What is your opinion on Multi Use Power
Tools,ie. for sanding, sawing etc? Is there a specific brand you would
recommend, and if so, why? - Daniel
Thanks for the inquiry.
This question is real easy to
answer. I have used several different so-called “Multi-Purpose Power
Tools” in the past for various projects. Multi-Purpose
tools, as with any other tool, fall under “You Get What You Pay For.”
I have found that the less expensive tools vibrate too much and have a tendency to make my hand and arm numb. I have also found the less expensive
tools very limited on the availability of accessories.
After experimentation with the less
expensive tools and sometimes dreadful experiences, I finally found the true
Multi-Purpose Tool, the Fein Multi-Master (MSXE6362XL.) Anyone that
is a “Do It Yourselfer” will appreciate this truly “Multi-Purpose”
tool. I found the tool expensive initially, however, with the time
savings and capabilities, it has paid for itself over and over again. I
have also found that our Multi-Master sales are driven by people being exposed
to someone using one. The tool really sells itself.
Thanks to the huge variety of available accessories, I’ve been able use my Fein Multi-Master for
polishing, sanding, cutting, scraping and sawing. My most recent project
required the cutting of underlayment and trim to install new kitchen cabinets. My
Multi-Master worked great and offered superior control compared to using a
Circular saw. In addition, I will be installing a new tile floor in the
kitchen and I will use my Multi-Master as a jamb saw (have you ever priced a
Jamb Saw?) to install the new tile under the door jambs and trim.
My wife (The Commander) recently discovered
my Multi-Master for her antique restoration. Needless to say, it’s not my
Multi-Master anymore. The Commander has used HER Multi-Master to sand, finish
and cut replacement parts her many antique restoration projects. The
Commander’s Comments, “It works great for sanding into small areas
and details and it doesn’t put my hands asleep!” There
you have it, The Commander’s Endorsement.
Finally, for those of you in need for “More
Power”, step up! Fein has introduced their new line of
Multi-Masters (250Q Select and 250Q Top.) The original Multi-Master XL
has a strong 160 watts of power and the new Master has 250 watts of awesome
power. Bottom line, you can get’r done faster. Another added
benefit to the new Multi-Master is the “Quick Action” tool less
blade change. The tool less blade change has also incorporated the star washer
to assist in locking the tooling in at the desired angle. Hey, less items
to misplace, a winner.
Don’t have your Fein Multi-Master
yet? What’s the hold up? Get one and find out what
professional results you can get. And Yes!!!, this is a “Rick’s
Pick” Big Time!
Thanks again for the inquiry and Happy
Multi-Mastering!
