 I'm Sold ! August 18, 2008
I'm an advid DIY'er and tool nut so this tool has always intrigued me. After watching the info-mercials for about 6 weeks I decided to investigate further. I talked with the service tech at a highly reputable tool store to see if I could find some fault in the ad. What got me was as he was telling me how awesome the tool was and how everything on the TV commercial is true, the guy next to me said he owned 3 and bought a 4th for his brother-in-law! At $400 a piece I was impressed. Next step was to read all the reviews here at Amazon which were also impressive. So I purchased one and after owning it for just over 3 weeks I find myself grabing for it more and more.
It cuts carpet like butter, scrapes adhesives with ease, cuts wood with surgical presision, and sands like a dream. I haven't even scratched the surface of it's possibilities. One word of caution which I learned the hard way, is not to use it for hardend concrete nails as I ruined a blade. If I have another tool that will work better I use it.
I still think it and the accessories are over priced but I don't regret buying it and it is rapidly becoming one of my favorite tools. Like the guy at the hardware store told me, once you get over the initial purchase, you won't look back and regret it.
 pretty junk August 13, 2008

the video looks good, but i used it to cut plywood subflooring -- after cutting 1 foot the blade came apart at the spot-welds. A replacement blade costs $57. $57/foot is very expensive. Simply stated, this is a toy, not intended for anything like serious work.
It Will Make You Smile, if you are a contractor. August 9, 2008

The Fein MultiMaster does not belong in the home workshop or in the DIYer tool bag. This is a serious tool for contractors. I waited 2 years to buy this tool, always finding better uses for the $400. Another reviewer said that only contractors who can pass on the cost of this tool need this tool, he is right, to a degree. I was called to a home that had failed the CO inspection, 28 electrical boxes were partially covered by wood wainscoting. Short of removing the wainscoting, I shelled out the cash for a Fein. Snapping on the multi-blade and firing up the tool, I immediately smiled. It soon became an extension of my hand, I felt like an artist gliding through the house, neatly trimming all the boxes with no worry about hitting the wires or plastic boxes. The control, the dexterity, the power, the finesse! I never felt this with my trusty old roto-zip, it always seemed like it one slip away from disaster. Not so with the Fein.
That was 6 months ago. Since then, I have spent about another $400 on blades with no regrets. The Fein seems to come out of its cheap, clunky, ill-fitting case at least 2 or 3 times a week. Sure, there are times when another tool could do the job but none will put a smile on your face like the MultiMaster. The quality is amazing, German engineering, and all that. What this tool can do is only limited by your imagination. The more you use it, the more comfortable and confident you become with it. I have used this tool to remove grout from marble floor and ceramic tile walls, plunge cut into a 6x6, trim doors, set strike plates, cut nails & bolts, remove glazing from 100-year-old windows, cut out deteriorating masonry, and so much more.
The replacement blades are expensive but they last. The knock-offs don't hold up as well as the originals and the balance is not as good, but if you have a FNG using the tool, they are a good buy. In the hands of an experienced used, the originals are the only blades that give you the precise control that you become accustomed to.
Yes, I pass along the cost of this tool and the blades to my clients, but I also pass along the labor savings that this tool brings. When I compare the two, my clients come out way ahead. A wise investment for any contractor!
Well made Multiple use Tool . . . a Real Time Saver August 6, 2008
Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top
I purchsed this tool in June 2008, it has paid for itself in the time I have had it. I installed some Real Wood Laminate Flooring and it certainly was a time saver when I used it to trim the bottom of the trim around door openings in the room, and also when it came to removing old nailed on 1/4 round trim attached to Base Board in the room, I say this because this tool; with right blade installed; will cut right through old nails. I have also used it to make small vertical opeings in Cabinet Door edges to install new Hidden Hardware. I am extremely pleased with this tool. It is a must for the Professional Tradesman/wood worker or even the DIY. This tool is extremely well made, and well worth the Money. I rate it 5 stars.

I am a remodeling contractor who like most debated buying this tool for quite some time. Now that I have purchased it and used it for about three months I have a few observations.. Like everyone I agree the case is junk for the reasons listed in other reviews, the blades are exspensive agreed use them carefully, The cord length like 10+ ' is great , variable speed function is great. All in all a well thought out and heavy duty tool. You will not believe once you get this and realize what it will do what a time saver this thing is just incredible. If you are a contractor get it you wont regret it. I will end on this scenario. Lets say you are working on a house with Hardisiding, the homeowner needs a light installed on the exterior you need a trim block cut into the siding install the carbide round wheel and cut right through the hardi siding no pulling and reinstalling of siding. Very happpy with the purchase.
