The Multimaster works by moving the blade (or the sanding foot) in a random orbital motion. So unlike a rotary tool, the blade doesn't pull you through the material. That means you can control the depth and speed of the cut very precisely. The tool feels solid but not heavy and it doesn't vibrate in your hand. All the energy goes into the cutting device you've attached to it, and you don't gat tired holding on to it.
It's a very useful tool if you're doing removations. I bought it for sanding profiles like wood molding, and it is quite useful as a profile sander. But it does much, much more. Example: we wanted to move the old vinyl floor in a kitchen and install tile. The vinyl was glued to luan plywood, and both layers ran under the counters and the dishwasher. With one of the Multimaster's saw blades, it was relatively simple to make a clean, straight verical cut in line with the face of the cabinets, back under the toekick. That let me pull up the vinyl and luan from the open floor area and leave it in place under the cabinets. I don't know how I would have been able to do that with any other tool except perhaps a Bosch RotoZip.
It's expensive and the new (250 TOP) version comes in a cheesy plastic case, although to be fair, the metal case that the old (Model 625) version came in was stamped from very thin sheet metal. (If you buy something other than "Top" complete kit, the tool comes in a cardboard box.) But the case is the only light-duty item in the package.
Even if the packaging is cheap, the tool and the accessories are definitely well made and the attachments that are available make it very versatile. If you're taking apart a room in your house or someone else's house, this is a great tool to have.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.
