handy for those odd jobs
This tool reminds me a little of the Rotozip. It works extremely well for the job it was designed for, Multimaster=Flush-cutting, Rotozip=cutting drywall, but isn't as good for the other purposes they are advertised for.
I have used this for a few weeks now and have used the flush-cutting and sanding attachments quite a bit already. It has come in extremely handy for those jobs that it is about the only tool that would work, and average at the other jobs like sanding and scraping.
I would give the tool 5 stars but the blades are way overpriced and don't last real long. You can buy generic blades that are much cheaper and in some cases better quality.
Edit:02/15/12 I just wanted to add to this review a little. Since I bought this and since all the other brands have come out with their own, I have had a chance to use quite a few of them. For me, if I were buying again today, I would buy the fein one again. The others all seem to work just fine, none of them are near as nice as this one. Some get pretty hot, some shake more, some don't have as much power, etc. This one is just better than the rest.
If I were a homeowner and not a person who relies on my tools to make a living, I would probably go with one of the cheaper ones though. But I have found many uses for this thing over the years I don't know what I would have done without it. Really a must have for me.
