Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rockwell RK5100K SoniCrafter 21-Piece Kit
Customer Review: READ ALL TECH SPECS AND COMPARISONS FIRST!!!! THIS ONE IS NOT VARIABLE SPEED
Summary: 4 Stars
First off I want to make people aware that the 20pc kit IS NOT VARIABLE SPEED. I made the mistake of going to Rockwell's website and reading the tech specs area and it showed variable speed but did not show it to be only on certain models. My mistake. I received the 20pc kit yesterday and was very disappointed to find that it was not variable speed. Now with knowing this I went back to the Rockwell website and looked at the individual kit contents and saw that the 20pc kit did not list the variable speed. I dont understand why underneath of that is a technical specs section that does show variable speed and doesnt show it as only being on certain models. Very frustrating. Rockwell needs to change that. I tried to leave a review on the Rockwell site making people aware of this but when I submitted my review I got a message saying that I already submitted a review. I certainly dont know how I would have submitted a review before as I just received my Sonicrafter for the first time and never used one before.
Now with that being said, I think for the $20 savings I can probably live without the variable speed since I dont want to go thru the hassle of returning and re-ordering and I have a project I want to get started on. I made some test runs with it and it didnt cut too easy thru small nails and that is what I really need it for. Its gonna be time consuming I can see. But with patience and by not forcing it thru I believe it will do the job. I need it to remove some 2x6s I have nailed,screwed and glued down to my subfloor. It was a platform for a whirlpool tub and I need to remove it for a new whirlpool tub with a different shape. It did cut thru the 2x6 as well, but again, it was slow. I believe they do work best when not applying alot of pressure and just letting the tool do the work.
Overall the tool felt good in my hand and seemed to be well built. For the little bit I did the blade did not come loose at all as I have seen others complain about. My belief there is that they are not tightening it up enough. Just make sure the allen wrench is firmly inserted into the bolt and tighten it up and I think it will be fine. After cutting thru 2 nails and a section of 2x6 there was no indication whatsoever of looseness to the blade. I do like the case as well for the most part. The long cord is a struggle to get stored back in the case and the velcro strap for wrapping the cord up is too short. I couldnt get it back around it. But as mentioned before, the case does have nice studs inside for storing the blades.
Overall I believe for the price it will be a fine tool. I just believe Rockwell could do better in describing. I see in the description that it is supposed to have the scraper blade but I didnt see one in my kit.

Whether you're a professional woodworker or an avid do-it-yourselfer, the RK5100K is an effective way to streamline your work. Easily carried in its compact, lightweight bag, the kit can be kept at your fingertips for all your remodeling, installation, and repair projects.
Starting with the basics, the 21-piece multipurpose kit comes with a Sonicrafter tool and includes two cutting blades, a sanding pad, and 15 sanding sheets that help you to make plunge cuts, flush cutting door jams, and sand, with professional-grade results. It also includes a hex key and carry bag.
The kit's versatile capabilities come in handy when performing multi-duty tasks, such as exposing hardwood flooring. First, the universal end-cut blade easily cuts through thick linoleum. Then, the sanding system takes over, helping you efficiently polish those hard-to-reach spaces.
High-Frequency Oscillation for Smooth, Safe Precision
For the safest and most accurate work, the RK5100K features super high-frequency oscillation technology. This means that instead of rotating, it makes 20,000 back-and-forth oscillations per minute for ultra smooth, efficient results. Because there are no fast-spinning parts or alternating blades, there are no threats of kickback.
Thanks to its advanced design, the RK5100K cuts only hard materials when fitted with a blade attachment. This way, the tool easily cuts heavy-duty materials, while keeping the user's hands and fingers safe.
The RK5100K can cut wood, thin metals, fiberglass, masonry, plastic, carpet, flooring, cement board, and even vinyl siding.
High Sanding Capacity with Low Dust Levels
For sanding jobs, this tool requires very little downward pressure and delivers great accuracy. And its slim body enhances your sanding capabilities, allowing you to work on edging and corners that are often not possible to reach with other tools. Plus, it affords you quick and easy clean-up, throwing a very low level of dust whether you're sanding, cutting, or scraping.
Easy Handling with Lightweight Frame and Soft Grip
The RK5100K has magnesium alloy gear housing, making it lightweight enough for extended use and rugged enough for long-term durability. The soft, ergonomic grip offers you optimum comfort and control while you tackle the job at hand.
