Rowe (Midlothian, VA USA) 56 out of 56 found this review helpful I use the Fein Multimaster almost daily in my contracting business, and have found it to be one of the most useful tools on my truck. I use it primarily for cutting out areas of wood rot, and it does this with almost surgical precision! In my opinion, the Universal E Cut blades are a significant improvement over the other E Cut blades that have a Japanese saw tooth pattern. The tooth pattern on the Universal Blade looks similar to a hacksaw blade, but even with the smaller teeth it seems to cut through wood more quickly than the larger Japanese pattern. The Universal Blades are also less expensive, and will cut through nails you encounter with ease. The other more expensive E Cut blades shatter when you are unlucky enough to encounter a nail, brick or concrete surface. I would like to see Fein offer some wider versions of this superior blade design, and re-evaluate their pricing strategy for all of their blades. Make your own blades! January 21, 2007 C. Leighton 50 out of 54 found this review helpful Several reviews complain about the exorbitant cost of the blades for the Fein Multimaster. I compleatly agree with this. My solution was to start making my own. I bought a replacement dozuki blade, cut it in to three sections, welded each section to a piece of 16 gauge metal in which I had drilled the proper mounting hole. This week I was doing tile work so I bought a tungsten carbide hacksaw blade, cut off a couple inches and welded this piece of 16 gauge. These blades work Great! and at a small fraction of the cost Fein expects to get. Excellent blades, but the price! November 18, 2006 Richard Bienvenu 17 out of 17 found this review helpful Amazon has the best price I've seen for these, but why, why does Fein charge so much for these? Great blades November 10, 2006 Mikhail Taboryski (Pt. Richmond, CA) 15 out of 15 found this review helpful These blades work great for making cuts where no other tool can go. They produce a very clean edge in wood an can go through a nail if you find one hidden in the wood. The ability to plunge straight into the work in a controlled manner is great. A bit pricey, but worth the money when you would otherwise be stuck in a tight corner. Great for making wide surface cuts but..... January 26, 2004 Bob Feeser (Springfield, PA USA) 14 out of 15 found this review helpful I'm glad I have this blade for use with the Fein Multimaster. The only problem is that when you are doing a job like trying to cut through a 3/4" cedar wall to install an outlet box, it is hard to keep a perfect corner. I am not talking about keeping a perfect line, it is great for that, but when you are trying to cut an exact corner with a wide angled blade, it is hard to determine the edge. Consequently the edge of your cut can go a little wider than hoped for, leaving a tiny slit that can run out of the outside circumference of your edge lines. For making those kind of cuts the straight blades, without the angled sides makes for a perfect job. Knowing where the edge of the blade is, even while it is sinking into the wood is the key to getting your corners exact. With the 2 1/2 inch E cut blade, the tip is harder to get a bearing on where the vibrating edge is going to leave its mark. I'm not saying that you can't do the job with this blade, but for that type of application, the square rectangular blades make it easy to do a perfect job. I'm not knocking this 2 1/2 inch blade. As a matter of fact I like using it for covering a wide area. I can angle the face of the blade along a line, and as the back of the edge is sinking deep, the front edge is starting a new edge of the cut. All in all highly recommended. PS: Get a square-rectangular style blade as well. Showing reviews 1-5 of 94 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...19 Next »
