I do not normally write reviews but in this case I will.This tool is of the best quality,I see now where dremel has one out.I have went through dremel tools in a week. I called the woodworker supply to complain that the $50 blade lasted for 2 inches in the cut before the teeth fell off. I have been restoring antique furniture for over 30 yrs. This is true since every day I find another job it can do.
It's been on the job daily for YEARS, trouble free. They gave me the direct # to Fein where I got a real person first,NO PRESS 1, explained the problem and was not only sent a replacment blade for the one I burned but the correct blade for the job (2 $50 blades) FREE. Now that's Customer Service. Viva Fein Don't settle for a cheaper clone. This tool is a Bear. Good for models,hobby stuff.I purchased this Fein tool when they first came out at the recommendation of the local woodworkers supply guy.
They even paid the shipping. John Gin As the store guy said, You will never put this tool back in the case. When they first came out the blades were pricey and I bought one for an application and immediatley burned it out cutting hard maple.
I'm reasonably certain that the Fein MultiMaster tool is nice, but for the price, I think I made the right choice. I became interested in this tool after seeing the popular TV infomercial. Because of the price, I started looking online for similar tools offered by other manufacturers to ensure I was making the wisest choice for my needs.I eventually stumbled across a "Harbor Freight Tools" sale ad that showed a VERY similar tool with a few accessories for $59.99 on sale for $39.99.So far, I am quite satisfied with my $39.99 "Harbor Freight Tools" alternative.
I didn't want to cough up the full price for the quick-change model, so I popped for the 'Start'.It worked perfectly and I will also use this to remove tile and thinset. I'm not excited about having to pay [.]. I would prefer that the blades lasted longer, and that the replacement cost was less, but overall I'm ok with it. So, a guy could make do with a chisel and put up with the gouges created by an errant sawzall or poorly controlled jig saw, held upside down, or, you could buy one of these things. bucks for any tool, but if you have a particular carpentry problem that the tool will solve easily, then you have to consider it. I had a number of crown moulding cuts that I had to do where the product was already installed.
the only draw back i see are the blades are costly and don't last long before they start smoking. it is great when you need to cut something that is in close quarters and the sawsall can't get in. this is a good tool but i sent it back not knowing at the time that this tool does not have the quick release. so i sent it back and order the other one with the quick release.
Blades are very expensive and wear quickly. A nice finishing tool but not for construction. If you cut a nail as advertised you will ruin a $15.00 cutting blade.
