Just too expensive
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.

Solid, serious tool!
This oscillating saw is built with the highest quality materials to provide a dependable tool that should last a very long time. It is indespensible for making flush cuts and doing cutouts in wood and other workable materials. The big problem is the blades that are quite costly (about $20. each- from the manufacturer) are not of the same quality materials and dull quite quickly even just working in materials such as pine or plywood. Hopefully at some point in the near future other tool makers will be granted the rights to produce the blades which will not only bring down the price but should improve the quality and maybe some new blade designs.

Good Blades
I use saws all the time for cuting base moulding for repairs these blades are fast and acurate. Much simpler than a hand saw.

Useful but pricey
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.

Fein Precision Blades Good but Costly
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.
