Hello Everybody,
Couple of questions, are the blades proprietary and with everybody and their brother with versions, of course with out the fancy doohickys, do I really need to spend 3 times as much? Rigid, bosch, rockwell et all all around 100-150 bucks.
It is way better than those 3 you mention, more rigid and powerful. Don't know about the USA, but in Europe it is easy to get 3rd party blades for the Festool Vecturo. The Vecturo is a rebrand/adaptation of the Fein Supercut that exists for many years already. They use the same blades.

That is a serious amount of money for what is effectively an electric toothbrush with a saw blade attached. Can not think of a single use for such a tool.
You're not serious, are you? A toothbrush with a saw blade attached is incredibly useful. For instance, trim that's attached to a wall, you don't need to remove it now to cut a bit off. Same when working with pipes along a wall. There are so many uses, too much to name. An oscillating tool is a unique tool and I wouldn't want to be without one.
What's so good is that you can plunge directly into the material, and there's no other cutting tool that can do that.
