Now, comparing to the reviews I’ve read or the commercials I’ve seen for the Fein MultiMaster, it doesn’t even come close. If you’re anything more than a weekend do-it-yourself-er, this may not be for you. But if you’re like me, this tool is sufficient and for the price, not bad at all (I actually picked this up for around , refurbished, from a common store’s liquidation site).

What I used it for that worked out really well: - metal gutters – it did the job eventually, but it took a while. Again, not enough power.

People also recommend another battery, which I kind of agree with – however I have not yet, as I’ve managed to charge in between uses to keep the battery charged all day. I’ve also placed the whole tool + battery in the refrig to cool it down while not used it (just for 15 mins or so). It does get hot and once it did not charge because the unit was too hot.

Overall, I really like the tool and it’s one of my favorites – but you really do need to adjust your expectations. If you’re a contractor or a person who will use this every day – this won’t do.

I just got one of these units. Seems to be better built than the Dremmel unit. The cutting bits seem to be more solid. However, is not variable speed and unlike the Bosch, tops off at 15000 opm. However, it is almost 0 cheaper. Also comes with a fair mix of bits (I think more than the Dremmel including a vac port and definitely more than the Bosch). At this point don’t know about battery life, but the unit comes with only one battery – suggest you buy a second. I don’t know about the other units, but this got pretty hot as I was doing test cuts through hard wood – perhaps they all do? Hell, for , what more do we want .
