Tools and Hardware Reviews of Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Variable Speed Sanding and Scraping/Cutting Tool with Case
Customer Review: Don't buy this toll unless you have money to burn
Summary: 1 Stars
I hope that all potential buyers of this tool read the negative reviews and make an informed decision before buying this tool. Like WC Fields said, "there's a sucker born every minute.." and I am one of them. I drank the cool aid of Fein's infomercial and went ahead and paid my $400 for this tool. It does only one think well - eats your hard earned money. The only application I have found that works is the grout and adhesive removal for tile. The metal cutting blade wore out the first time I used it trying to cut through a 10p nail - and it didn't even finish the job. I had to revert to my reciprocating saw. The triangle sander pad delaminated after only 15 minutes of use. Twice I've gotten my fingers pinched ( hard too) by the locking arm. I'd sell this tool on eBay to recoup some of my losses, but I can't in good conscience pawn this tool off on anyone else. I wish now that I had waited for the branded knock-offs that are much less expensive for both the tool and the blades.Customer Review: Don't get this tool...

If you want to spend the $400 for this tool, go ahead and buy it. It will do everything as advertised. But, if you want to spend $350 less and have something that will do all the same type of cutting, get the MultiTool by Chicago Tools. I got mine at Harbor Freight Tools and it is great! Chicago has nearly all the same blades for sawing, scraping, grout cutting, diamond blades, etc. The only real difference is how you change blades. The Chicago uses an allen wrench. Big deal! Save your money! Get the Chicago Multi Tool.
Customer Review: Ehh. Nothing spectacular
Summary: 2 Stars
The tool is nothing crazy like the television suggests.
Perfect for small jobs. When you try and push the machine to the edge, you can feel it start to get a bit hot.
In addition, when you put the blade on the machine, you need to make sure it stays in the slot and does not move when you are locking the blade in. I didn't realize this and cracked one of the blades (they are not cheap either).
I dont think I would buy again.

Summary: 5 Stars
I've owned the Fein Multimaster for about a month now, and use it in conjunction with the Turbo II vacuum. This is a convenient and aggressive tool. I held off purchasing it for several years because of the price but now I see that I could have used it for many purposes during my home remodel and could have used it more effectively than the sawzall for most, if not all, of the tasks for which I needed it. The sanding capacity alone will save you significant time and sweat. When I think back to all the sanding I did to the window frames while standing on a ladder I feel somewhat foolish. The vacuum attachment works quite well and is excellent when sanding. In conjunction with the HEPA filter, I cannot detect any airborne particles and there is no cleanup. Be careful when selecting which model to purchase. The new 'no-tool' feature is very nice and I'm glad I didn't buy the previous version that required a hex tool. Look carefully at the supplied items for each of the 3 levels available. The 'Top' version provides the best value and not all of them come with the case, which is somewhat of a necessity. I've read complaints about the case but it certainly seems adequate to me and I can shove a great amount of sandpaper and attachments into the 2 compartments and 1 miscellaneous storage area. You definitely want ear protection. I know the promo. videos show everyone happily using the Multimaster and even talking to each other while it is running, but at 85db+ you WILL damage your hearing. For those who don't need to act manly and go without protection, my standard is a set of silicone plugs combined with the Bilson Thunder T3 ear muffs.
