Fein’s MultiMaster

What’s the worst part of owning power tools?

Them dying while you’re in the middle of a project.

A few years back I had to remove the grout in our shower floor.

After 10 minutes my oscillating multi-tool kicked the bucket.

I was not a happy camper.

One hour later I spent an additional $260 and proceeded on with my grout removal.

Today I’m reviewing the Fein MultiMaster 350 multi tool.

If you want one tool that can do it all and will last the test of time, this could be it…

Plus, don’t miss our awesome giveaway 😀

Here’s a secret.

Tools you see on Home Repair Tutor are ones that I either use myself or WANT to use.

Fein makes some of the best tools in the world and the only U.S. office they have is in Pittsburgh.

Am I lucky or what?

Don’t worry, my luck is your luck as you’ll see at the end of this tutorial.

We roll like that in the Home Repair Tutor community.

Every contractor friend I know respects Fein like you respect your grandma.

Fein’s a German company that was born in 1867.

Wilhelm Fein

They made the first oscillating multi-tool in 1968 for cutting plaster casts.

I remember the doctor using one on my sister in 1983.

Here’s the deal with Fein tools: they last forever.

Primarily because they’re built to last.

In Germany, people line up outside stores to buy the MultiMaster.

It’s kinda like the Apple Store when a new iPhone comes out.

I reached out to Fein and asked if I could review some of their tools.

The first one on the docket is the MultiMaster 350Q.

Fein actually sent me the MultiMaster Top kit which is the BOMB.

Here’s what it can do

  • cut wood, drywall, cement board, copper, metal, PVC
  • remove grout
  • scrape adhesive or vinyl floors
  • sand paint off furniture or other surfaces
  • polish wheels

How’s that for versatility?

The first thing you see when you open up the MultiMaster 350Q is the hard case.

Fein Carrying Case

If you buy a nice tool you should protect it.

This case has plenty of storage for extra accessories.

It comes with two large black boxes that hold a variety of accessories.

Tons of Storage

The MultiMaster Top Kit comes with a dust extractor that hooks up to a vacuum or shop vac.

Dust Extractor

Super handy when you’re cutting drywall or cement board…or removing grout.

You also get a variety of sanding pads.

I didn’t mention this in the video but the MultiMaster kinda replaces power sanders.

Why would you spend extra money on a sander if you get a MultiMaster, right?

It comes with all the bells and whistles of a sander.

Changing accessories with the MultiMaster is easy.

It has a quick change lever.

Quick Change Lever

Pull this up and over 180 degrees to release the holding pin.

Pull the pin and install the accessory.

Replace the pin until you hear it snap then move the quick change lever back into it’s locked position.

Easy peasy.

How does the MultiMaster Perform?

Fein claims it’s quieter, has less vibration, and is more powerful than prior iterations.

So I did some tests in my video tutorial to see what would happen 😀

What’s Next

I didn’t cover all the different things you can do with the MultiMaster – the video would have been 3 hours!!

If you only have money to buy one tool you should consider the MultiMaster.
