Once dull the blades turn cherry red-hot fast in plaster to the point I fear the possibility of igniting a fire in dusty, dirty, cobwettey renovation work. Would be great to have a battery operated version. I would rather have a simple metal case that opens 180 degrees. For my use I never change speeds, don't know if a setting different than 6 is required. I've been using the Multi-Master for a couple of months for residential remodel and renovation work, mainly mechanical systems.
However, wish a "rock" blade was made as plaster dulls the $15 blades quickly. So, I use up a lot of expensive blades making cuts I could not do with any other tool. Really haven't used it for sanding or scraping yet, however, I expect it will perform well. The Multi-Master and my Hole-Hawg are the only non-battery op tools I regularily use. Works great for accurate openings in sheetrock and plaster and notching structural members.
As others have said the case has shortcomings. If you can afford this tool and expect regular use, by all means have it, it will save you time. The quick change blade feature is nice, but keep your fingers out of the way of the "snapper" handle, takes only once to learn it hurts.
The product was defective (bad switch) out of the box and was returned to the Amazon supplier. I have not been able to get credit from Amazon or the supplier.
Nice machine - I've borrowed others over the years from fellow trim carpenters and finally took the plunge when the Q series came out. A Trim Carpenter's status symbol. Saves time over a Japanese pull saw, but it will be a long time before it pays for itself.
Worth the extra money compared to similar products. You can use this tool for so many things. Get rid of some of your others and only carry this one as your main tool. Quiet,light,and use friendly. Impressively versatile and extremely well built.
I have used it in almost every task I preform and I have only owned it for a short while. being a home remodler I don't know how I made it without the Fein Multi-master, this tool is IT. dealing with multiple construction discip[lines I have found benefit from the multi-master daily and continue to find new uses daily. The only reason that I don't give this a 5 star is cost of attachments, but trust me they pay for themselves with your time saved. I recommend this for anyone that ever re-caulks their tub to changing out damaged tile or install crown molding.
