That Multimaster Works Fein

The other day I got the brilliant idea that we should restore a few of our more dilapidated older windows. After what seemed like an eternity of scraping, I realized we then had an extra eternity of sanding ahead. I had tried a Dremel contour sander in the past and it vibrated a lot and just was not that effective. Enter German engineering and the Fein Multimaster. This little tool sands, scrapes, polishes, cuts, removes grout and more (with the appropriate attachments). I used it mainly for sanding and scraping, both of which it handles remarkably well. You have to be careful with the scraper though, it’s very easy to gouge wood with. The sander works fantastic if you are sanding what the tool is designed for: small areas and details. The only downside to the tool that I have discovered is amazingly expensive accessories. Be prepared to shell out $50 or more dollars just for a cutting blade, and lots of recurring expense of sanding pads and paper. Despite the expensive attachments, I highly recommend the tool. It’s very well engineered and effective. Get more details at the Fein website. I got mine from AllProTools.com, and they are running a holiday Fein drill/Multimaster combo worth checking out for $389. Or you can get just the Multimaster starting at a little under $200.
