I finally broke down and bought one. It sat around truck in my after playing with it for a while. Then one day, working at a new restaurant, I had to make a hole for the beverage line that the architect forgot to spec. Underneath the back-bar, way up in the corner, a 5" hole was needed. The hole didn't need to be pretty as it would be completely unseen. Through two layers of 3/4" plywood, a 1" space between them, and a layer of 5/8" sheet rock. On the other side of the sheet rock was a 2 x 6 turned flat against the sheet rock. I got my huge Milwaukee with a 5" hole saw out and was on my way when I remembered the Multimaster in the truck. I gladly took the Milwaukee back (not much fun drilling 5" holes with that thing - easy to break a wrist). The electrician who was near laughed when I got the MM out and put a 1" blade on. The blade is only about 2" long but I cut the plywood first, then the sheet rock, and then the 2 x 6. It took almost 10 minutes, much of which was me trying to fit into the space and set up the light to see what I was cutting. It is also great when doing flooring (plunge cutting, cutting the bottom of jambs and trim out of the way, etc.) I am now sold on it and have used it many times cutting things that would have been a real challenge without it. BTW, the electrician now has one too.
And yes, they are too expensive but worth every penny. My only gripe is that the blades are way expensive too. I hope that someone will make blades that will fit it soon. It is noisy and I usually wear ear protection when using it, always when in a tight space. Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

I bought this tool based on recommendations from sailboat owners who have done detail projects and large scale paint removal using this tool and were thrilled with the results. My project was the removal of 900 square feet of old linoleum tile that was water damaged in my father's basement. This tool made the project a breeze! My brother had tried removing the tile with a hoe and a roofing tool all to no avail. The Fein easily cut the asphalt glue under the tiles and peeled them up -- entire project done in 8 hours! Then, I had to repair a 1 1/2" PVC pipe in a basement rafter. Impossible with regular tools, but the Fein cut the pipe in seconds -- and the cut was reasonably square allowing an immediate fix to the plumbing. Then I took the sanding pads supplied with the kit and re-finished several pieces of oddly shaped outdoor wood. All much faster and with much cleaner results than by hand and in places that palm sanders would never have reached.

The best part is the company expanded the warranty to three years because I registered it on-line!

Tools are extremely easy to change. Flip the lever on the back up, remove the "screw", place the new tool on the shaft, replace the "screw", and flip the lever back down. Ready to do the next job! Speed adjustment goes from virtually moving to really fast (used to cut the tiles) and is easy to do on the fly while working. I am now using it on a job at my home and cutting sheet rock with half the mess -- the vacuum attachment works! -- and twice as fast as with my hand saw. (I still use the hand saw if I suspect wires or pipes behind the sheet rock.) I love this tool because it is extremely fast to set up, easy to use, and does the job well. And you can't beat the warranty.

If you are considering one of the knock-offs because of the price difference -- pick up the Fein and feel how solid the heavy metal case is and how balanced it is in your hand -- you will spend the money for the quality. My other tools reflect this in my Stanley hand saws, Delta band saw, Delta drill press, etc.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

The Fein MultiMaster is a fine product and performs up to expectations BUT the attachments that come with it are the pits. I recently pulled up all the flooring in my house to put down ceramic and hardwood. So immediately I went to the 'door jam' trimmer blade. What a incredible timesaver it was. Within 5 minutes I had the jams on 5 doors trimmed to fit the new height of my flooring. Sounds like a winner huh? Now the downside. After the first door I lost 3 or 4 teeth. After the second door I lost 3 or 4 more teeth. You can see where this is going. By then end of door 5 the blade was no longer usable. I only had 6 or 7 teeth left. On top of it all this blade didn't even come with the $399 product. I had to spend another (I think $39) for it.

So now that my jams were trimmed I went on to tackle the stone fireplace because I had to slide the hardwood underneath the stone. So I pull out the 'carbide' cutter to cut away the mortar below the stones. That blade lasted about 1-foot of the 5-foot mantle. After that it wouldn't cut at all. So back to my well trusted and proven (and cheap) cold chisel which finished the job (but it certainly took longer).

On to another attachment, the triangular corner sander. I used it to sand the inside corners on a step stool I made. I was trying to remove the 'old' stain. I went through 5 sanding pads on 4 corners. The attachment got so hot that when I removed the pads the Velcro part of the attachment pulled off at one of the corners and now the very expensive attachment has a corner that won't stay. I've tried to glue it back down but it won't hold.

I have tried to rationalize away the cost of the accessories. I've told myself - "hey it only took 5 minutes to trim those jams, you would have taken 1/2 hour to do it with a flush cut hand saw. That is a savings of 25 minutes." But at $39 a pop for the blades even my poor mental math doesn't add up.

Moral of the story? If you need to get something done fast and somewhat accurately then this tool is for you. Just be prepared to spend a boat load of money on the blades, sand paper, etc. They are incredibly expensive and won't last long at all.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

The product performed as advertised. I have only completed two projects using the product so that a full review of its other funcions is not possible. The local dealer support is commendable, so is their Pittsburgh, PA customer service center. They were able to resolve a minor problem I had with the product. If price is not a factor, its worth it.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

Buying Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top

These guys have a decent tool, but go to buy a replacement blade after you've chewed up the piece of junk you got with the unit and you're going to be shocked. You're going to pay $28.00 or so for a piece of pressed tin that won't last you a week. They should caution "dont spindle fold or mutilate" on their packaging. Their blades are junk that you'll either pay their outrageous price for, or you'll have to abandon the tool. My advice would be to buy a tool that has blades available from different suppliers. These Fein folks don't understand the concept of customer loyalty. I guess they think that once you've bought their product, they've got a sucker on the hook who will pay whatever price they choose to ask for replacement parts. Do yourself a favor and look at the prices that Fein charges for each of their accessories BEFORE buying the Multimaster.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.
