Great review! The only issue I have is the last statement. The
Fein can be had for $150-199 at many places. The great news is that
with another multi-tool equal in performance to the Fein, that
means competition and competition mean lower prices and/or
incentives for us, the buyers.


Snip

Also, (this is cheesy to me) they count the accessories when selling
the tool in order to make it look like you are getting more for your
money. I am fine with that, except that they count (1), yes ONE
sheet of sandpaper as an accessory when marketing. Worse, when
selling the bottom rung of their oscillating line, the sandpaper
accessory isn't even perforated for dust removal, it is just hook and
loop paper.


A little OT but maybe you remember. When I was much younger and looked
thought the Sears catalog and specifically the mechanics tools sets. The
number of pieces were listed. They always included the 20~30 hacksaw
blades and the individual Allen wrenches in the total pieces. ;~)
