The PC250MTK retails for approximately $105.00 online here: According to George, “I have long trusted the Porter-Cable brand as did my father and his… Good work on the Multi Tool design.” ![]() His plan is to give one to his sister, who has a North Carolina business that services high end yachts. George approves of the saw, as do I, and has since claimed ownership of it. I was at first apprehensive of it’s light weight, but found the tool to have adequate power to cut everything I need to cut. The Porter-Cable PC250MTK has a comfortable grip and is light enough to use in all types of applications including overhead and out stretched arms. I’d like to see a vent at the rear of the tool or maybe discharge the air at the blade – kind of like a chip blower that many jig saws have. I’m not a tool engineer but I’m guessing that this is not good for the motor over time. Currently the vents are located directly where you naturally place your hand. This tools motor vents are in a spot that I would like to see moved. Many manufacturers are making tools with longer cords these days – no doubt after listening to their end users The variable speed unit has an oscillation angle of 2.8 degrees and comes equipped with a nice 10-foot cord. The PC250MTK runs on 120V electrical power and delivers 10,000–20,000 oscillations per minute (OPM) by way of a high-torque 2.5 AMP motor that can handle almost any job-site application. By simply pressing a lever, contractors can change the accessories or adjust the accessory or blade angle. This tool-less, no parts design was well thought out and once you try it you’ll see what I mean. A good gripping squeeze at the working end of the tool, and the blade disengages and your ready to change blades. The Porter-Cable PC250MTK multi-tool does not have removable parts. One slip and the removed part goes overboard. When presented with the Porter-Cable PC250-MTK, Carpenter George Gusler, related to me that in his experience working aboard yachts, any tool that had a part that must be removed often, will soon be useless. The very first time I installed a blade on the Porter-Cable Multi tool, I was impressed that I did not have to remove any part of the tool to install the blade. The most obvious feature would be the tool-less blade change which allows you to change the blade without handling any loose nuts or bolts. In our opinion, the PC250MTK has several advantages over the well known “Fein” multi-tool. Over the past month, my lead carpenter, George Gusler, has used the PORTER-CABLE Oscillating Multi Tool on a daily basis with much success. Most of the cuts we make with this tool saves us a ton of time and replaced traditional methods of cutting using a variety of tools such as: Japanese saws, back saws, scarey – nasty reciprocating cuts, chisels and utility knives. Porter-Cable recently sent me their PORTER-CABLE Oscillating Multi Tool to evaluate and review.Īs carpenters we use the Porter-Cable PC250MTK for cutting applications only – no sanding.
