The web site, with that heavy QVC-style marketing message, is a real
turn-off, but the tool is for real.
I have one and I've found a variety of uses for it, to do things that I
can't imagine being able to do with any other sort of tool that I've found
on the woodworking tool web sites. As a detail sander, to get into places
that a sanding block or an orbital sander can't get into, it's invaluable.
There are other single-purpose tools that are less expensive, but the
Multimaster does it all, or at least a hell of a lot. Go somewhere else
besides that site and look at it:
Go to Woodcraft and read it about it the
http://www.woodcraft.com/family.aspx?FamilyID=5889
or to the Fein site itself and read about it the
http://www.feinus.com/multimaster/index.html
Fein tools are good stuff. The thing is that you wouldn't be using a tool
like this every day, but for the troublesome things that nothing else seems
to handle, this is the one that you reach for. And there are tons of special
accessories that aren't in the basic kit to handle lots of other sorts of
problems.
'Taint cheap, but you get what you pay for.

Has any of you guys tried this tool? I tried to view it at
www.multimastertv.com but my webtv would not let me in. I did see it on
tv but I did not see a price.. I thought some of you guys might know
somthing about it.
Thanks a head of time, for your input.
