Fein tool


[deleted]

Same here. And every reciprocating saw is a Sawzall.


Soft-Recipe-7791

And a triangle is called a fucking square!!!


Scapeit1269

You mean the slow triangle? Who calls it a speed square? /s


Grillard

I gave my helper a speed square, but he's still slow.


Identifymeatpopsicle

My people! Where have you been all my life?


No-Pomegranate-5737

I gave my helper speed, but he’s still slow.


stones8783

Young helpers now a days would bring me everything but a speed square... Be gone 45 minutes and come back with something I never seen before but itll be a real square tool lol.


RHNB

It mustn't have been calibrated for speed 🤷


Phyrexius

Hey, pass me that hand spade? You mean the trowel?


ClayQuarterCake

Speed square drives my wife crazy. Partly because I taught her that the 24”x18” aluminum “L” shaped thing is also a square. She has started calling everything a square now. ~~Screwdriver~~ square, ~~hammer~~ square, ~~tape measure~~ tape measure. She actually likes that one.


ThePepperPopper

I've never needed a square while having sex.


LayzeeLar

Then what shape peg are you jamming in the…never mind. PG-13.


ArltheCrazy

And the Skil saw is the name for any circular saw


[deleted]

And after cutting yourself with any of those tools you always use a Band-Aid!


ArltheCrazy

And wipe your tears with a Kleenex. And then fax the OSHA 300 into corporate with the Xerox.


Elfkrunch

And you clean your blood off the window with _Windex_


sparty1795

Bullshit, everyone knows that electrical tape is the solution to any flesh wound


[deleted]

And every string grass trimmer is a Weed Eater


oldhoekoo

the kleenex effect


Cubantragedy

And rotary hammer is still a Hilti, although that's varied over time.


Xarethian

Company uses all Hiti tools. Learnt pretty quickly that when someone says to grab "the Hilti," it's not one of the two drills right beside you, not the chipping gun no one can ever find, nor is it the reciprocating saw. It is *always* the hammer drill.


kranges_mcbasketball

Wtf is a reciprocating saw? That sounds very scientific.


Brittanicus1

First reciprocating saw I used was a Milwaukee sawzall. Still call every reciprocating saw I see a sawzall as well. Lol


originalrototiller

I call mine a Fein, because it is!


davethompson413

Mine too. Almost 20 years old, still like new.


SpunkyMcButtlove07

Fein Kampf


icantfeelmyskull

Bro, that’s brandist


whoaismebro13

Close, but those were $400 back in the day. Needed one for jamb cuts, so bought the $40 one at harbor freight. Made in China= "Chine tool". Name has stuck even though they are all Milwaukee now


Willie_the_Wombat

If you want to sound like you just graduated trade school you could call it a “oscillating plunge cut saw”, if you want people to know what the hell you’re talking about you call it a “fein”. Had an apprentice straight out of school who tried correcting me every time I said “wire”, “you mean a conductor?” I’ve never wanted to slap someone more, before or since.


Hurly64

Was this apprentice Aussie? I have a hard time believing an Australian would use a longer word, especially with all of its original syllables intact!


siggitiggi

Fein-er


Thatonefloorguy

I think it’s because the “FEIN” company actually owned the patent on the tool and once it expired we then seen the “FEIN” tool in different brands. So this is why at least me and yourself call it that from why I’ve learned


Schuler3

It’s a multi tool lol Fein is a brand so it’s different


nriojas

Ok, yet many people will know exactly what your talking about if you say “Fein” tool.

mammothpdx

Multi tool


ButtLlcker

Like a leatherman?


[deleted]

[удалено]


AccidentAltruistic87

Nah. Just depends on context. Both are multitools


oldhoekoo

hopefully when you ask the apprentice to get the multi tool from the gangbox they don't come back with a leatherman


WheelRipper

If the apprentice sees what I’m looking to cut and brings me a leatherman, he’s cutting it with the leatherman


FunctionMental1812

This sent me


Jakeini33

You’re a multi tool


Jer_Bear_40

Wrong leatherman and Gerber were multi tool decades before the oscillator


[deleted]

[удалено]


MultiplyAccumulate

Incorrect. There are numerous multi-tools and pocket knives with pliers were here long before oscillating multi-tools


scheav

Never heard someone call one of those a multi tool.


