I'd get the carrying case that comes with the drill. Sometimes you can get a better price if you buy the package that's merely in a cardboard box, sans carrying case, but I don't think it's a good way to go. The carrying case protects the guns better and you can store bits and drivers in it. Other tool boxes are varied, just need to hunt them out.

IF...IF, you can figure out how to put the goldurned thing back in the plastic box after you take it out....

We have that problem with the Dewalt drill at the shop.

I have a couple old, metal, Makita and Dewalt boxes....
None of those weird structural ribs...

Guard them with my life.

I miss the old boxes. I'm not sure what they are trying to accomplish with those weird ribs, I crack a few out on every new case to increase what I can stuff inside it.

That was the very first job I did when I bought a dremel.... cut a bunch of those things out. Good practice getting used to a new tool.

The box that my old Milwaukee 10" circular saw came in can hold half a case of beer (if it didn't have the saw in it), and could be used as a jack stand. (although it would be hard to get the beer out...)

In my DeWalt 18v drill case I have two extra batteries, and two yellow DeWalt boxes full of drill bits and driver bits, as well as the handle, and a ton of miscellaneous screws and drill bits. Its 2008 vintage, but the new ones are a joke when you open the cases, I don't know what DeWalt was thinking.

Mostly I think they were thinking cheap packaging which will still look good to dude's wife when she goes christmas shopping at Home Depot...

Seems like the plastic is getting thinner too. Just bought another hammer drill because it was a good deal for the two Li-Ion batteries (didn't need the tool)
and the box seems thinner and weaker than ever before

The boxes for the newer 18 volt Makita impact drivers are much more practical than the older ones. None of that molded stuff with wasted space behind.

Resurrecting an old thread.

I got hits on it searching for oscillating multi tool. Anyone use one of these tools?

I see ads for them all of the time and it looks like it could be useful. Also looks like they want to trap you into buying a bunch of attachments for it. I could use it to cut some old sheetrock right now.

Is it mostly marketing or is it a keeper?

Only used one once but it worked very well. That was a milwaukee 12v model. Used it to cut a box into a wall that had wood panel on top, sheetrock under that, and plywood behind the sheetrock. Took about 3 minutes.
