Fein Precision Blades Good but CostlyMay 12, 2007
By Jackstress
"Jack Smith"
These Fein tool blades Cut very precisely for the uses for which they were intended. When cutting into wood near a wall or in tight spaces, it fits but those spaces usually may have nails or other obstructions which will tear up the blades quickly. There are no sawall type bimetal blades for cutting nail embedded wood yet. Can make the job expensive. Taking out an antique wideboard heartwood floor which I needed to put back in the same place, cost me over $600 in blades. Worked great but expensive.
These Fein blades are still under patent but will be coming off in about a year. Then other can creat better blade products at a much more competitive price.

 precision cut bladeNov 15, 2003
get more life ... when the teeth break off use your dremel tool with a cut-off blade and cut new teeth in the steel and stop spending the big bucks for new blades. I do not often share this information....

 Useful but priceyJun 27, 2007
By L. Kennedy
The Fein Multimaster tool and associated blades are invaluable for those specialized tasks that no other tool really does well, as advertised. I used these blades to custom fit a cabinet for an under-counter fridge where some cuts were necessary that would have been almost impossible with any other tool. Very easy, very tidy.
However, the blades wear out quickly and are very expensive. It is too bad Fein won't make them out of bi-metal, or lower their price point. They are missing a much bigger market out there, in my opinion. Use them when you must, but only when you must.

 Just too expensiveJul 26, 2008
By J. Hutchinson
The multimaster is the tool for plunge cuts. But the blades are way too expensive. If I can buy an excellent utility 7 inch carbide blade from Freud for $9, and a durable sawzall blades for $3, why must a Fein blade cost $19?
Teeth sheer off on nails.

Good tool, poor bladesNov 17, 2005
By Practical Evaluator
"MA"
The Fein multimaster is a great tool for specialty cutting jobs, provided only cutting soft materials and limited use. I have had the same experience as other users. The tool operates much like (and could be substituted for) a Stryker surgical cast saw. However, the steel blades are expensive for their limited life. The carbide and diamond blades are better.
This Fein tool has enabled a few jobs not possible with other tools, or saved considerable labor for some jobs (as opposed to the usual methods).
But don't expect it to be a workhorse because of the limited life and special cut design of the steel blades. I have done limited blade sharpening touch-up using brasselerusa.com serrated diamond saw blades, but this is specialized/expensive equipment most tool users don't have. Sharpening would require very specialized sharpening equipment which apparently only Fein has at their factory. It is so sad that they do not offer blades make from more durable materials.
