Background

This device is a Porter-Cable PCC710B 20V MAX Lithium-Ion Oscillating Multi-Tool. The model number is PCC710B and it was first released in the year 2013. Its distinguishing features include a trigger mechanism to attach blades and other attachments. Because this is a cordless tool, it will need a separate 20-volt battery that attaches and slides in at the base of the tool.

Identification

The Porter-Cable PCC710B is an oscillating multi-tool. This means that the tool does not rotate (circular motion), but instead moves back and forth very quickly. Although your tool might not look exactly the same, other oscillating multi-tools have a similar general appearance. This particular oscillating multi-tool is a handheld device that is tubular (cylindrical) in structure. This oscillator has black and gray coloring with its logo and name in white near the battery and base of the tool. Additionally, you should expect your device to have two switches: an on/off switch and a rotary setting switch.
