Customer Reviews:
Expensive, but worth the money
This is the only power tool, so far as i am aware but possibly the Rockwell knockoff would also work, that will quickly and cleanly remove old hardened window glazing without breaking the glass. For this one purpose alone, it is worth the money if you have many windows to re-glaze. All of the movement is in the X-Y plane, none in the Z axis so you can rest the tools directly on glass without breaking it. It is also extremely useful for flush cuts on wood and sheet rock cutouts, where it does a neater job than a rotozip. Blades are a bit too expensive, but high quality. Great tool for flush cutting nails. Cuts faster than one would think. One of the most useful tools I own.
My husband loves this...
Great product! My husband is a construction veteran and said this is one tool that a carpenter shouldn't be without.
A Five Star Tool but too expensive for casual users
I think the other reviews of this device are pretty much on target. This is an excellent tool and it does what it advertises. But does a tool that basically vibrates fast really need to cost four hundred dollars? Here are my thoughts:
1.) The patent on this tool has expired and there are several multimaster "clones" out there. A short list: Rockwell, Dremel, Harbor Freight Tools, Bosch. Of these, the Bosch is probably the best, and it even takes the Fein blades. However as of this writing you can only buy the uncorded version in the United States. This is not the sort of tool that should be powered by a battery.
2.) All of the attachments work very well. The sanding function is terrific and if you haven't used an oscillator of this type before (for instance if you're used to using a Black & Decker "Mouse" or something similar) you will be pleasantly surprised at this upgrade. The other attachments also work well, but I would not use the E-Blade or any E-Blade to cut metal, unless it is very thin. Don't try to cut hard metals.
3.) I agree that the plastic case inserts are not professional grade. The case itself is acceptable, but I prefer the Bosch cases.
4.) The blades. Buying replacement blades for this tool can be a drag. The Fein blades are of course very good, but at a starting price of $15 and up you're talking about a further outlay of hard earned money. Yes, there are other options, including the Harbor Freight Tools option or making your own blades, but remember these options void your warranty and aren't as good as the Fein blades. BTW, yes you can use round blades with this tool; you don't "need" the star-shaped quick attachment feature that is under the screw, although it obviously helps.
The verdict: if you are a casual user and only plan to do the work this tool requires a few (less than four) times a year, I wouldn't spend the money. Buy a clone tool instead. Of the clones mentioned earlier, I would avoid the Rockwell--the blades don't work with any of the others. Bear in mind that this tool shines best when used for the things shown in the informercial; while you can probably ditch your reciprocating saw after you buy the multimaster, I would still keep around my jigsaw and a few other tools.
In addition, if you are the type of person who has to have the best of the best then I would say that this tool is for you. Sure you can de-grout a bathroom with a dremel or similar tool for about 1/4 the price, but this is surely not the point for somebody like that.
If you are a professional user, in my view this is a no-brainer. Spend the money on as many multimasters as you can afford. They will pay for themselves many times over within a few months.
Tool Time
This is a great multi tool, used it of some projects doing electrical additions, that use to take 30 min. With the Fein it took 2 minuites. Lent it to a friend while laying floor, he said it was great for working aournd the doors for easy cuts. Almost did not get my tool back! Just make sure you by the whole kit that come with everything.
Excellent for detail work, but costly and has lousy packaging 
My hubbie got this from Fein web site (FMM 250Q) and got it fast. However, we had missing parts (a cellopane wraped 3 blade combination of accessories) that should come with the kit. Called Fein and they were surprised that those were missing, but sent to us by UPS anyway without charges. Do not have 365/7/24 customer service, but people who picked up the phone are nice and professional.
Packaging is not as good as expected. After we took the tool out, we cannot put it back unless we took out those filmsy plastic packaging inside the tool box provided. They need better packaging design for such a high price tool.
Tool seem to be well made, but accessories are very expansive. For charging this kind of price, Fein should have included all accessories in the product.
For using, I am not strong enough to flip the handle to change the accessories. However, I like using it to cut wood board and pipes. My hubby has used this to cut sidings, trims and he used this to change sidings in the front portion of our house and he likes the tool. We are planning on using the MulitMaster to sand down the window trims for re-painting this coming year. We like using this tool for detail work and projects that are limited in space.
I understand that Dremmel and Rockwell has came out with similar product (even look the same), but at a lower price level, but I am not sure if the quality are as good as this one from Fein.
Overall, we like the tool, but think it is a bit costly, especially when you need to order additional accessories.
