First off, I'm not a professional handyman but am pretty good with tools and making/fixing things around the house.
I got the tool while I was installing a wood floor in a bedroom... it was extremely useful to under-cut the door trim and I had a wood planked wall that needed undercutting as well... the door trim could have been cut by hand with a flush cut hand saw but the wall under-cut would have been a nightmare without a tool like the multimaster... made quick work of it... even cut right through some hidden nails with very little effort (using the "E-blade").
tool feels "heavy duty" and built to last, the front black part is all metal... orange part is a good quality feeling plastic... power cord is extra long and is a good quality rubber. blade changing is easy as pie with the flip-up lever system.
the case it comes in is OK... it's plastic and like others have said, it doesn't open 180 degrees... only 90 degrees, so maybe it could come down on your hands while rummaging around in the storage boxes for the blades... not a huge deal but would have been nicer if it opened a full 180 degrees...
also note that the blades can get hot so trying to change them immediately after use risks some fingertip burns - but I guess that would be true of pretty much all saws and their blades...
overall, I feel it's a good, solid tool even though a bit pricey... like others have said here, I'd be likely to use it a lot more if the replacement blades weren't so expensive - but they also seem to be of very good quality metal and I suspect each will last a good amount of time before needing replacement...
We'll see as I still have a lot of projects to complete in my 100+ year old house! ;o)
