Default My Fein MultiMaster impression.

Yup, I agree. I bought mine to remove water damaged plywood wall and ceiling
panels from the interior of vintage travel trailers. Because it easily and
quickly flush cuts it has made this previously tedious task a pleasure. The
plywood being removed also makes a better pattern for the new panel going
back in. I have never used the sanding function.

I sold my piece of crap Dremel detail sander at last weekends garage sale
for $30.00!

Sorry, I don't do impressions... barump

Seriously, what a tool. Now that I finally have my own, with new blades
and stuff, I can't imagine a proper installation toolkit without one.

I had to remove a section of 8" high 1" thick baseboard. Tile ran down
on top of the baseboard from above and tile was laid up against it on
the floor.

No problem. A couple of pencil lines drawn with my square and freehanded
a few straight insertions of the 'e-blade'... a 0.5mm kerf and it cut
like butter. Truly effortless. I cannot imagine any other way to do this
cut as quickly and as cleanly as this tool let me do it.

Besides this little excursion, the next relatively small job I have
scheduled ( The re and re of a couple of 8' tall T'nG boards) and the
thing is paid for. Then I have a couple of tiles to replace on my
kitchen floor (don't ask) and a couple of louvred shutters to sand and
paint. This Multimaster Top hooks up to my Fein Turbo II vacuum as
well...

I know the purchase of a tool like this hurts, but the pain turns into
pleasure pretty quick. My apprehension stemmed largely from my encounter
with the Porter Cable Profile sander, which was a complete waste of
money and should have resulted into a class action suit AFAIAC.

I bought the Fein from David Eisan at Federated Tool in London, ON and
picked up another Hitachi M12V while I was there because I really like
that router and Hitachi is rumoured to be discontinuing it soon... oh..
and a Delta planer. *gloaty-smirk*.
That oughtta teach me to go to that store..it is FAR more dangerous
there than Lee Valley.

No affiliations with any aforementioned companies.. just a happy
customer. Fein RULES!
