Saw a huge difference after switching to a oscillating trimmer for doorways

I used to use a knee kicker and a hook knife for trimming around door jambs and it always looked a little rough. Last month I picked up a oscillating trimmer from Harbor Freight for like 40 bucks just to try it. The difference in how clean the edge sits against the jamb is night and day. I did a whole 12 foot hallway with 3 doorways in about 45 minutes. Has anyone else found a tool that just changed the way you finish a certain part of the job?

Still managed to cut myself with it on the first doorway though.

Still managed to cut myself with it on the first doorway" got me laughing cause I did the same thing. I used to think those oscillating trimmers were overpriced junk, but watching how clean it cut made me eat my words. Now I won't go back to anything else for door jambs.
