Update on HF Multi-Master
 

The bits/blades for the Dremel Multi-Max fit the Harbor Freight clone
(Multifunction Tool).

Furthermore, the Dremel package says the bit also fits:

* Fein Multi-Master 636
* Bosch Multi-X PS50

- The wood-cutting blade from Dremel retails for $13.32
- A 3-pack of similar blades from Fein retails for $105.08 ($35.03 each)
- The Bosch machine uses Fein blades
- The Harbor Freight Multifunction tool wood-cutting blade is $5.99 with two
free scraper blades.

So, then, one permutation is a $6 HF blade instead of the $35 equivalent in
your Fein tool.

"a $6 HF blade instead of the $35 equivalent"

Equivalent in what manner - shape/size or quality of materials/
workmanship?

Doesn't matter to me if I get the same performance and durability.

IF being the operative word. The world of blades and bits is a large
one. Just because a blade fits a tool doesn't mean it will perform
the same as another. It is good to know the availability of el cheapo
blades for those situations where you know you're going to be
destroying a blade.

You raise a good point - I should have said the blades are interchangable,
not equivalent.

But that was the question which is not yet answered. So far it was only
declared that the cheap test was met. But does it meet the value test?
