Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
This versatile tool does it all. From notching deck boards to cutting bolts and nails in order to remove old construction. I have owned it for two years and still am finding new uses for it. The only thing I haven't been able to do yet, is tighten bolts or drive screws...but give me time. I am so impressed, I chose it to give as a gift to my tool-poor future son-in law instead of a drill/driver/saw/light cordless combo set. The long cord makes it seem cordless and gives you unlimited power. Don't get swayed by the corded/cordless imitations, they aren't built as well as the Fein.

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
I have an older Fein sander (lacks the star drive) but I could not successfully adapt the new star drive blades to it. I had a delicate tile job so I bought the new tool. The grout blade worked well. I then used it for cutting holes for electrical boxes in siding. It did the work far better (and safer....) than plunge cutting with a jugsaw, leaving clean edges. I don't tend to reach for it first since the blades/attachments are very expensive (the similar parts for competing tools are much less expensive and i can't see the extra cost justified) but in a delicate situation it can't be beat. A long time ago, I bought a similar oscillating detail sander but it was junk by comparison so when the reviews of competing tools implied that the Fein was the best, I spent the extra money.

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
I'm a professional carpenter and part time boatbuilder. I resisted buying a Multimaster for years because the price seemed high. I bought one specifically for removing caulk in a teak deck and found I use it all the time in my carpenttry work. I've convinced two friends to but one. I can't imagine NOT having it in my truck as I use it nearly every day.

THIS IS IT, the tool you need to cut in tight corners and small dead ended spaces.
Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
good balance, could use a tad more power when useing agressive blades,a little practice is recomended befor you use on an expencive job.
Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
I have used the product in a number of ways.
For a dinghy maintenance project (replacing rub rail inside and out) I used the cutting tool, the sanding tool.
Have used it to saw through a broken/bent shackle (I was amazed how well it did this)
also used around the house for a variety of uses (mostly sanding and cutting so far)
very solidly made tool.
i agree with another reviewer that the vacuuming accessory is not that good. I had hard time getting it to work well.
Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
First time I used this product I loved it. I couldn't remove roofing nails with out ruining the wood. I used the metal/wood saw tool and buzzed those nails off in just minutes. I've also used the semi-circular saw blade to cut the fiberglass roof material and it cut it like butter. With the sabersaw it was much harder and took took two people. This tool is great and I will use it often.

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
I CAN USE THIS TOOL FOR MOST PRECISION CUTTING, GRINDING, SANDING JOBS THAT I HAVE AROUND THE HOUSE. I AM RETIRED NOW AND NO LONGER WORK IN THE FIELD AND AM SORRY I DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT THE MULTIMASTER BEFORE I RETIRED. IT IS SO HANDY AND USEFUL THAT I KEEP GOING AROUND THE HOUSE LOOKING FOR ANOTHER JOB TO INCLUDE MY NEW MULTIMASTER.

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
I got this tool by accident, a friend bought one for himself, then his wife bought him one for his birthday. I bought the tool from him, even though I had no interest in such an expensive tool.
MY LUCKY DAY! Wow, I just love it for what I use it for. I have found so many uses for this tool, I can't even list them all. Most work you can do with this, you can get done some other way, but once you have THIS tool, it turns into your "go to" tool. No, it's not perfect: The segmented blade that's included broke very quickly, and a flush blade I ordered came too bent to use. (See my reveiw on flush blade). Get the HSS flush blade. Other blade, for soft materials, is stamped steel, and cheap. When I broke the included segment blade, I found I could still use it, even though it broken almost in half. Replacement flush blade literally erases plugs(I punch a hole in a 3x5 card, place it over the plug; leaves just enough plug to sand flush quickly) the 3 1/8 round blade is much better than the included blade. I traded the tile tools on an online trading site for extra sand paper. Note that the hook fasteners on the triangle sanding pad melt at a low temp, so let the sandpaper do the work and don't force the sanding or you can melt the hooks. Dust collector is worthless. I wish the straight cut E blade was stiffer. If you search the net, there's a good article on making your own multiblades. Use a metal straight edge and the round HSS blade to make narrow curf, precision straight line cuts way better than a jig saw. Wish they made a side cut blade (like a sawzall). Love the long cord. Lastly, I have found many uses for this tool that I never would have thought of until I started using it.

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
This product does it all and does it well. I was looking for a detail sander for my hardwod stairs that could get into corners. This is a great detail sander. I also used it when installing laminate flooring and the saw was awesome. It can plunge cut and is great for cutting door jambs. [...]

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
I use this tool to cut away some wood floor boards so that the wood vents I purchased would sit flush w/ the wood floor. This tool made the job a lot easier than doing it by hand, especially using the depth stop. The Multimaster tool is light weight & easy to handle & at the price Jamestown Distributors had to offer, it was the best deal on the web.

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
Purchased this tool specificly to redo my Endeavour 40's woodwork, for hard to reach areas.
I initially was pleased with the heft of the multimaster. It has a good honest feel to it. having had several other small sanders, I can say that this tool has a quality feel to it.
But it has flaws, and that is what I would want to focus on. Very high on my list of must have features was dust collection using my festool ct 22 hepa vac. I purchased the top for that reason.
The dust collection device that comes with this tool is a after thought. it is not well designed. It is more of a hinderence than a asset. It constantly pulled out of the slot, sending teak and varnish dust all over. Finally I used a bit of duct tape to tape it together and it now stays together.
also with the dust collection in place the pin that holds the sanding pad to the tool isn't long enough, and at times the tool won 't sand well. The pin has to be firmly seated to work and it is not long enough when the dust collection is in place. Again I have to say that fein put the dust collection on as a after thought, unlike my festool sander that has integral dust collection that works flawlessly.
I have yet to use other attachments but feel that they will do a good job.
Overall a fine tool, with reservations.
Expensive.

I am building a wooden sailboat and am presently lining the interior with wood strips. This tool is a lifesaver for its versatility and its ability to reach small spaces. I have used the sanding and cutting attachments and they do a great job. I wish I had known about this tool a couple years ago when I re-grouted the tile floor in our kitchen.

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
What a versatile power tool this is!, & I have used it for repairs around the house etc okay!! The only thing that I found or picked up on was that this power tool is somewhat "Noisy", but anyway, I guess that is how it has being made, & the way it operates! Like all other power tools their is always noise involved! If only the Fein Multi-Master was made to be a bit more quieter!??

Comments about Fein Fein MultiMaster FMM 250Q Top Plus:
There was a low temprature issue that Fein fixed prompltly, [...]. I am a landlord so fixing rentals is great with this tool. Grout replacement,cutting out old door jambs to replace latch plates. I find more and more things to do with this tool. I actually cannot wait to cut the old bathroom window out of one of the houses, it should be a breeze with this tool.

I have used the plunge cutting blades more than the sander option. Very clean cuts and easy to use.

After lusting for one of these for years, I finally overcame sticker-shock and bought the best tool I've had in years. The Multimaster paid for itself in 1 hour! As a professional painter, this tool makes all prep a snap...and opened other opportunities.
