SKIL's New Oscillating Multi-Tasker is Perfect for a Variety of At-Home Projects

MT. PROSPECT, Ill., April 19, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- If you only have room for one power tool in your life, SKIL has the right option for you. SKIL Power Tools is launching the new 1400-02 Oscillating Multi-Tasker™, an 11-piece multi-tool kit designed to help do-it-yourselfers with a variety of at-home projects. The versatility of the 1400-02 is perfect for fix-ups and installations, as well as light to medium-duty remodeling projects.

Whether leveling off piping, removing grout or sanding small furniture pieces, the 1400-02 offers convenient features that include: a powerful 2.0 amp motor, a no mar head to protect walls from scratches when cutting, a convenient, integrated dust extraction port for maximum dust collection and a soft-grip for added comfort and control.

The SKIL Multi-Tasker features OIS™ (Oscillating Interface System), a worldwide standard for universal accessory interface. This professional-grade system offers a 12-pin interface for a secure fit, confident use and long accessory life. Users of the 1400-02 who already have oscillating accessories in their workshop will appreciate the included adapter that allows non-OIS accessories to fit the Multi-Tasker.

In addition to a detail sanding pad and assorted grit sanding sheets, the 1400-02 comes with the following OIS accessories:
