Nice article. I always thought Bozeman was in Montana...I guess there is one in Minnesota as well?

Looks like an error. According to their web site, Lowell Thomas is in Bozeman, Montana.

I enjoy reading the product reviews in the magazine.

Bob, like you, my favorite hand sanding tool is a random orbit sander. I am intrigued by the Dremel Multi-Max, however. I like the small size and delicate/small area sanding the tool should offer. The scraper is a nice touch, but I have to admit, I seldom do refinishing.

The only problem I had with Dremel in the past was with a beautiful set I bought from them which included a variable speed rotary tool with lots off attachments and tons of "bits." The problem was that there was nothing in the set which described what each attachment was for. For example, I would have a tough time knowing which spinning disk to use for the material I was trying to cut through, be it wood or a rusty nail. It did provide a nice carrying case for the 100+ rotary attachments, however, LOL.

When I do get it straight, the tool works well, though.

Thanks for the review. Maybe I'll add the Multi-Max to my workbench soon.

Bob have you had a chance to compare the Multi-Max with any of the other new oscillating tools?? I bought the Rockwell Sonicrafter and am very happy with that. I just wondered how the other compared.

I have the Dremel Stylus rotory tool & it works great. Came with a kit, including bits, wrench etc. I like the idea of being able to just put it back on the charger & not worry about it over charging. No problem with Dremel here ! Perk
