I understand that old style Fein units will take anybody's blades. The
newer style, with the star, won't.
I did a bit of Googelarizing and found this:

Does anybody here have anything to add?

The older Multimasters had no key/indexing pin/pins to keep the blade from
rotating. *Newer models have this feature as do the newer blades that will
work with this enhancement.

The older Multimasters not having a key will use most any blade that is
designed for key type tools. *Older blades will not fit the newer tools made
with indexing keys.

Excellent. The Dremel metal/Wood blade is half the price of a Fein
(even if bought in a 3-pack)....just bought one and I will see how it
stacks up.
I shall report back after a demolition job tomorrow.
