Don’t have $400 to shell out for a Fein Multimaster? Don’t even have $100 for Dremel’s Multi-Max? How ’bout $40 for Harbor Freight’s Chicago Electric knock-off? I can’t imagine the build quality falls anywhere in the range of the Fein and Dremel, but hey — if you’ve got $40 you can find out. It delivers 19,000 oscillations per minute (compared to as much as 21,000 for the Fein and Dremel). But that’s where the similarities end. While the Fein kit includes a ton of sanding, sawing, and other accessories and the Dremel ships in a variety of kits, the HF model ships with a couple of saws, one cutter, and two sanding sheets.

But here’s the real downer: While the Fein and Dremel offer variable-speed settings, you get just an on-off switch with the HF special. And we’re betting that’s a real deal-killer on this tool, which is designed for fine, delicate work. What do you think? Is the Fein really $300 better than the Dremel? Is the Dremel $60 better than the HF? Let us know in comments.

Stranded on the sixth floor with no way out, the unit must fight their way through the city's worst to survive their mission. Cloaked under the cover of pre-dawn darkness and silence, an elite swat team is tasked with raiding the safe house in order to take down the notorious drug lord that runs it. But when a chance encounter with a spotter blows their cover and news of their assault reaches the drug lord, the building's lights are cut and all the exits blocked.

[Harbor Freight]. I recently bought a Dremel Multi-max for a bathroom remodel. I used it extensively – hard scraper, flexible scraper, cutting metal and wood, sanding and grout removal. I love this thing.

I did pretty much every job they do in the commercials – trimmed up a door for marble flooring, tore out some marble tiles that got out of level, cut some copper pipe to size, cut out drywall for a new switch, scraped out calking from the shower and sink and sanded down some fill from patches in the crown moulding (totally hosed the cut). The variable speed is a definite must for several applications, but especially the scrapers.

I started off too fast with some caulking and it burned the wood and melted the paint & caulk. I set it at about half speed and it tore through it with ease.

Later, I put on the grout grinder, but didn’t change the speed back and it bogged down. I cranked it up to full speed and the grout was turned into such a fine dust that I considered adding some portland and water and re-using it. I looked at the Fein and the Dremel. Since I’m just a Harry-Home-Owner type, the Dremel was enough. If I were a pro, I’d spend the extra on the Fein. There is no way I’d buy the HF – no variable speed sort of makes the tool useless or very limited in application. The most recent issue of This Old House that came had a review of all of the different flavors of this tool from the different manufacturers.

Seems like the only real differences were soft start and oscillations per minute. Dremel was on the lower end of price, and seemed to be the sweet spot of function/price. The contractor that did the testing said he has a fein, and couldn’t do without it. For the rest of us part-timers, I think the Dremel would be fine. I could definitely see picking up the HF model just to see if the general tool category actually fits a need. My contractor had the HF version. I always had wondered what that particular tool was used for; he basically said it was a faster chisel replacement.

Still wasn’t quite convinced until I started putting in laminate flooring. If you’re not familiar, all the door molding and door frames need to be cut at the bottom so that the flooring can slip underneath to reduce gaps and look slightly more real. I did two frames with a chisel.

They probably took 5 mins each. I did one with a grinder and a metal cutting abrasive blade; it made tons of smoke and was clearly going to be too large for most of the work. I went out and bought the HF tool, and did the next 12 cuts in the time it took to do the first two.

In my book, that tool’s paid for itself. I have the HF tool and it works great. I used it to cut baseboards where I’m installing built-in cabinets. Also to cut square holes in the middle of a piece of 3/4 ply. I haven’t tried scraping so perhaps I’ll miss the variable speed if I need to scrape but it’s not an issue so far.

The unit is heavy and seems well built. There are not a many attachments as there seem to be with the other manufacturers, and the way you attach the blade is just a nut that can wiggle loose. If I used it all the time, I’d probably rather have the Dremel but as it is, I’d rather have the $60. I have the Tool Shop version of this tool.

While it doesn’t look identical. It’s pretty close and it look like it uses the same attachments. I got it as a Christmas present, I actually asked for one because I was interested in seeing if I would use it, and did want to spend a ton of money. I played with it for about an hour after I got it and have used it twice since then. My impressions of the tool are that it’s built solidly, the motor is balanced (unlike some knock off dremels I’ve used), and it has enough power so that it doesn’t bog down cutting into harder woods.
