Fein MultiMaster Tool

[Allen Wright]

Jon,

Fascinating vid, and very impressive looking tool; promotional hype  
like this can make me cautious - but hearing from a piano guy gives  
it credibility.

This might be a really useful all-around tool to have in the shop -  
sort of like the Dremel tool with its multiple applications.

Can you blend smoothies with it, too?! Probably not, since it's so  
sensitive to soft substances (likes skin) as they demonstrate in the  
video   : )   That bit reminded me of that incredible cabinet saw  
called the Saw Stop that somebody mentioned on the list last year  
that stops so instantly that it won't cut a person's finger...

Has anyone else used the tool?

Best regards,

Allen Wright
