Fein MultiMaster MM 300 Plus Start Oscillating Multitool Set with QuickIn System - StarLockPlus Mount, 250 W, 11,000-20,000 OPM - 72297261090

My first multi-tool was the original Dremel, and I gave it a favorable review here. Over time, though, it began to show its budget roots and eventually pretty much fell apart. That was a blessing really, because it was a very hot and noisy device that simply was not up to the construction sorts of projects I used it on.Now Fein's prices are so much lower that I just could not pass this up. I wanted the simple kit and will buy both Fein and Bosch attachments for it as I need them, for specific projects. They are indeed expensive, but are of good quality and there is a huge variety for all sorts of things. And in the end there is no good alternative for many of the jobs this tool is used for.Clearly this is a whole different beast than the light duty Dremel (I think they make a heavier duty version now). I experimented with all sorts of uses and it never got hot and the vibration is very low, a huge improvement. Clearly it has far more power and the soft start is appreciated. The cutting action itself is noisy, nothing can be done about that, but the 350 itself is quiet.It cut through some test pieces fast, just like the videos. Very impressive.The attachment process is a kick, so much better than the allen wrench approach. People complain that the old attachments are now obsolete and that is understandable. It should be noted that the attachment method and the claimed better performance wins out. I hate throwing out my old blades, but this system should be viable for many years and likely in the end be a better investment.The line-up of attachment options is bewildering. There are so many that even Amazon doesn't carry them all, yet at least. You really have to study the catalogue as it is the only half-way clear source of information of what is available and the various grades and uses. Most of us will not buy every single option, win the lotto first, but a few different attachments will do most every thing most of us want to do. And there are blades for specialty tasks and those who need those will be thrilled to have them.I was at first put off by the bag. How much is a plastic box anyway? But now I am happy. You know it takes 10 minutes to stuff the cords into the cases that come with tools. And the Fein has a really long cord. With the bag you can simple throw it in and be done with it. Actually a superior option for many of us. There needs to be a good little case to hold the attachments, at least the blades and sanding stuff.This is a quality product and I am glad I now have it, could have used it before on some tough projects.

Oscillating tools are like electric guitars - everyone should have one, and they make the world a better place. I bought one made by Fein on the recommendation of a contractor who was rebuilding my deck.It has the feel of a quality tool. It’s solid, a bit heavy but not too heavy, the speed dial works smoothly, and the soft start is both helpful and very cool. For a change, it has a long cord. I have used it once so far to replace some trim above my garage that was being colonized by some hungry termites. It melted through the tasty Doug fir leaving clean straight edges that were easy to mate with the new boards.Using it for the first time was a revelation, opening up worlds of possible DIY’s that I was dreading to tackle with a keyhole handsaw or one of those wood butcher single-ended hacksaw blade handles. ‘Scuse me now. I have a medicine cabinet to install!

Great tool! Low vibration. I don’t know why I haven’t bought one sooner. It has become a go to tool for my uses.

I've owned the very first version of this tool. Everything just works! and works REALLY well. It's so well thought out with the right power and ergonomics you can't help but be assured they have really field tested this over the years and improved on a a great platform and foundation. This is also the type of tool you'll own for a long time because they have come up with SO MANY USES for it. So, if you can, save your money up, it will cost around 22% more but you'll get a lifetime of use, more options, and be able to sell your previous model without a question if you move up to a newer model someday. You also get through to REAL people if you call them for advice of any kind. Dare I say this is one "Fein" company! Most highly recommended.

This is the second fien tool I've bought there a well made tool. But on high side dollar wise. This one has the new star lock and release system it works nice but having hard time finding blades for it and if I do there crazy expensive

Superb tool for those jobs where a skill saw not needed. Great balance versatile frequencies snd excellent precision and clean cutting/ trimming.

I have been a professional contractor for over 4 decades. Fein came out with these years ago (long before their competitors did). I have purchased 2 of these units. The first one I used (hard...every single day) for 10 years before it finally gave out. I've been using the second one and it is just a durable as the last. By far the best, in my opinion. They make other tools as well. They match this durable quality!!! Worth the price!!! If you're a pro, buy this one. It will never leave you stranded. As a plus, it comes with a cord that is actually long enough to use for most jobs! Just all-around quality!!Big Rudy.
