March Construction Tool of the Month: Oscillating Tool

Our March Tool of The Month is the Oscillating Took, a favorite of the IVHFH construction crew who lovingly refer to it as the "Wiggler". IVHFH Construction Manager, Chris Weckmann, explains the Oscillating Tool and its use on the construction site. Watch the video to hear what he has to say.

What does Iowa Valley Habitat for Humanity use this tool for? It is primarily used to cut items in hard-to-reach places. For example, you may have limited space due to a fixed item like a fence or cabinet being in the way. The oscillating tool is essential because it has a thin blade that allows you to reach a difficult space and does not take much force to cut through material. It can be utilized for interior and exterior needs.
