Hot or Not? The Fein MultiMaster
Monday, June 11th, 2007
Fein advertises this tool as more than a detail sander. In fact, after reading one of their blurbs on it, I always get the feeling that it could remodel my entire house single-handedly.
That might explain why I’ve always been a bit dubious about it.
Fein claims that because the MultiMaster oscillates – as opposed to reciprocating or rotating — it can sand, cut, plunge cut, scrape, rasp, and even grind. They make a zillion different attachments to aid it in accomplishing these tasks.
But the price catches me as well. Is this tool really worth $300+?
All that said, I’ll admit that I’ve never laid my hands on one. I’m hoping some of you have and will share your experiences. Is it worth the price? Does it really work well for all the tasks Fein claims? Let us know in comments.

Removing old, hardened grout from tile joints can be a major pain. There are a lot of ways to go about it, but almost all of them involve either damaging the tile, generating tons of grout dust, or both. (We can tell you first hand that grout dust is not good for your health.)
German tool company Fein offers this unusual tool which they claim can cut, grind, raso, sand, plunge, and scrape.
