Fein Multimaster tools, are they any good?

[@Lowgradenarcolepsy]

Proper pieces of kit. Bought the 700 to install a radio on my boat that required a complex cutout on the instrument panel at an awkward angle. Did the job so fast and so accurately was left feeling a little disappointed it was over so quickly. Then discovered that I was able to use the tool on many other projects. Thanks for the no nonsense review.

Great tool and great review.

They now have Bosch Ampshare batteries, that are interchangeable with Bosch tools.

Fein invented the electric drill. I had a 2nd hand fein 5 inch grinder 20 years ago. Its still working. The brushes and bearings are 40 years old and still original. Who else makes good tools today?

[@TOOLKiTMag]

Right on, that said there are some fabulous manufacturers. But the old adage of buying cheap, you buy twice is true when it comes to tools.

Fein no longer hold up. Mine lasted 9 months and I replaced it wi th Makita thats lasted over 2 years. Fein is no longer high quality just high price.

You don't need to unlock it to put the blades on , they snap on

Unsure about star lock. It’s always good to be able to change blades quickly. I think Fein and Bosch had to find a way to stay ahead in the race to the bottom (China) that’s happening in the multi tool business. Harbor Freight sells one currently at $22.97, versus $389 on Amazon for Fein’s flagship Fein Multitool AMM 500 kit with Starlock Plus mounting. Hey, Fein invented the oscillating tool in 1967!

[@TOOLKiTMag]

Thank you for the information Phil. Do you know more about the Harbor Freight brand? We wonder how that would stack up against Fein?

[@inq752]

Where is it produced? What does the label say?

[@jamiesykes1115]

They will all be made in Germany.
