That's a beauty! Very simple, reliable design. By the way, you can get almost all spare parts new online. They even sell upgrade kits to make it look and feel a bit more like the newer versions.

Curious, usually they all get Stickdrift after some time, due to the design of the potentiometers. Hall effect sensors would be a better choice. Can't think of any BIFL option, these types of electronics tend to be designed to be "consumed" these days

Reply to ?best electric multitool (detail sander, drill, screwdriver, saw, etc...) by rackhamlerouge9
I'd say that's quite impossible. These tools may be able to do many different things, but they never do as good as the dedicated tool. So I think there just isn't a market for such tools in the professional user community, so options will be limited to "Homeowner/Handyman" quality stuff.
Cosidering ur primary needs, I'd suggest maybe getting a Fein Multimaster or a similar oscillating multitool plus a small drill. If you get the 12V cordless Multimaster you could get a compact drill using the same battery (ASCM 12 QC for example)
Nothing wrong going with Bosch Professional variants instead, this would give you access to a wider selection of future tools.
The Multitool can be used for detail sanding, cutting wood/metal (small stuff) , scraping, tile cutting etc.

Try it when the machine is hot. Once you got it, I suggest replacing it with a countersunk stainless hex screw, this reduces the profile and makes it easier to remove it. I often had an imprint of the original screw in the puck, not a huge deal but I like it better without it.
