Paid for itself with time saved
My cousin let me borrow his and I was hooked. I bought one specifically to help with installing some replacement windows. The e-cut blade was superior to a reciprocating saw or hacksaw for cutting through nails to remove trim. You don't have to worry about it plunging farther than you want. Scraper blade removes caulk with almost no effort.

You'll find countless uses for it, especially if you have an old house like me.

Great product
The MultiMaster is all that it is advertised to be and even though there were a couple of mix ups with my order the company I ordered from was outstanding with their customer service.

This if a great tool, it works just like it was shown on tv. Perfect for what would otherwise be tricky cuts. I have found many uses for it.

Expensive, but an excellent tool
I was faced with removing about 12,000 linear feet of improperly installed grout on a limestone tile floor. The grout lines were thin and the task seemed daunting. After researching various techniques, I found the Fein Multimaster and purchased one along with six diamond blades as recommended by the Fein customer support folks, who incidentally are as good as they could be. This is a heavy duty tool and the oscillation approach is very, very effective. It took a bit of time to develop a technique, but once we understood the tool, the job was completed effectively and efficiently. My only complaint is that the dust collection system did not work well and we improvised with a shop vac.

We also used a wood cutting blade and a carbide surfacing blade and were quite pleased with the ease of cutting and the results generally. This is a specialty tool, however, and the infomercials and the dvd that accompany the tool make the described tasks look a lot easier than they are in real life.

However, we saved thousands of dollars in labor over alternative methods, did not damage any of the tile, and the result was better than expectated.

I do not see this as a handyperson tool that will gather dust on a shelf somewhere. It is a specialty tool that can accomplish many tasks very efficiently. It does many tasks that were formerly the province of a sawzall, but if you are cutting nail embedded material or doing demolition, it is the wrong tool. It is a finish tool when working in wood and will greatly facilitate repairs in tile surfaces, especially where you are facing grout problems or have to replace broken tiles. It is essential that the operator wear a first class dust mask and eye protection, although that goes without saying.

Finally, the various blades are expensive, in fact too expensive. They are available on Amazon at discounts, but still, a damaged blade is a $50 problem, and that limits our experimentation with the tool.

Overall, the tool is what it is promoted to be. It is very well made. The case is well designed and can hold all of the blades and attachments that one might like. I recommend it more to professionals than homeowners as it does require good mechanical skills to operate effectively.

High Quality very versatile tool
The amount of projects that can be handled effortlessly is unlimited. As soon as you have this tool in your hand one word comes to mind right away. QUALITY. Excellent design features includes the ease of use when I change tool ends and I especially like the extra long power cord. The case isn't too bad either. For a tool this pricey you definetly get what you pay for. You can buy with confidence. The included DVD is also a great help, as it details alot of uses for the tool.
