Ridgid R28700 Oscillating Multi-Tool vs Ridgid Oscillating 4-Amp Corded Multi-Tool
These are the same Ridgid 4-amp corded oscillating multi-tool sold under two listings, so the choice comes down to which listing you trust, not which tool is better. Both run 5,000 to 20,000 OPM, weigh 4.25 lbs, use tool-free accessory changes and carry Ridgid's lifetime service agreement when registered within 90 days. Owner feedback is mixed at 3.4 out of 5, with complaints centered on vibration, noise and blade wobble rather than power. Buy either one for light trim, cut-out and sanding work around the house; if you need sustained heavy cutting, a stronger corded model from another brand is the step up.
- Choose the Ridgid R28700 if you want the listing that spells out the full kit, including the segment blade, wood blade, sanding pad, sandpaper sheets and universal adapter.
- Choose the Ridgid Oscillating 4-Amp Corded Multi-Tool if this listing is the one in stock or the one whose specs you can verify, since the tool itself is the same.
