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.
