Fein Power Tools a must have for the handyman
I think the reviews of this Fein Multimaster Tool are just about on target. This is a good tool and it does what it publicizes. But does a tool that essentially vibrates fast actually need to cost 400 dollars? Here are my thoughts :
The patent on the Fein Power Tools has expired and there are several multimaster'clones' out there. A short list : Rockwell, Dremel, harbor Freight Tools, Bosch. Of these, the Bosch is probably the best, and it even takes the Fein blades. However as of this writing you can only buy the uncorded version in the U. S. . This isn't the kind of tool that should be powered by a battery.
All of the Fein Accessories work very well. The sanding function is terrific and if you haven't used an oscillator of this sort before ( for instance if you're used to using a Black & Decker'Mouse' or something similar ) you will be agreeably shocked at this upgrade. The other attachments also work well, but I'd not use the E-Blade or any E-Blade to chop metal, unless it is extremely thin. Don't try and cut hard metals.
I'm in agreement that the plastic case inserts aren't professional grade. The case itself is satisfactory, but I like the Bosch cases.
The blades. Purchasing replacement blades for this specific tool could be a drag. The Fein blades are naturally excellent, but at an original price of $15 and up you are talking about another outlay of hard earned cash. Yes, there are other options, including the harbor Freight Tools option or making your own blades, but remember these options void your guaranty and aren't as good as the Fein blades. BTW, yes you may use round blades with this particular tool ; you don't'need' the star-shaped quick attachment feature that's under the screw, while it obviously helps.
The decision : if you're an informal user and only plan to do the work this specific tool needs some ( less than four ) times ever year, I wouldn't spend the cash. Get a clone tool instead. Of the clones discussed earlier, I would avoid the Rockwell--the blades don't work with any of the others. Bear in mind that this tool shines best when used for the things shown in the informercial ; while you can probably ditch your reciprocating saw after you purchase the multimaster, I might still keep around my jigsaw and some other tools.
Additionally, if you are the type of person who has to have the best of the best then I'd say that this tool is for you. Sure you can de-grout a lavatory with a dremel or similar tool for approximately 1/4 the price, but this is surely not the point for somebody like that.
If you are a pro user, in my perspective this is an easy choice. Spend the cash on as many multimasters as you are able to afford. They will pay for themselves several times over within just a few months.

Generic tool like Fein multimaster but blades turn/slip?
I purchased this multifunction power tool like Fein multimaster from Ebay. The tool starts and runs good (variable speed) but the blades slip and turn after I tighten it down to the arbor. I'm pretty sure there should be some "pins" or something to hold the blades stationary and at different positions? Anyone have a tool like this with same problems or possibly the way it's made? I'm trying to work this out with the seller because I don't like the bits always loosening after I tighten it over and over!
I really would like to return it and get a good one that works if the seller cooperates.
You shouldn't have this problem. Could be a faulty locking washer(?) that doesn't hold the blade securely.God Bless
