I finally broke down and bought one. It sat around truck in my after playing with it for a while. Then one day, working at a new restaurant, I had to make a hole for the beverage line that the architect forgot to spec. Underneath the back-bar, way up in the corner, a 5" hole was needed. The hole didn't need to be pretty as it would be completely unseen. Through two layers of 3/4" plywood, a 1" space between them, and a layer of 5/8" sheet rock. On the other side of the sheet rock was a 2 x 6 turned flat against the sheet rock. I got my huge Milwaukee with a 5" hole saw out and was on my way when I remembered the Multimaster in the truck. I gladly took the Milwaukee back (not much fun drilling 5" holes with that thing - easy to break a wrist). The electrician who was near laughed when I got the MM out and put a 1" blade on. The blade is only about 2" long but I cut the plywood first, then the sheet rock, and then the 2 x 6. It took almost 10 minutes, much of which was me trying to fit into the space and set up the light to see what I was cutting. It is also great when doing flooring (plunge cutting, cutting the bottom of jambs and trim out of the way, etc.) I am now sold on it and have used it many times cutting things that would have been a real challenge without it. BTW, the electrician now has one too.
And yes, they are too expensive but worth every penny. My only gripe is that the blades are way expensive too. I hope that someone will make blades that will fit it soon. It is noisy and I usually wear ear protection when using it, always when in a tight space. Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

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.

The Fein MultiMaster is a fine product and performs up to expectations BUT the attachments that come with it are the pits. I recently pulled up all the flooring in my house to put down ceramic and hardwood. So immediately I went to the 'door jam' trimmer blade. What a incredible timesaver it was. Within 5 minutes I had the jams on 5 doors trimmed to fit the new height of my flooring. Sounds like a winner huh? Now the downside. After the first door I lost 3 or 4 teeth. After the second door I lost 3 or 4 more teeth. You can see where this is going. By then end of door 5 the blade was no longer usable. I only had 6 or 7 teeth left. On top of it all this blade didn't even come with the $399 product. I had to spend another (I think $39) for it.

So now that my jams were trimmed I went on to tackle the stone fireplace because I had to slide the hardwood underneath the stone. So I pull out the 'carbide' cutter to cut away the mortar below the stones. That blade lasted about 1-foot of the 5-foot mantle. After that it wouldn't cut at all. So back to my well trusted and proven (and cheap) cold chisel which finished the job (but it certainly took longer).

On to another attachment, the triangular corner sander. I used it to sand the inside corners on a step stool I made. I was trying to remove the 'old' stain. I went through 5 sanding pads on 4 corners. The attachment got so hot that when I removed the pads the Velcro part of the attachment pulled off at one of the corners and now the very expensive attachment has a corner that won't stay. I've tried to glue it back down but it won't hold.

I have tried to rationalize away the cost of the accessories. I've told myself - "hey it only took 5 minutes to trim those jams, you would have taken 1/2 hour to do it with a flush cut hand saw. That is a savings of 25 minutes." But at $39 a pop for the blades even my poor mental math doesn't add up.

Moral of the story? If you need to get something done fast and somewhat accurately then this tool is for you. Just be prepared to spend a boat load of money on the blades, sand paper, etc. They are incredibly expensive and won't last long at all.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

These guys have a decent tool, but go to buy a replacement blade after you've chewed up the piece of junk you got with the unit and you're going to be shocked. You're going to pay $28.00 or so for a piece of pressed tin that won't last you a week. They should caution "dont spindle fold or mutilate" on their packaging. Their blades are junk that you'll either pay their outrageous price for, or you'll have to abandon the tool. My advice would be to buy a tool that has blades available from different suppliers. These Fein folks don't understand the concept of customer loyalty. I guess they think that once you've bought their product, they've got a sucker on the hook who will pay whatever price they choose to ask for replacement parts. Do yourself a favor and look at the prices that Fein charges for each of their accessories BEFORE buying the Multimaster.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

The Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q TopFein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top lives up to the advertized claims. I have used the tool for both sawing and for fine sanding projects. Cutting some ventilation holes in the attic was quick and easy without having to create a starter hole using a separate tool. Fine sanding window frames for restaining was a breeze! Doing this by hand (and I have) is not only tedious, but very time consuming and frustrating when you can not get into the seams and corners. The MultiMaster was had no problems; and the velcro like attachment of the sandpaper makes tool set-up so simple. The only drawbaks are: price, weight and noise. You should definately wear hearing protection when using the tool. The weight is can easily tire you on a long job where the tool is used overhead; however, it is proper for allowing the tool to do the work when sanding. The price of course is very high. It is definately worth the price if you have many projects where the tool works best (cutting into pannels or baseboard & detail sanding for example). However, the one-time user may be reluctant to spend so much. Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

If you want to spend the $400 for this tool, go ahead and buy it. It will do everything as advertised. But, if you want to spend $350 less and have something that will do all the same type of cutting, get the MultiTool by Chicago Tools. I got mine at Harbor Freight Tools and it is great! Chicago has nearly all the same blades for sawing, scraping, grout cutting, diamond blades, etc. The only real difference is how you change blades. The Chicago uses an allen wrench. Big deal! Save your money! Get the Chicago Multi Tool.

I agree with Mantra, this is a great tool for small things that would otherwise be time consuming, difficult, or not possible at all. It's not meant to be the tool you use for everything. It is pretty expensive for the average do-it-yourselfer, but if you're remodeling your home or work in construction/remodeling it does save time and time is money. I bought this for a friend who does remodeling and it does a great job for some things. The blades are VERY expensive and don't last as long as they should for the big price. That's disappointing given the high cost of the tool itself. Eventually it'll pay for itself, but I'm wondering if there wasn't a better tool choice out there...
If money is no object it's a neat little tool, but for the average homeowner, it's not worth the money.Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Right now

I purchased the multimaster top after I had watched the DVD a few times. After contracting a window replacement job, I thought this tool would be a good choice for cutting out the old aluminum frames. I purchased the top, since I knew I'd be in enough trouble, you might as well buy the top of the line if you're gonna "pay" for it "later."

Anyhow, the new windows arrived and I began to use this tool to cut around the aluminum frame so that the other windows would slide snugly into the opening.

Was I in for a surprise. I worried it wouldn't work well, but this tool literally cut these windows out like a can opener. Fast. I wish I had taken a video so you could see. This tool saved me much time on this particular job, and made the job VERY easy to accomplish. All windows were removed with ease. The job took only one days labor, with only one person (myself) doing it.

I have used this tool on many applications since. I never thought this tool would be so handy. I set 14 doors and jamb openings, and had many shims to cut. Forget the utility knife method. I got the multimaster out and cut though the multi-layers of cedar shims in seconds. And the cuts were flush and true so there were no parts of the shims sticking out to make casing the jambs a problem at all.

I have also used this to cut inside corner moldings on remodels at the height of the new baseboard. I just marked the inside corner molding and cut through with the multi. Piece of cake. The other methods would have been to remove the trim, cut it off and renail, or take a chisel and/or utility knife to it, which is time consuming.

I have used this tool in many other applications and too much detail to explain on here. But if you buy this tool, you will find yourself using it more often than you had thought you would.

Cons:

This tool does get quite warm. Wear gloves.

It is probably louder than what you would guess.

The blades are expensive. (But as a contractor I include the blade cost in my job bid) which isn't a ton of money, but it is a product that will be used to accomplish a job, so my customers pay for that in a way.

The price is not a con. It is well worth it. I actually got the TOP for 360.00 at a tool shop where I live. This was their last one, and not the first time I enquired with them about it. EVERYONE in that shop has one and they all rave about it. Several customers came in while I was purchasing it asking what I did for a living and telling me how I would love this tool. They were correct.

If you remodel/build buy this tool. You will be glad you did.

