Why not 5 stars. First, if you own a Fein Multi-master you MUST have this blade as it has the most universal use of any of their blades.I have used this blade for many projects a) drywall cut outs [especially recepticle cutouts], b) cutting through HVAC ductwork, c) cutting through formica d) trimming doorway and window trim e) many more. Everything you do with this blade (or the Fein tool in general), you could do with another tool, BUT, this is handy, quick and has saved me many, many, many hours.Why 4 stars - primarily versatility. blade life and cost. The good news is that it runs highly discounted every few months at Amazon.
This blade shattered around the hub after two uses. I liked the design but will not purchase it again.
I recently discovered that Sears makes a simular tool and Sears blade will work on my Fein tool at half the price of Feins asking price. I purchased the Fein saw about a year ago. I have used the sears blade and they last about as long as the Fein blade. I have found that the tool is very useful in everyday home remodeling. Although as mentioned in alot of other reviews, the Fein blades are very expensive for the amount of use you get out of them. I know where I buy my blades from. Maybe Fein will get the message and become more competive in their prices/
I hate the rip-off prices for the blades. I love my Fein Multimaster. I'm hoping someone will get some aftermarket blades of all types available soon.Interesting application--I repaired old brick foundation that had very thin, rotten mortar. I hate being ripped off for blades. I have used almost all of the blades for my Fein, love how they work. I used a worn out wood blade between the bricks, the old mortar just fell out. Totally ruined the blade, but I sailed through the mortar like butter and most of the debris fell out, so clean up was a couple of quick blasts of air and I was ready to tuckpoint.I would recomend the tool a lot quicker if the blades were reasonable, but tool not a good choice because of operating cost.
If you have the specific need for this blade, it works great. They do wear out pretty quick, but like most Multi Master tools, they are built for specific tasks and get the job done when conventional methods & tools don't work.
