New Sonicrafters and Sonictool accept Universal Fit accessories, as well as prior-model Rockwell hex-shape accessories and competitive accessories. The new Rockwell Universal Fit tools and accessories are a win-win. Some competitors offer adapters to help make their tools compatible with other brands, but the competitor’s adapters still don’t allow their tools to accept any brand of blade or accessory available. So users are stuck with an expensive proprietary system or need to drive across town to buy the one and only brand of blades that fits on their tools. Most other oscillating multi-tool brands only accept their own proprietary accessories. The Sonicrafter (RK5139) jumps from 2.3 to 2.5 amps and the Shop Series Sonictool increases from 2.0 to 2.3 amps. The Sonicrafter X2 (RK5140) leads the way with an increase from 2.3 to 3.0 amps. Rockwell also has ramped up the amps in its new corded oscillating multi-tools, increasing their power and cutting efficiency. “In light of our total commitment to the Universal Fit system, all previous Rockwell oscillating tool and accessory kits will be discontinued with the new program’s launch.” “The exclusive Universal Fit system, plus the Hyperlock tool-free design on selected models, make the new Sonicrafters and Sonictool the most versatile and convenient oscillating multi-tools available to homeowners and professionals,” said Pete Denley, Rockwell product manager. So no more stopped cuts because the blade slips in the tool. This is the highest accessory clamping force on any tool-free oscillating tool. The convenient new Hyperlock™ tool-free (quick-release) feature on two new Sonicrafters, RK5139K and RK5140K, provides one ton of clamping force to prevent slippage of blades and other accessories. In addition, a new assortment of Rockwell universal accessories is designed to fit competitive multi-tools. These major refinements include the industry’s first Universal Fit™ system that enables three new Sonicrafters®, as well as a Shop Series Sonictool™, to accept other brands’ accessories without adapters. – Rockwell®, a pioneer of affordable oscillating multi-tools, has raised the bar again by providing innovative solutions to key design issues that continue to vex competitive brands.