I saw this tool advertised for years and never gave a second thought to purchase one. It appeared to me to be a tool used for one or two different jobs and not good at doing any very well.
In the past I used a router to trim some window extensions (not good results), and a utility knife to cut carpet. I would remove a door to trim the bottom and I would use a sawsall to cut flooring up to the wall and a roto-duster to cut outlet holes and remove grout by hand. But now I use the Fein MultiMaster for all of this and more. It does everything the promotions claim. That's a first for me! I don't understand some of the disappointments aimed at this tool. I came to believe that $15 for an E-cut blade is a reasonable price.
If a person has never had to remove grout by hand the price of the cutter may seem high but at least for me, it's a very reasonable price and could be considered low. I don't find the blades dull quickly at all. I've not used the sanding pad so I can't comment.
After I purchased the Fein MultiMaster Top Kit I happened upon an infomercial on tv. It's a good thing I bought it before seeing that because that infomercial comes across to me a bit cheesy. Somewhat related to the Ronco slicer-dicer. But it really isn't, it's a solid tool that should last a life time.
If you do any remodeling or some of the projects that I've mentioned you won't be sorry for this purchase and will wonder how you've gotten along without it.

This is a great tool - as long as it is used as intended and not over extend the capabilitis of the tool.
I own a construction company. My crews have access an inventory of hundreds of tools - initial cost of the tools generally is not a consideration due to high labor cost. Also cheaper tool have a way of breaking down before the entire job is completed. However, I do insist my crews to come up with the most cost effective way to perform the task at hand. Example - We could clean the floor very well with only a tooth brush but we can do a much more cost effective job (faster) when we use both a floor mop for the large areas and a tooth brush for the tight areas.
Most complaints of this tool appears to involve usage of this tool in exclusion of all others. over usage of a new toy. This tool is a fantastic pinch hitter excel for those LITTLE impossible cuts but not a volume work producer. Great as a suppliment tool on large jobs.
As to sanding window moldings prior to painting, small areas are ok, larger areas will just kill the sand paper and pads (cleaning floor with the tooth brush again). Should consider a random orbital sander and/or small belt sander. Won't believe how effective a belt sander can work when a little fore thought is put into a project.

We own a custom roofing company that specializes in lifetime metal roofing. We have to trim back siding materials so our flashings can slide up under them. Sounds easy, but is incredibly hard to actually do if you want it to look good.
We have tried over a dozen different tool scenarios with mixed results, but nothing worked perfectly.
This tool does. When removing heavy wood siding the metal cutting blade can slip in under the siding and easily cuts nails off cleanly. It is very easy to hand hold and cut straight lines or use a piece of wood as a cutting guide.
The quick change tool system blades NEVER get loose, never. The Fein blades are well made and last. The tool is built well and has lasted well in a very harsh environment. Roofing tools in general do not last long at all, this tool has.
The case is well made with plenty of room for accessories. Get more detail about Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top.

I have the predecessor to the "multimaster" before it was called "MultiMaster". It's superb, saves lotsa hours, does precise triming and cutting. Great tool, when removing jamb mouldings it cuts right through nails never mars teh wood, cutout wood for larger electrical boxes etc, much more control than a Roto-Zip, and Rotoa-Zip can't reach like the metal/wood blade does and makes less mess when cuting drywall. How do you get work done without one, it's as handy as a Milwaukee Sawzall, but for smaller, more precise cuts. A+, the GERMANS do it again.

Why pay $400.00 for this Multi-tool when you can get a Dremel MultiMax for less than $100.00? The Dremel accessories are alot cheaper to buy than the Fein accessories. The Dremel MultiMax is alot lighter & is not as tiring to use! The Dremel MultiMax cuts well enough for me & I have even cut some nails & screws into with the metal blade. I tried the Fein MultiMaster & after a few minutes my forearms were tired & aching. Just think what an hour of operating it would do weighing in at 3 lbs? It's your money & your choice!

Solid, well-made, and does exactly what it is supposed to do. No compromises in the machine itself, but you pay for it. The case interior is not so great for a tool of this price --- and in particular one that is likely to spend time on job sites and in the back of trucks.

I was attracted to the MultiMaster because of the infomercial, but the cost was far greater than the utility it would provide for me.
Recently I saw a Harbor Freight flyer with their "Multi-Function Power Tool" (#65700) reduced from $59.99 to $39.99. I neded to remove grout from my walk-in shower so I bought it.
