The Sears multi tool blades fix the Fein and the all blades and grout tools are cheaper than the Fein.
(only used it for cutting wood and plaster). While the MultiMaster worked very well in cutting out old windows, I found that the metal and carbide blades wear out very quickly when cutting through the metal casement frames and plaster with the carbide blades. I will try taking the $12 blades to someone with a plasma cutter to see if I can get them to work on the MultiMaster. Because they are so expensive, I decided to buy the Harbor Freight version whose carbide blades also wear out quickly but are only $12 compared to $50+ for Fein blades. The blades are not interchangeable and the harbor freight oscillating tool worked really well for the $39 I paid for it. Great tool, just too expensive to keep buying blades. If you really want to buy these, it is a much better buy than buying each one separately.
The carbide blades wear out very quickly. The prices of their blades is ridiculously high. I like the tool because it does a job that nothing else on the market matches. I wish that FEIN would wake up and offer the carbide blade as a standalone product instead of packaging it with other accessory blades that I do not need. I hope that some aftermarket manufacturer gets the hint and gives these arrogant people some competition. The tool is unique and superb but I wish that they had some competition to bring the prices in line with reality.
The carbide blade wore out too fast - not worth the price - try the diamond tool as it outlasted the carbide
The carbide grout blade wear out too fast. I went thru three carbide blades just to remove grout from a shower stall area.
