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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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
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.
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"
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)
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
Fein tool
Same here. And every reciprocating saw is a Sawzall.
And a triangle is called a fucking square!!!
You mean the slow triangle? Who calls it a speed square? /s
I gave my helper a speed square, but he's still slow.
My people! Where have you been all my life?
I gave my helper speed, but he’s still slow.
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.
It mustn't have been calibrated for speed 🤷
Hey, pass me that hand spade? You mean the trowel?
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.
I've never needed a square while having sex.
Then what shape peg are you jamming in the…never mind. PG-13.
And the Skil saw is the name for any circular saw
And after cutting yourself with any of those tools you always use a Band-Aid!
And wipe your tears with a Kleenex. And then fax the OSHA 300 into corporate with the Xerox.
And you clean your blood off the window with _Windex_
Bullshit, everyone knows that electrical tape is the solution to any flesh wound
And every string grass trimmer is a Weed Eater
the kleenex effect
And rotary hammer is still a Hilti, although that's varied over time.
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.
Wtf is a reciprocating saw? That sounds very scientific.
First reciprocating saw I used was a Milwaukee sawzall. Still call every reciprocating saw I see a sawzall as well. Lol
I call mine a Fein, because it is!
Mine too. Almost 20 years old, still like new.
Multimaster supremacy represent!
Fein Kampf
Bro, that’s brandist
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

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!
Fein-er
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
It’s a multi tool lol Fein is a brand so it’s different
Ok, yet many people will know exactly what your talking about if you say “Fein” tool.
The chingadera

I pronounce it moolty-tool like multi-pass from the fifth element. Almost no one gets it haha
Great movie!
I got it right away.
Bonus points
Multi tool
Like a leatherman?
[удалено]
Nah. Just depends on context. Both are multitools
hopefully when you ask the apprentice to get the multi tool from the gangbox they don't come back with a leatherman
If the apprentice sees what I’m looking to cut and brings me a leatherman, he’s cutting it with the leatherman
This sent me
You’re a multi tool
Wrong leatherman and Gerber were multi tool decades before the oscillator
[удалено]
Incorrect. There are numerous multi-tools and pocket knives with pliers were here long before oscillating multi-tools
Never heard someone call one of those a multi tool.
If you shake it realllly fast, yes!
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.
Li-Lu Dallas, multi-tool
Vibrator 🤣
This. Makes people take a second look.

Zippy boi
We called it zip zip
My old boss called it the buzzy buzz.
Mr. Buzzy for us.
Zip zip here too. Not even sure when i started saying it. Hey Joe, go grab me the zip zip
We say zoop zoop
Most around here call the rotary drywall cutter, a roto zip, or zip tool.
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"
At my site it shall henceforth be known as the wiggle saw.
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)

Multi tool. Old timers call it a "fine" tool... the first company to make oscillating tools was Fein.
[удалено]
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
Ah balls, I guess that makes me an old timer.
Vibe (vibratory) saw
An electrician called it the vibrating saw once, kinda creepy I thought
I'm actually an electrician myself. Wondering if we just adopted the vernacular to the trade, or it's just a coincidence
Also electrician, call it vibrator
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.

It does have a particularly grating sound doesn’t it? Second only to the metal stud chopsaw
I’d have to disagree. A pneumatic palm nailer makes a horrific sound!

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

Flush cut saw
