Thought I would start a thread for folks to report on other budget tools that are a good value.

I was recently in the market for an oscillating cutter to do some tile and trim work. After searching Harbor Freight and some online offerings I happened to walk down the tool isle in Walmart. I came across the Hyper Tough brand. It's a 2.1 amp variable speed cutting tool for less than HF price. They also have blade packs with an assortment of 4 blades for the price of one blade at HF.

Some of the reviews I've read on other brands complained of the tool getting too hot to hold after a while. I have run this one for up to an hour without rest and the handle remains cool. The head gets plenty hot and it has a fan blowing out the left side at the head you need to be mindful of but the tool handle stays cool. The cutter seems ready to work as long as you want.
