 Good product BUT........Aug 08, 2008
By rbarch
The Fein multimaster is a good, well made tool. Very powerful. I was surprised by how well it could cut into wood. The biggest problem, however, is the cost of the blades. These blades quickly wear out and have to be replaced. New blades are extremely expensive. Some people are making their own blades (do a web search) to try to avoid the cost. But there are some jobs that no other tool can do. It can plunge cut and it is great for precise woodworking.

 First Class as usual!Aug 08, 2007
By ED

This company makes first class made tools. There appear to be no short cuts on quality. This is the third generation of this tool that I am aware of - first tool 150watts - second 180w -- this and third 250w. This tool is very powerful and smooth. Still my favorite is the first 636-1. It is well powered, smaller and super smooth. This model has a wonderful blade change system ( non slip blade mount) like some of their higher priced tools. The usefulness and operation of this system have always been phenomenal! The newer tools are more powerful but the original tool has no trouble performing any job and causes a lot less body fatigue - that is why it is my favorite. I own the first and the latest generation of this tool.

Awesome productNov 14, 2007

This is a well-made product and the new star mount and quick-release blade change make it a worthwhile upgrade from the old Multimaster. I suggest purchasing the empty metal carrying case separately, which will run you about $55 online.
If you are reading this you already know that the Multimaster handles many tasks easily that are very difficult using other tools.

Needed it..Aug 21, 2008
By willPS
So I caved. The amount of work it saved paid for a good chunk of it. The amount of frustration it reduced saved me. Try cutting a small piece of melamime out from underneath a counter and behind a sink with 4" to the wall with anything else, I dare you. An extra long chisel, an olympic hammer arm in contortionist mode, and an eyeful of shavings might have sloppily done the job. I wasn't in the mood to overexert myself for sloppy (possibly unacceptable) work, so off to woodcraft. After I bought it, I quickly realized how many uses I had for it! So I saw some painted over epoxy from behind a backsplash, and scraped it away no problem. The scraper is perhaps my favorite feature. It's so frustrating to gouge at something with a putty knife or chisel or scraper and have the work come hard, slow, and mediocre. This thing adds precision and saves 70% of the time. Then I sanded some, edged some windowsills, casually cut a piece of PVC just to save me the trip for something else, and tomorrow I'm doing some metal cutting. I hate sanding, who wants to carry a sander around? So I'll avoid it as best as I can and have a back up plan just in case, and if worse comes to worse, I'll sand with my saw/scraper/metal cutting/grout remover, and complain about it a bit.
Build is top notch - solid and sturdy, even a bit heavy, more than most of even the best tools.
I'm going to avoid using the wood blades unless the job demands the Fein.
By the way, this thing is powerful! Cutting through the 1.5" glued mdf with this oscillating saw took some serious power. After I *nearly* bogged it down on maybe 1/3 or 1/2 power it jolted me a good bit, but the fein and I escaped unscathed, barely. So, I turned it up a good twist and it became quite an unpleasant tool to use. The thing oscillated itself and me at 30000+ or whatever RPM in a way that almost numbed the forearms. Although a bit shocking, the power wasn't unmanageable, and it got the job done. I have yet to top it out and can't forsee a situation that will demand it..
sometimes I end up nicknaming tools.. "Get me the fine" sounds like a sentence fragment, so the word "stout" comes to mind.

 PriceyMar 28, 2009
By Edward Glowacki
"beachbumz"
This tool eats cutters some of which cost $50-$100 to replace and didn't even last for one job. There are no generic replacements and original equipment is extremely over priced.
