Also the oscillating regular sized blade can be tough to see and manage. So depending on what is being cut it negates the advantage of the small blade. This characteristic makes it tough to be precise with the smaller blade. Its a nice option having smaller blades for this tool. However unlike the dremel tool in certain applications the fein can be a bit bulky.
Torqueing the cheap Phillips head screws with the Fein-provided screwdriver high enough to keep the blade in firmly in place, it is very easy to strip the head of the screw. The product is handy in small areas and on otherwise difficult cuts. The cutting blade mounting, however, should be with higher grade screws.
For even better results you can tape some of the 3M micron abrasive strips to the top of a mini blade and hone to a mirror finish, thus turning your multimaster into a top notch portable sharpening system. The other black plastic guide that is included is a 15 degree wedge guide which can be used with the diamond file for sharpening tools and knives, it works surprisingly well. This is one of the few multimaster accessory kits that doesn't seem ridiculously overpriced to me. The mini blades can be purchased seperately for ~$5 each compared with ~$20/each for the full size blades and they are more than adequate for most tasks, with the exceptions being flush cuts and deep plunge cuts.The mini carbide rasp and diamond file are very useful also.
It's especially helpful for detail work. It's great that the tools are 3/4 smaller than the original tools that comne with the tool. This assortment of tools is the perfect addition to your Multi Master. It has numerous "mini" versions of wood and metal cutting blades, the diamond file and the extra coarse diamond tipped "sanding/grinding" tool.
