The Fein MultiMaster does not belong in the home workshop or in the DIYer tool bag. This is a serious tool for contractors. I waited 2 years to buy this tool, always finding better uses for the $400. Another reviewer said that only contractors who can pass on the cost of this tool need this tool, he is right, to a degree. I was called to a home that had failed the CO inspection, 28 electrical boxes were partially covered by wood wainscoting. Short of removing the wainscoting, I shelled out the cash for a Fein. Snapping on the multi-blade and firing up the tool, I immediately smiled. It soon became an extension of my hand, I felt like an artist gliding through the house, neatly trimming all the boxes with no worry about hitting the wires or plastic boxes. The control, the dexterity, the power, the finesse! I never felt this with my trusty old roto-zip, it always seemed like it one slip away from disaster. Not so with the Fein.
That was 6 months ago. Since then, I have spent about another $400 on blades with no regrets. The Fein seems to come out of its cheap, clunky, ill-fitting case at least 2 or 3 times a week. Sure, there are times when another tool could do the job but none will put a smile on your face like the MultiMaster. The quality is amazing, German engineering, and all that. What this tool can do is only limited by your imagination. The more you use it, the more comfortable and confident you become with it. I have used this tool to remove grout from marble floor and ceramic tile walls, plunge cut into a 6x6, trim doors, set strike plates, cut nails & bolts, remove glazing from 100-year-old windows, cut out deteriorating masonry, and so much more.
The replacement blades are expensive but they last. The knock-offs don't hold up as well as the originals and the balance is not as good, but if you have a FNG using the tool, they are a good buy. In the hands of an experienced used, the originals are the only blades that give you the precise control that you become accustomed to.
Yes, I pass along the cost of this tool and the blades to my clients, but I also pass along the labor savings that this tool brings. When I compare the two, my clients come out way ahead. A wise investment for any contractor!
