With the Fein MultiMaster the possibilities and the tool's capabilities are seemingly endless. Here's a list of what Fein says you can do with the MultiMaster: sanding, scraping, sawing, rasping, cutting, slicing, and grout removal. And that's just for starters. It's a compact little 2-1/2-pound tool that sits comfortably in your hand, and, because it oscillates instead of orbiting or rotating, it offers literally no hand fatigue from vibration. It includes a fabulous bunch of accessories that let you take up old flooring; trim new flooring under a door; remove old grout; sand anything anywhere; saw into all kinds of material with a .5 mm kerf; remove old paint, adhesives, caulking, oil stains, and graffiti; and plunge cut into drywall for repairs. It comes in a sturdy case with 30 sheets of sandpaper and all the accessories, including a book full of projects. There's even an optional dust-collection accessory (sold separately). The barrel grip feels great in your hand and makes you want to do all those household chores you've been putting off.

From the Manufacturer
The Fein Multi-Master combines a detail sander, saw blade, and scraper into one tool, giving you a complete package to handle multiple tasks. Use the triangle sander pad and go right up to, into, and along edges and corners without dulling the edge or altering the profile. Remove the sander pad, replace it with a special segmented saw blade, and saw wood, putty, and soft materials. Use the scraper to remove thick layers of old paint, grout, and flooring remnants. The Multi-Master can do so many things, you'll have a tough time deciding where to start. Your kit includes the Multi-Master, PSA sanding pad, segmented saw blade, scraper blade, carrying case, clamping screws, and 30 PSA sanding sheets.

From Hanley-Wood's Tools of the Trade: Really Fein Tool
Every once in a while you find a tool that becomes a favorite and you wonder why you didn't buy it years ago. For me, it's Fein's MultiMaster triangular detail sander. Talking with other boat builders, I'd hear about this great little tool. Then I'd look at the price tag and ask how a little sander could be worth close to $200. Now I know the answer: Easy.

I finally broke down and bought the tool not because I needed a sander but because I needed an oscillating saw and a power scraper. I had two leaky deck hatches that were insufficiently bedded in polyurethane adhesive. They needed to come out cleanly, and to get re-bedded and re-installed in one afternoon. The tool did the job quickly without scarring the adjoining finished surfaces. I was hooked.

The combination tool is definitely a good sander, but its major strength is a high-quality oscillating motor that has a wide range of attachments, which do small sanding, cutting, and scraping jobs in tight places wonderfully well. Do you need a saw that cuts wood, plastic, and metal, and doesn't stroke back and forth or throw sparks? How about a saw that can plunge-cut a 2x4 without touching any of the finished surfaces around it? Would a powered grout saw be helpful for tile work? In my shop we've found the different scrapers to be the best tools for removing dried sealants. We also use the different sized sanding pads for all kinds of detail work. The only times the tool doesn't do the job is when we've asked it to do too much. For example, it isn't the right tool for cutting 1/4-inch steel or for surface-sanding a tabletop.

If you have a small job in a tight place, odds are that the MultiMaster can help. The tool body is not cheap, though, and neither are the attachments. There are hook and loop pads as well as a vacuum pickup, buffing pads, carbide rasps, flush-cutting saws, hook-shaped scrapers, depth stops for the saws, and a diamond masonry saw.

This is a well-manufactured and well-thought-out tool. We've run it all day without it getting hot. It's well-balanced and comfortable to hold. You can vary the motor speed depending on the task and it has a super-long cord. In case you can't tell, I really like this tool. Not a day goes by where it doesn't get picked up and used. If you owe a cheap friend a favor, do something nice and buy him one of these.Copyright Hanley-Wood, LLC
