I have a cordless B&D circular saw. It's not bad, but a bit wobbly, and only suitable for jobs where don't need the best accuracy.
is Oscillating Tool also called multi-function-tool?
Can I use it to cut bed legs, I just want to reduce the height of the bed, the thick mattress just bought made the bed too high for parents.

Yes to all of these questions! I assume the bed legs are made of timber - it should be fine for that. I'm not sure how square you'd be able to get the cut though. It might also be easier/faster/cheaper with a hand saw, especially if the legs are thick.
The multi-tool is great for doing plunge cuts like taking out a bit of trim in place, or making a new hole for a power outlet, not really the tool for cutting through something like that.
I probably wouldn't even bother with the power tool for that small of a job, but it is a useful tool to own. If you get one make sure you get some good quality hearing protection, mine is the loudest tool in my collection by far. When you turn it on, you might think it is quiet, but as soon as you touch it to the material everyone on your block will know what you're doing.
If the legs are quite thin the multitool would do a decent job as long as you are very good at cutting straight with it. Depending on if the legs are removable and the way they sit on the bed a circular saw (for wood) or an angle grinder (for metal) might be easier to get a nice flat cut.
Despite having a shed full of power tools (including all of the above mentioned) I'd probably just reach for my hand tools for that job.

If your only planning on getting it for occasional DIY your probably better off just buying a corded circ saw. Only a little more expensive than this discount and would be much higher build quality than a BD
This one is 240v
I have the 240v B&D circular saw and it's terrible, foot isn't parallel to the blade so it's impossible to get straight cuts on and makes it very prone to kickbacks, no way to adjust it either that I could see
Know which model this is? Manual here
BMT300-XE or BMT300KA-XE
The former has a lot more included attachments
The box I got shows the model as bmt300-kmxe. Came with 9 accessory attachments.
i picked up the line trimmer(comes with charger + 2.0ah battery) + 2x 4.0ah battery, came to $177 delivered. Reviews are decent for the trimmer, not so much for the other cordless items.
Cheers for the post.
Gone already, damn
Will the 5.0Ah battery fit the strimmer and blower?
Same question for the 4.0Ah battery, do they fit the trimmer and the blower? I bought the pair + 2 batteries
All the Black and Decker 18v/20v cordless tools work with these lithium batteries. I even use these batteries to power Ozito PXC skins I got for cheap from bunnings, with a home made 3d printed adapter. I got the B&D Matrix system 10+ years ago with 2 x 2Ah batteries, and followed up with hedge trimmer and blower. All still going strong.
Was the adapter your own design or did you find an stl for it? Keen to do similar.
@bargainshooter: I used two existing stl's, one for a B&D to makita adapter, and one from an einhell to something else adapter and morphed them. I kept it two piece which I found easier with the metal tabs and soldering. I will try find it and post it up on thingyverse.
anybody know what cells (size, quantity and brand) are inside the 5ah batteries? wondering if it's worth shucking for my 18650 needs
Are Black and Decker batteries compatible with Briggs and Stratton (Victa) tools?
No you would need an adapter to use them. The B&D batteries are similar to porter cable, dewalt, craftsman and stanley fatmax, but AFAIK still need minor mods to fit.
I can't see anything but a model train from that pic :P
Is this a tool-free blade change? How do you compare this with a cheaper XU1 version from bunnings (apart from the power difference)
Edit: nvm. It says in description that it has a tool free accessory change.
What all accessories do you get with it?The mouse sander any good?
Anyone have an opinion on the circular saw? I intend to one day do some DIY and feel it to be a handy addition to the arsenal.