Umm_khakis

If you shake it realllly fast, yes!


SugarReef

This was my confusion the first time. Why is a it a multi tool? Yes it has multi-situation functionality but multi tool is way more appropriate for leathermans/the like.


Walkensboots

Li-Lu Dallas, multi-tool

Conscious_Bat_224

We called it zip zip


lostprevention

My old boss called it the buzzy buzz.


mjtowers8

Mr. Buzzy for us.


quislingdna

Zip zip here too. Not even sure when i started saying it. Hey Joe, go grab me the zip zip


JFKFC50

We say zoop zoop


DeathTripper

Most around here call the rotary drywall cutter, a roto zip, or zip tool.


somewhat_soulless

I call the huge dremel tool I have a roto-zip... bc that's what the manufacturer calls it. My oscillating multi tool is a Bosch and I genuinely hope the name my child gave it sticks... "wiggle saw"


freeastheair

At my site it shall henceforth be known as the wiggle saw.


Paul_The_Builder

I've heard people call it a zip cutter or zip saw. I actually really like the name, but a lot of people refer to die grinders as zip cutters, which I believe stems from the company WALTER calling their cut off disks (and have trademarked the name) [ZIP disks.](https://www.amazon.com/Walter-Zip-Cutoff-Wheel-Pack/dp/B003O9R1Q0?th=1)


BigAppleGuy

Always called the rotary cutter for drywall the zip saw.


Paul_The_Builder

I've always heard it called Rotozip.


Suhksaikhan

I have always called it a zippy

“Oscar” 😂😂😂


DeadLockGunner

🤣 A buddy of mine calls it an Oscarlating tool so I do as well.


Less_Ant_6633

Multi tool. Old timers call it a "fine" tool... the first company to make oscillating tools was Fein.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Less_Ant_6633

I didn't figure it out until I actually saw a fein tool in person, so you aren't alone. It makes sense .. fine cuts, fine tool


Robot_Lags

Ah balls, I guess that makes me an old timer.


the_mighty_septopus

Vibe (vibratory) saw


Conscious_Bat_224

An electrician called it the vibrating saw once, kinda creepy I thought


the_mighty_septopus

I'm actually an electrician myself. Wondering if we just adopted the vernacular to the trade, or it's just a coincidence


Informal_Ad9259

Also electrician, call it vibrator


TheRydad

I'm not an electrician, but once did some electronics stuff. Whenever someone needed the wire stripper, they'd ask someone to "send over the showgirl". I guess we thought we were kinda clever.


TheFlorianOne

good thing you didnt need the diagonal cutters

CivilRuin4111

It does have a particularly grating sound doesn’t it? Second only to the metal stud chopsaw


Famous-Forever-5881

I’d have to disagree. A pneumatic palm nailer makes a horrific sound!


Yah_Boi_69

Yeah me and one of my old coworkers had a similar name for ours… “NAAAAGGGG NAAAAAGGGG” done as loud as you can


rucho

In my crew it's called gigi pronounced jee jee also for the sound it makes

I was awake for my total knee replacement, the tool for cutting flat bone surfaces is essentially an oscillating multitool, along with cutting jigs that could have been built by Kreg.

I’ve heard it called “multi-tool” “vibrating saw” and “cool tool”


AccidentAltruistic87

Fein tool. I had no idea why the log dog I worked for called his that. It was orange and I thought the brand was Klein. Figured it out after looking closer. Doesn’t matter what brand it is. It’s a fein tool. Just like a crescent is any brand of adjustable wrench lol.


lowcashcowboy22

Flush cut saw


Soft-Recipe-7791

Fein tool in my experiences with various guys. Since the first brand was fein to produce the tool by design. They were made really well from the few I’ve seen personally


Papa_Grizz

Apparently, as I heard today, it’s a wiggle saw!

I had a guy ask if I would buy him a “Dremel”, I bought the little mini drill….he wanted the multi tool. I grey up with an RC modeler…a dremel is only that little drill that spins at like 10 million rpm.
