Default MultiMaster Clone in Harbor Freight, Any Good?

Jay,

You can buy off brand blades on eBay for 1/2 the price of Fein. I have also
bought a few Fein accessories on eBay for a reasonable price. The Dremel
unit is almost a third smaller than the Fein MM. Fein makes a very serious
tool.

I will go to Lowes to take a look of the Dremel version.

The price that you quote for a basic Fein MultiMaster kit sounds
reasonable. But their accessories are going to be very expensive.
Can I buy off brand accessories to use with the Fein MultiMaster.

I am still waiting for the corded version from Bosch that has built-in
dust collection feature. But if they don't sell it in US by next
spring, I will have to look elsewhere.

the extra $65.00 before I would buy the Dremel. I'm looking forward to a
review on the HF unit.

We use a real MM in our home repair business and its fantastic.

I have found a MultiMaster clone in Harbor Freight catalog. It is
also shown in this URL:


http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/cta...emnumber=65700


I am looking for something like this to work in my boat and around my
house. But I am not sure if this model is any good. Does any one try
it before?


I am also waiting for the MultiMaster clone from Bosch because the
corded model from Bosch has dust collection feature built-in. The
model from Harbor Freight doesn't have any dust collection feature.
But the corded model from Bosch is not available in US (only in
Europe). Moreover, I figure I can live with not having the dust
collection built-in the tool if the price is so low.


Thanks for any info in advance.
