a cast cutter, I remember the Dr pulling one out to cut my cast off as a kid in the 80's
If you have the money, which one would you purchase? I do like festtool, because of the accessories and dust control. What do you like?
I just looked and snap on has an “18V LI Reciprocating Saw” Would be sick to see a review with that.
Good evening sir. I can’t agree or disagree. I haven’t used any oscillating multi tools yet. I am curious where does the Skil Powercore fit? Vince spoke highly of their tool, especially their vibration mitigation. I’m in the Makita 18 volt platform. I’m very impressed with their tools. I only have a few currently, but I’m looking to expand. I’m strongly considering adding Milwaukee 18 volt. They have a few accessories that are very important to me. I like their power accessory that uses their batteries to power a 120 volt ( in my case medical device) and two USB ports. I’m strongly considering it plus two 12.0 Ah batteries plus a charger.
I have the fuel m18 and it's a monster. One of my favorite tools. It makes every other multitool I've used feel like a toy. I don't feel like it's too big or bulky personally
I'd put Skil in with Riyobi
Fantastic video,Ono Guy’s!
Agreed 100 percent with this list, especially because I just purchased the M12 Fuel based on VCG's recommendations. :)
Yes would love to see a test for the Roybi multi tool.
Ryobi overheats and you have to shut it off to cool down. By the second job it burned out. They have this problem. It gets so hot your hand burns.
Love this guy's energy lol
Love my ridgid octane tools and have all their heads
How do you feel now that ridgid has abandoned your octane ?
I have 3 octane multi tools so I’ll be good for a coupe years if I do need service and this model ain’t on their they will send me their newest one anyway so I don’t care
@@DanielGomez-cf6vk lol you can't be kidding me if you believe that your hilarious ... They will forsure fix your old octane and not send you the newest one ... Anyways ridgid has a bad reputation on there lifetime warranty ...
Love my Makita oscillating multi tool!
Just got the DeWalt DCS354B and love it.
I bought the m12 it’s my favorite tool now I’m just looking for a reason to use it
You can remodel my bathroom. You will get tons of use and we will both be happy.
Agreed. I just got M12 Fuel So stoked
That's what I said last night they were the original plus they are nice because they gave you like an 8 foot extension cord with the tool the only problem was there a Locking System after a while the top lock would get loose nice to see they went cordless
Nick we need to give you a nickname because you're bigger than life 99 percent of the time maybe Hollywood that's where you'll find the best brother
He reminds me of Mac Miller
Thanks for the info
Go Nick.
I see you!
I’m not sure if I should get the Milwaukee m12 even though I’m not a carpenter. I want it badly but I’m not sure if it’s needed but I’m most likely going to get it since Milwaukee the the way I go
I have the Bosch, the original Fien, and the Metabo HPT, the Metabo HPT is a mean machine. Bosch has a quicker blade change but they seem the same running them. Metabo quick blade change works well, it has never thrown a blade. Fein came out with the Starlock system, Bosch adopted it.
Bosch and Fein co-developed Starlock, but the engineering was mainly done by the Bosch department that also developed X-Lock for grinders and SDS for rotary hammers and jigsaws.
Makita is then usually one of the first companies to adopt these new interfaces. The 'US' companies (with DeWalt originating from Germany but being American these days, and Milwaukee originating from the US but being Chinese these days) sticking to cheaper classic interfaces and trying to make the best of it.
Idk why yall tripping. This guy made my day lol
This guys is great hahahaha! Love it my man!
I’m a dewalt guy so this might be biased, but I can definitely change my dewalt blade in half the time it takes you to unscrew that thing. The Milwaukee is still better because the maneuverability. But dewalt has the best blade change on the market
CORRECTION Bosch has the best blade change on the market
Bosch and Fein (they use the same system) ;)
I just picked up a few milwaukee tools and like 6 or 7 batteries but wont be using these tools a bunch i just like having good equipment. Can you do a video on how to store and maintain the batteries? Those things are crazy expensive and i wanna make them last a while. Thanks for the content!
Store the batteries upstairs away from the cold and moisture. Charge the batteries to roughly 40% aka 2 bars for longterm storage. Check the batteries every month and make sure the batteries didn't drain to zero. If they did drain to zero recharge them to 2 bars and let them sit again.
@@henri6595 thanks
That's right! Nick is back. The people have spoken!
You're a fu*kin trip!!!😆..
You got a new sub in me. Great content man!
Gonna grab myself a new "japan made" makita version tomorrow!
My new favorite channel
GREAT JOB NICK YOU DA BOMB!!!!
Some nice info, but do your research, man. Bosch AND Fein have invented the StarLock system. All the Fein tools have it for many years already. Bosch multitools are good, Fein are just better. The Festool multitools ( just the tools, not the accessories) - are made by Fein, actually they are Fein models in a Festool skin. You are right about the Makita - unbelievably smooth and quiet, just ridiculously big and heavy ( more like an angle grinder than a multitool). I have the Makita, Dewalt and a Fein SuperCut in my workshop. Very keen on that new small 12V Fuel Milwaukee one.
Hey I'm confused if #1 in each category is the best or the worst for that category? For instance, in the Prosumer/DIY category, is #1 Rigid better than #2 Kobalt etc. ? That's how I think you mean it but it is confusing at times. Fein is #1? or is Bosch? Fun to watch. Thanks!
They mean #1 is the best although I personally don't agree with the ranking. Dremel has questionable durability and seems to be more of a higher-end DIY brand. The Bosch OMT is great, but the Fein has better vibration control with the 500 and also more power with the 700, and uses the same Starlock interface, since it was co-developed by Fein and Bosch.
Awesome video nick I think next would be cordless grinders!
